Well thank you to all who have given me such great suggestions, looks like I need to learn a lot more techy stuff and do this URL thing. It’s really easy having my pdf with reviews from ALL sites to be able to attach to an application but I can’t do that on TH so I will now start working on all your much appreciated suggestions.
@CoolCatAunt I tried using Instagram but got out. Just another techy thing for me to learn and stress over lol But great idea for those wanting to do what I am after, thank you
@temba that’s a great idea I do like to have my reviews on the site from where I acquired the sit though but maybe this would work also, asking the HO to do one on both sites. Not sure a lot of my HO’s here would have been up for it though, no harm in asking though
@Knowmad it is only 1pm here at present and these suggestions all came through late evening last night. I had five acres to mow this morning so I haven’t had a chance to look at doing it yet. I have to be really focused to do techy things lol Will definitely let you know once I try, thanks
@ziggy That’s what I’ve done and they’ve done a review for both sites, sometimes just copying and pasting and other times it’s been a different review.
We keep a house-sitting web page and copy all of our reviews there. In our profile and application letter we invite HOs to check those out. That way, none of our reviews are at risk of being lost due to us leaving a platform or a problem with a platform. Many others do this as well.
@lifephasenext I struggle to figure out simple techy things, a website for me would be like overwhelming. I wish I COULD do half the things others do but I am slowly learning and I get by.
But I’m pleased this works so well for you and others and I just may start trying some of these things that scare me lol I guess your website would be a similar thing to how I currently keep a pdf file of all sits but that won’t help prospective HO’s, I still need to attach and send separately. Thanks for your input and I will look into this. Oh, coincidentally, I was only reading your ad this morning for a housesitter/s when going through the availability list!
We have a blog and have added a review page, I transfer all our reviews from different sources here then add a link to this page on all our THS applications.
I find that Aussie House Sitters has given me more opportunities as I live in Australia and prefer to do family sits.
I was a bit worried about my THS membership expiring but I managed to score some great sits using Aussie House Sitters and all the homeowners seem to understand cleanliness and tidiness.
I have a 5 star rating.
