House/pet sitting

Anyone experience of doing this?
Who’s best to sign up with, if anybody?

We're signed up with Trusted Housesitters - have a look let me know if you consider and we can both get something if we refer you. Had some good sits, there are lots to choose from, and some not so good ones, you learn to discriminate with experience. They are quite supportive. Let me know if you want to know more.

£89 sounds a lot? Is it worth it?
Are there others that are better value?

We have yet to pay full price. I suppose it depends how much you are going to use it. You can look at the sits without joining up to see if they appeal. You have to apply for sits and the host then chooses from amongst the applicants. The site was recommended to us and we have used it as pet owners and now as pet sitters. No real complaints so far, some sits have been better than others, we haven’t tried anyone else! If we refer you, you get 20% off. Any specific questions do ask.

Hi,
We have been House sitting for 9-10 years in the UK, Europe and even Mexico.
We use mindmyhouse.com and have had mainly good places.
We always check we can get our Hymer S670 parked somewhere.
Also we usually would only sit a maximum of 2 dogs and won't take a sit if the dogs are expected to sleep in your room!
Good luck
