Getting Excited

Thanks Amy - makes sense, to be honest the point of this for us is to get to spend some extended time with animals as we don't have space at home and very much miss having pets. This is the case for other people I know who do this sort of thing (though they, like us, do it unofficially for friends rather than through an official site) so I'm sure you won't struggle to find someone with the right mindset if you decide to take the leap. I'm working from the position that presumably everyone on the site loves animals so I just wondered if the property side would be seen as an additional asset in a sitter.
I don't want to derail Nicksgirl's thread but thanks both for the views

I've looked into this a few times but so far have struggled to persuade my OH to let them stay at our house. He's fine for pet sitters to come in 2x a day but he feels them 'living' in our house is different. I can see where he is coming from but it doesn't bother me as much!
For me looking for someone - I would be actively looking for someone who has worked / volunteered at a really decent small animal rescue or has copious experience themselves through their own pets. I have 5 rescue rabbits (one is a free range house bunny) and 2 rescue guinea pigs and am acutely aware that most pet sitters who cover dogs and cats tend to think they can just chuck the food in and leave them to it when it comes to small animals. Consequently I find it hard to find and trust sitters!

Hi, sorry I’ve only just seen your reply.
Yes you sort of put an advert for your sit, so dates, information about the location, photos of pets, house (internal) etc, whatever you think will attract a sitter. I don’t think you need to be in a tourist hotspot, we are in rural Norfolk but not in a tourist area. You can also look at sitters profiles and approach them but fortunately we didn’t need to do that.

Yes your reviews and information from the cat charity would definitely make me feel more comfortable. Everyone will start as a new sitter on the site so I wouldn’t let that put you off. Also you may find people more willing to use you for shorter sits to enable you to build your profile.
