Looking for link to Sitters Guide

[Skysea]

Hello! Could someone kindly share the to the Sitters guide please? I found the Welcome Guide for the home owner, now would like to create my Sitters guide in time for my first international sit. Thank you!

Go to your THS page, click on desktop, scroll down to “My Upcoming House Sits”.
Click on “request Welcome Guide”.

Hope that helps, if not message me.

Not sure what you mean by “Sitter’s Guide”. There’s no place on THS for a sitter to create anything like that. We just have access to the Welcome Guide created by the homeowner.

Have I misunderstood the question?

Hi @Pamela

What I am looking for is a “Sitters Guide” please, to assist the sitter with questions in the Interview with the home owner, not the Welcome Guide that’s prepared by the home owner.

thanks,

Vivienne

Hi @Skysea,

I think this could help 10 Questions you need to ask before taking a pet sitting job

You might also find this thread helpful.

I hope this helps!

Hello @Skysea and welcome to the forum. Good to hear you have your first international house sit organised … where are you headed?

Kelly has shared some good articles with you, and I’m just going to add this post from the forum that guides you to various places within the community here and on the website, should you need to find more information in preparation for your sit.

Where to find information about house sitting with TrustedHousesitters

With more and more people arriving here in the forum to find out about house sitting, we thought we’d share some links for some of the best information to help get you started. Of course the ultimate place (we are biased yes!) is to ask our members here in the forum. We just hit the milestone of 100,000 members so that’s a lot of knowledge to tap into! Take a quick look around the forum and you’ll see what I mean! How to search for information on the forum It’s really quite easy. You’ll notic…

You’ll find links to the blog and “desk pages” where there’s all sorts of information to help and guide you.

Have you been doing local sits too or is your first international sit your first ever?

Hi @Skysea

Just jumping in as I think this might be the page you are referring to -

House and pet sitting: sitter guidelines

However if not, I am sure you will find what you are looking for in the links Vanessa and Kelly have kindly shared above.

All the best

The homeowner creates a welcome guide with their expectations. Is there a sitters before arrival guide where the sitter can address a few thinks - like requesting refrigerator space, cupboard space, be sure clean sheets and clean towels are available, other expectations, like access to a printer, use of a desk etc.?

[Silversitters]

@inthemoment There is no sitters guide or form to complete ….but requesting that they leave us some refrigerator & cupboard space it is something that we discuss with the homeowner either in our video chat or by WhatsApp.

It’s not required that a host would have a printer for you to use. So if that is essential for you - before committing to a sit you should discuss if the host has one and if it will be possible for you to use it - consider offering to pay for the paper and ink if you will be using it extensively. If they can’t provide this you will know not to accept the sit.
