We just confirmed our first international sit as a family!

I’m sorry gang. I’m so excited that I didn’t know where to share this. I had a video chat tonight with a wife and husband in Singapore. They originally said no from my application because they thought their home was too small for our family of 5 but changed their minds and decided to do a video chat. We really didn’t think we had a chance because they were doing the same interviews with others but 10 minutes after hanging up, she said that we were the right fit. OMG!!! I started applying 5 months ago on THS not really sure if people would accept a big family and now we’ve booked our first international sit! Unreal. The icing on the cake is that it is in a prime location and I didn’t even know it. River valley and Orchard she said but I was unaware where that was but saw some YouTube videos. Two adorable kitties takes it over the top.

@botvot we will be there for Christmas and new years. We were trying to figure out where to go for the holidays so this worked out perfectly. Are you going there to petsit as well? If so have fun!

Congratulations @IHeartAnimals on confirming your first international sit. It sounds fantastic! We haven’t applied for any overseas sits yet. I’m hoping we can do some next summer. We have filled every school holiday this year with UK sits, including some repeat sits. We love hearing about other families housesitting experiences so look forward to hearing all about your SIngapore sit.
