Newbie and furbaby lover

Hello! I’m new to all this but also excited about joining this new community. I have 2 wonderful dogs and a purrfect cat.

Welcome!!! I’ve been enjoying my THS experiences thus far, it has taken time and a lot of work and understanding for me to do all I can to ensure a good fit for my home and my pets. Have you completed your profile and/or posted your first Housesit yet? This forum is wonderful for discussions of all types. Glad you found it. :purple_heart:

Hi and welcome! Hope you’ll find some good matches through THS! :slight_smile:

Hello and welcome.
My top tips:

  1. Read ALL the threads and take notes.
  2. Learn about what sitters are looking for in a sit.
  3. Make a list of sitter ‘Red flags’ for yourself.
  4. Create a detailed listing and learn how to link it to your profile here to get useful feedback.
  5. Many HOs believe that the system is that they search for a sitter. This is WRONG. Sitters are the ones who apply for your appealing Listing once it’s posted. It’s that way around.
  6. There are various opinions but many sitters who apply for your Listing require a video chat before agreeing to a sit if offered.

Welcome to the community @Harlow - we’re pleased to have you here! We’d love to know more about you, and your furbabies!
