Hi Jackie, when I am saying “way cleaner” I am refering to dirty houses like I’ve mentionned in this post: Dirty houses - #54 by Alohana.
It’s actually a kind and generous gesture to clean for free, especially at arrival. Even though some people can be offended and even ungrateful, I am never going to be apologetic because I couldn’t live in dirt myself. It’s normally the HO’s duty to make sure that their home is clean under normal standards prior receiving a sitter!
Just a reminder:
Owner Cleanliness Checklist | TrustedHousesitters.com : all of our members are expected to provide good levels of cleanliness
Sitter Cleanliness Checklist | TrustedHousesitters.com : all of our members are expected to maintain tip-top levels of cleanliness while on a sit, and the owners you’re sitting for will appreciate the extra care and attention you’ve made to ensure they return to […] a clean, tidy home.
