Hi @Jackson Welcome to THS and the forum

I can give you advices from a sitter’s perspective, so feel free to ask anytime. There plenty of genuine and pet loving sitters here so I hope you’ll find the one that suits you

Hi @Jackson - Welcome to the group. As many sitters use public transport to get around you could be reducing the number of sitters that will apply by saying ‘sitters need a car’

I am wondering why they need a car when you also say -

“5 mins walking distance to Co-Op, local pub/restaurant and also our vet practice
Woking town centre 20 minute walking distance, Train station 30 mins walking distance”.

Ahh very true, I don’t even drive myself and can walk everywhere. Thank You!

Hi Matt,
Jackson looks very sweet. There’s a nice photo of him enjoying a countryside walk somewhere - maybe you could mention places locally that might be nice to take him to, out in the countryside or local parks, and dog-friendly cafes or pubs? And although I’m in the UK I don’t know your area at all, so maybe some suggestions of local attractions ?
Cheers, Ally

[Jackson]

Great Idea thanks, I’ll do that!

Hi @Jackson (Matt), I’d change the order of your photos - start with a picture of Jackson rather than one of your TV!

[Samox24]

Yes I completely agree with you. A photo of Jackson would be much better for the first photo you see on the listing.
Also, more importantly @Jackson welcome to the TrustedHousesitters forum
