Declined sittings without any interaction

@ManuelToroVelez and welcome to the forum! I took a look at your profile and I really don’t see a reason for any rejections, but please note, this is not common for owners/pet parents to disregard applications and reject without a courtesy follow up message to a potential applicant. I think you just got the “luck of the draw” with some who might even be new themselves and don’t understand the need for courtesy messages.

Thank you for joining our community forum. You are going to find it is filled with answers to most, if not all, of your questions and enquiries.

My name is Debbie and I am one of the forum moderators, as well as a sitter member of TrustedHousesitters. I was an owner member for three years and have now moved over to a sitter membership, so I have insight into both sides of the memberships.

I am hoping this info will help you find your way around the platform and interest you to join in the conversations. It can be a little daunting and confusing at first, so we included this handy guide
