100 % with you on that. I will never sit for anyone who thinks that they have the right to film me.

I don’t routinely check my ring doorbell. It set to ping only if someone comes to the door and rings bell. Everything else is a big whatever if someone in the house caretaking. I also give them access.
That being said…,I might contact my sitter if I saw a big old critter…… WTF ACTIVITY on Instagram: "Thank God Australia is surrounded by water (Via: @TerrifyingFlix)"
( ps- 
… while solely a HO now- I did a year long house sit in Marybyrnong (Melbourne) about 25 years ago with 50 courtyard pot plants and lot of very large furry garden spydas… it was super fun, loved caring for home and plants and GREAT experience.)

We have sat multiple times for a home with multiple outdoor cameras but the HO’s gave us access to the app so we can see what they can see.
This seems like a reasonable request from sitters to HO’s.
We had to be careful bc our conversations outside were also being recorded and these people are the type to listen in.
Not that we have things to hide but discussions, conversations, especially between my husband and I can include private and personal matters, of course. So, we had to be mindful of this at all times, which could get exhausting.
Just the same, getting access to the cameras felt better than not.
@Halifax23 it’s not the furry spiders you have to worry about here in Australia, it’s the drop bears!

@Crookie - yep! That’s why every good Aussie carries an emergency jar of Vegemite around

I had to google “drop bear” but I was glad to get the vegemite part.
