User reviews

Functionality and responses on app are not always

We’ve now been using THS for four months, and have heard from several of our sitters that they do not always receive the messages I send, and often times it’s hard to know if I’m getting through when inviting a sitter. It feels like it’s an issue with functionality on the app?

3 weeks waiting for id check and no help online just an AI bot. Waste of money and time

They won’t remove horrible sitters that harm your pets

I had the worst experience with a sitter and when I listed the many issues I had including bringing a dog without telling me for sitting our cats they refused to remove the sitter from their platform. We had major damage to our home as well. I would avoid this service at all costs

App authentication

Having to wait for an email code to authenticate log in to the app is a pain, and ruins the user experience. Email with code can take up to 2 minutes

Misleading No Value

I downloaded and paid the yearly subscription to connect with house sitters. App will show you sitters in your area but many are no longer doing it or active. I cannot think of a product or service I have ever paid for that was more of a waste of money than this app. So much so they should be removed from the App Store.

FAQ

What does the TrustedHousesitters app do?

The app connects pet owners with verified sitters who provide in-home pet care in exchange for a place to stay during their travels. Pet owners can find sitters for their cats, dogs, and other pets, ensuring peace of mind while they are away. Sitters can discover global opportunities to care for pets and explore new locations.

How does the pet sitting exchange work without money?

The core principle is trust and a swap of services. Pet owners offer their home and the company of their pets as accommodation for sitters. In return, sitters provide loving care for the pets. This model ensures that sitters are motivated by a genuine passion for animals, not just financial gain.

What are the costs associated with using TrustedHousesitters?

While no money changes hands between pet owners and sitters for the service itself, both parties need to choose a membership plan to gain access to the platform's features. These plans offer a year of unlimited access to arrange house sits or find sitters.

What kind of pets can be cared for through the app?

The app facilitates care for a wide variety of pets, including cats and dogs. Users can find sitters experienced with different types of animals, and the platform mentions opportunities for sitting with animals like alpacas and goldfish, indicating a broad scope of pet care.

What benefits do pet owners receive?

Pet owners benefit from having their pets cared for in their own familiar environment, which is generally less stressful for animals. They gain peace of mind knowing their pets are looked after by verified and experienced sitters. Additional benefits include a 24/7 vet advice line and a home and contents plan for added security.
