Worst scenarios and what did or could someone new learn?

Hi and welcome!

THS can open a world of new experiences, relationships and adventures to you. By and large these will be positive. To avoid pitfalls, it comes down to being prepared. Read all the literature THS provides to you as a new member. Read the many topics here on the forum.
I assume you have joined as a sitter? It’s so much fun! Develop a list of questions to ask a prospective homeowner (HO). Read reviews and feedback, evaluate photos that are posted and trust your gut. At the beginning it is nice if you start local and meet the HO and pet(s) ahead of time to decide if you are right for each other. Here on the forum, use the spy glass at the top to search for topics you are interested in. Topics that may be of interest based on your original question are

List of questions from sitters to owners

Red Flags?

But peruse as much of the forum as you can. You will read about others’ good and not so good experiences, how different situations were handled, you’ll read advice, criticism … the gamut.

Enjoy!
