I will add a negative review - from a potential host's point of view. Trusted Housesitters has a 14-day guarantee. We signed up, paid the fee, and listed a property within the period. We immediately got a potential sitter, but before we "accepted" the offer, he withdrew because he got a better offer off-platform. After that, we got a few more applications but none were serious. One person withdrew when she realized that the service wasn't going to pay her. Another just never responded to our messages on the platform. And so forth. When I contacted Trusted Housesitters for a refund, it turns out I was TOO patient. They refused to refund my money because I hadn't given up on them quickly enough. You have to decide if you're "in" within the 14 days. After that, even if you get no serious applicants, Trusted Housesitters keeps your money and you have to deal with your petsitting needs another way. I strongly recommend that people stay away from this service unless you have a primo house and location that will attract lots of sitters, and money to burn just in case the few that are around aren't interested.
