Great way to travel

Update: HELP—In saved searches, ie., my search “Winter 2 weeks+,” I could start to scroll down the listings and immediately the map feature button would pop up below so I could look at where in the world those listings were rather than scroll through every single listing. Now the map button is nowhere to be found. I just updated the app too, to no avail😩 Help!!

I’ve been on THS 2 years now both as a sitter and as a pet owner. We have met so many wonderful people and pets, and traveled to some great places. Til now the app has been really fabulous- recently however its been acting a little glitchy, and I’ve had to use the web, which is more time consuming and different to use than what I’m used to. I hope the developers can figure out a way to make the needed security updates while still allowing users of slightly older phones to use the app(??) Thanks!

fire your IT people

Don't update! Now you can't see it on the map🤬🤬🤬

Very disappointing service

After many years paying an expensive subscription to Trusted Housesitters I am not able to access my account as I am not receiving the verification code to log in. Despite numerous contacts with this org to seek assistance I have had ZERO assistance and no effort at their end. I asked for my money back as I cannot access my account and they outright refused.
On top of being locked out of my account, my last housesitting was a disaster. DO NOT WASTE UOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY!

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

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.
