Hello from Double Oak, Texas

[cbassano]

Christine and Mike, brand new to this company and already have a lovely house/pet sitter for our trip to So Africa, hoping to see the big 5, safari time !!
We hope to be able to find sits in various locations this year… we do have 1 dog so I suppose the biggest challenge will be coordinating the dates we want to travel and the dates a sitter would be available for us! Fingers crossed. Good to meet you all online and live vicariously reading about everybody’s great experiences…ciao!

@cbassano Hello Christine & Mike,

I would like to wish you both a very warm welcome to TrustedHousesitters and the community forum. Here you can ask questions, read previous topics (use the spyglass) and connect with other community members.

I am so pleased to hear that you have found your first sitter and what an exciting trip to have planned! We would definitely love to see photos.

You can also add your TrustedHousesitters home listing link to your forum profile. That way other members can see your listing and give you helpful tips and feedback. Although I am sure that you are off to a great start as you have your first sitter.

How to add a listing or profile link to your FORUM profile

It’s important to firstly understand that your FORUM PROFILE is different to the profile you have as a member on the main TrustedHousesitters’ website. We do not allow links to profiles or listings in forum topics or posts (see guidelines here), but you can add the link of your TrustedHousesitter website profile or house sit listing in your FORUM PROFILE. The process is slightly different for owners and sitters. Note - We would recommend you do this on the desktop version as it’s easier to ma…

Best wishes Carla

Do you have any particular places in mind where you would like to sit?

Thank you…just seeing this now…we had a wonderful time at Ezilwini Lodge hour drive from Hoedspruit…missed seeing leopard and buffalo…disappointed but regardless, great time away among animal spirits …( and awful termite mansions )!!! I am absolutely terrible at all matters of technology so sad that everything I want to do with the forum and the primary seems to overwhelm me. I promise myself now to sit home and familiarize myself with all that can be done with this organization…not having easy access to live folks makes it more stressful for me but today i finally had a call back from a wonderful helpful gal…prayers !!
