Hi there, Hoping you can help me. Thank you for letting me join this forum. I recently joined Trusted House sitters and and have created my listing but have had no enquiries. Just wondering if it was worth joining? Is there a list of pet sitters that I could contact? Thanks (Listing has been add…

Ok, I found your listing by scrolling through “Barnard Castle” listings. I have no doubt you’ll find an excellent sitter in time, as your dates are more than six months away. Your listing looks fabulous, and as a sitter I appreciate so many things about your home, your sweet dog, and your area. Very…

Be patient and check your listing daily to insure you don’t miss any applications. You’re more than 8 months out from your trip. That’s fine but only a few sitters are scheduling that far out. Your listing looks fine but I would work on the pictures. Pick up the room before snapping shots. Y…

I think as you’re not the “super popular”-category (big cities, cats, can be left for whole day), it matters that your dates are far in the future.

Thank you all for the feedback. Its been really helpful for someone new to this.
