Recently joined, and looking forward to using our retirement (50’s) for UK pet sitting for some wonderful dogs and wonderful owners.

No work means no time restrictions.

A new adventure in our lives.

Hello @Hallt64 and a warm welcome to TrustedHousesitters and to the Community Forum

You can also add your TrustedHousesitters profile on to your profile on here by following the attached link, should you wish. This will then enable others to offer you helpful advice and feedback.

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…

If you are unsure how to do this or if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are all more than happy to help.

I have attached a thread that you should find helpful.

New sitter member how do we help the owner prepare for our sit?

Hello all, Me and my fiance just joined THS and got out first sit confirmed this morning. The HO has asked what can they prepare for our arrival? I’m not sure what to say really as we don’t know what is the basic expectations from sitters? I’m assuming fresh bed sheets, clean bathroom, clear instructions for house care and alarm system, etc. Is there a list of basic requirements you all use?

Thanks, I will when my profile is live, not sure what I have to do to complete it. It’s currently at 94% complete. Only things I haven’t done yet are references. Are they mandatory?

Hi @Hallt64. Welcome to TrustedHousesitters and our friendly little community here in the forum. References aren’t required. It may just be a processing delay within our system. How long ago did you set up your account?

[Hallt64]

It was only yesterday evening, I did think that maybe my profile had to be Admin approved, which is understandable. Thanks for taking the time to reply Karen

HI @Hallt64 there has been an update regarding references, as they contribute greatly to new member success they are now required.

New sitter members will need to apply for a reference before their profile will go live.

Once applied for your profile will go live and the editing page on your dashboard will show:
Your References - Waiting to hear back from your reference.

If you need any help on this please connect with the Membership Services Team on support@trustedhousesitters.com

Thanks Angela, it wasn’t clear that references were mandatory but that’s not a problem. I’ll get this sorted as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Tony
