You can write a response, but there is no hurry. No time limit at all actually.
So it is good to wait a while. And let someone else read before you post it.

I’m going to go on record here and say that as a sitter and a homeowner, a sitter should NEVER Let anyone in a home they’re sitting without prior permission from the homeowner. If it’s not a violation of THS policy, it should be. It’s unacceptable and disrespectful. How are you supposed to be trusted if you let people in the home? You might know that person, but the homeowner does not.
I respect that other people have opinions that are different from mine, I ask that some of the more frequent posters (You know who you are) Refrain from being snide and bullying towards my opinion, which happens to be different from their own.

@bauhausfrau - please leave a clear, honest, specific review. Needn’t be an essay. Just the facts. You’ll probably feel better for it.
Were the camera(s) stated in the listing and welcome guide? Seems an important nuance. THS related policy … " all devices must be disclosed to a sitter before a sit starts, and a pet parent must display this information on their listing as well as their Welcome Guide"
The cleaning and related appreciation appear to be an unrelated topic. Unfortunate but separate.

I once did a petsit with just my daughter. The rest of my family was 10 minutes away in our RV. I needed to build reviews and this one was close. My family would pick us up to eat dinner and then drop us off sometimes. My youngest son wanted to come in and see the dog but I didn’t ask before the pet sit started if the family could come inside so I had to tell my son no. I also had another sit near my aunt in California. She kept wanting to come over and I had to explain again that only the applicants could enter the home. Not saying you did the wrong thing. But I will say that some homeowners are very very particular especially the ones who are anxious about leaving the home to a stranger. In your case, you are a stranger that let in another stranger.

Totally agree @DarkAloha .
As sitters we can’t even assume that a “friendly” neighbour is someone that the homeowner would want to invite in .
Always check with hosts first and if in doubt keep them out !
