Hello! This is our second attempt to use Trusted Housesitters. We did not find a sitter the first time and had only one applicant who didn’t work out. After a fair amount of hesitation we’ve decided to try again. We’ve had our dates up for several weeks now and, again, ZERO applicants. We’ve worked …

Lots of animals…. that’s a pass from me. You need to think what’s in it for the Sitters, what would tempt them to take on all the work involved especially all the watering of the vegetable garden. Please maybe buy an automatic irrigation system…and maybe offer that a friend/neighbour could take on …

I think your listing is fine, but agree with @Cuttlefish mostly. (I think you could afford the extra photos of just sunflowers!) Making it “family friendly” was great as I definately see this as a great stopping off point for a family traveling around this summer. This would have been my summer drea…

The main bedroom bed is a queen. We have ordered blinds, so they are on their way. There are two other bedrooms, as well with double beds, with pictures coming soon. Thanks for your feedback on our post! -Cody

Thank you for your feedback and helpful suggestions! There is a ton to do in Wichita, and a lot of it is close enough to walk to. I found links to the museums and will include them in our description, along with some screenshots. I see what you mean about too many pictures, and plan to cull out and …

If you are lending your car, you can definitely ask sitters to provide their driver information and you can add a driver to your insurance. Just discuss it before confirming the sit. It’s also quite possible the sitter will be doing a road trip and have their own vehicle.

Candidly, you have a lot of animals. That can work if you are in a location that many people want to visit, or you offer amenities that can make the high number of pet responsibilities worth it. You are in Wichita Kansas, which, by the numbers, is not really a highly sought after tourist or visitor…

Youve been given some great tips already. The house looks cute and pets are adorable! I have suggestions to improve the photos: 1 - kitchen - very cluttered looking with stuff on all counters, stove top. Its fine if this is how you live when you’re home on the daily ( i know I do…), most sitters wa…

No advice, just I feel your pain and wish you lots of luck finding the right sitter. We have been advertising for 2 months and I have had 2 applicants who never responded to my first message and 3 who decided the sit wasn’t for them after our initial convo. I have sent invites to about 40 sitters ac…

@emily_Quantocks Remember you can remove your dates then re-post them to make your listing New again.

i have done once already, but thanks for the tip
