Great topic @sharondc
Here are some of the things that I wish I had known when I started with THS.
THS doesn’t share the address of the host with the sitter . It’s not always included in the Welcome Guide . Sitter has to ask the owner for their address - do this asap.
The T&Cs say that a sitter should pay an emergency vet fees incurred on a sit upfront and also any for any emergency repair work .https://forum.trustedhousesitters.com/t/sitter-has-to-pay-veterinary-expenses-up-front
Something for owners and sitters to discuss - before confirming a sit - to ensure that the owner doesn’t expect this of the sitter and has other arrangements in place for paying for these if they should arise .
