@Jenny Is the competition for pet parents only ? Many sitters don’t have pets of their own ? Can we submit photos of pets we have cared for on THS ?

Hi @Silversitters

As @Gabba mentioned, the post confirms that you don’t have to be a pet owner, just be sure to get permission of the pet parent before you enter.

I’ve italicised that line so that it stands out, as I know it can sometimes be easy to skim read through longer posts!

Thanks for answering that one, @gabba! :slight_smile:

I don’t know how to add a picture of my boys Forrest and Rupert but one of the admins added their pictures to my listing before so if they see this can you help me add it please. Hopefully you know the ones I’m talking about (they’re smiling in the grass :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:)

Hello @Alreschx

Yes I do remember the photos of your gorgeous doggies and I certainly think they made our members smile. :slightly_smiling_face:

Unfortunately we cannot add your photo this time for the competition as it is not uploading it to a post on the Forum as we did before. You will need to click on the link as directed in the post which will take you to the blog and this will then explain how to enter and submit your photo/s.

If you or any other members are having issues with your photos uploading then please check the following;

  • Please check photos are 2MB or lower.
  • Try a different file type (JPEG, PNG etc.)
  • Check there are no blockers on your browser preventing media upload.

I hope this helps and you are able to submit your photo/s but if you have any further issues or questions then please don’t hesitate to ask :blush:

Out of curiosity… In the paragraph on membership prizes it says “unlimited sits“. Is this not normally a thing anymore? Has something changed? This makes it sound like a special membership perk. Just wondering as that survey was trying to get people to vote on membership plans that had sit limits.

Is there a way to view the entries? Or just the judges see them for now.

Hi @ABGM

I just wanted to reassure you that nothing’s changed - I think the wording is used to hype up the benefits of being a member.

If you want to discuss this in any more detail it’d be best to drop a line to Membership Services by emailing support@trustedhousesitters.com, but absolutely nothing has changed. :slight_smile:

Hi @innkeeperva

It’s only the judges that can see the entries for now - but we’ll let you know when the winners are chosen and share those :slight_smile:

Jenny

An update for you @innkeeperva - it looks like some of the contenders are being shared in an online article!

Have a peek here if you’re interested :slight_smile:

I’ve seen a a post of some of the first entrants on the THS Instagram page also @innkeeperva
