Incredible Platform

Once I discovered Trusted House Sitters app it offered me the opportunity to firstly support and do good for people who once doubted the ability to trust easily. This app has created a way for owners to feel safe having people like myself to take care of their homes and animals. It also teaches us to expand responsibility when taking care on animal family members which is therapeutic for the soul. I’m truly grateful for this app as it’s allowing me to travel more also. Honestly an incredible platform that is growing daily. I highly recommend it. I personally absolutely love it. 🤗🫶🏼🤗

Where's the trust?

Brilliant idea for what could be a great community. Works well until you encounter people who fail to abide by the golden rule. In good faith, you give them a great review despite the things on which they failed, but they give you a poor review for things they made up in their head. Enormous potential, Leadership needs to step up and create the culture it wants for the future or this ultimately will crumble as a

Site is terribly clunky and confusing

Definitely this site was designed by the C team. It’s time consuming not intuitive and hard to navigate and make changes.

Good service

Good app with good quality sitters.

Don’t recommend

This is an app with no live people that you can speak to and no way to resolve disputes. Best you will get is a generic AI chat bot that gives generic answers. Wasn’t impressed with the service and had not used it in a year. Didn’t realize they auto renew. After seeing the charge on the credit card I tried to cancel and receive a pro-rata refund. But, unless you cancel the one year renewal within 14 days of auto renewal (less than 4% of the way through the subscription) you are stuck paying the whole year. Also- note that they offer a large discount to keep you when you turn off auto renewal so even if you want to use the service, go to cancel and you will get a much better deal. I will not use or recommend them after the hassle of trying to work through this issue that most companies would assist you with. Zero customer support.

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.
