Hi @elocution,
On behalf of the forum team, a warm welcome to the TrustedHousesitter’s community. As I tell my husband almost daily…ITALY. is. EVERYTHING! I’m obsessed with Italy and Italian culture in general…mostly your food 
.
Where would you and your daughter most like to travel to? What part of the north are you from? Maybe I have been there and if not I can add it to my list. There’s a lot of useful information here on the forum about how to get started as a first time sitter. mY main recommendation is to make your message personal and try to bring any of the details the homeowner mentions into your welcome message when you apply for a sit. As a homeowner I can say I really appreciate it when an applicant takes the time to read my whole profile and learn something about my pet.
As you cannot share a link to your listing in this post, do share a link to your listing on your forum profile for a bit of extra exposure. But the main website is where ALL our members will see your opportunity and be able to apply and message with you.
If at any time you need any help don’t hesitate to reach out to our community here which is full of helpful members who have been through the process themselves and will happily give advice and guidance. And don’t forget our membership support team are always on hand to give assistance.
All the very best,
Kelly & the Forum Team
