Hello! I am Steffany from Montréal, Canada and am new. I was referred to TrustedHousesitters by a very close friend who experienced it and really enjoyed each of her sits. I was told that it is also possible to just house sit, if so how to get to it? This forum is very much appreciated, a great …

When using the app, put Anywhere in Find a Sit. It shows 7185 right now. Then click on Sort and Filter, then No Pets, and there are only 4 live listings @carpediem16 !

@carpediem16 You can see these numbers on the App. Find a Sit :mag: [IMG_3268]

ohhhh, cool! I don’t use the app much to search for sits (only to follow up on application status, etc) as I’m usually checking from my laptop. Thanks! I had never noticed that before.

Yes, we have had a house sit with no pets but they are very rare. And to be honest I was bored out my tiny little mind.

One less now. I reported a listing on THS because they wanted someone to fix up their deceased mother’s house so they could sell it in the summer, including handling viewings and making flower arrangements beforehand. Are they out of their minds? Unbelievable what some people expect.

Hi @Steffany , Welcome to the wonderful world of house & petsitting.

Hello, thanks for your e-mail, I really appreciate your open mindedness and positivity. Thank you for your welcome.

My last sit was for a cat that had been feral, so it did all its business outside, no litter box to clean. And it had a cat door, so I didn’t even have to let it out and in. I just had to make sure it had water and food. Almost like no pet.

I am new and confused

Have a look at the thread I posted about ‘Too soon, Xmas bookings?’ We’ve got two confirmed sits in Jersey Channel Islands for May and December 2025 and will probably be looking at March/April for 2/3 sits in Perth Australia 2026.
