We are experienced sitters but new to being home owners needing sitters for when we are overseas later this year full time house sitting. We recently filled our 5 month sit (no pets) by being very specific in our listing by saying we won’t split the sit dates and only want sitters to apply who can commit to the full 5 months. We said that we provide a very professional quality service to our owners and we are wanting sitters who offer the same type of service to us. Sitters who are reliable, will do what they promise us and who will commit to the full term of the sit (we don’t want to split the sit). While our sit hasn’t happened yet, our chosen sitters seem excellent.
