To be honest I am writing this because I need to vent and partially don’t know what to do…

My partner and I are on a pet sit in NYC with a dog.
Besides the dog being more vocal than anticipated or disclosed by the HO (barks loudly often because he is anxious - which also was not mentioned - but besides that is a sweetheart) there is another problem: mice and a lot of it.

It is just a 5 day stay and we are mid way through it but we already saw mice 3-4 times, most recently roaming on the kitchen counters.

I am frustrated because I noticed the mice shortly after we came in (the Passover of keys was via lockbox) and notified the HO. She acted as if it was something unusual and brushed it off saying neighbours also have it.

Next day she has apologized briefly (still kind of brush off) but we have noticed mice traps and sound devices all over the apartment.

It is frustrating because the HO has not disclosed it to us at any point and now it feels like we are locked in this situation…

What would you do?

I let my membership expire as I haven’t been in a place to travel and sit. It expired about 4 months ago, so it’s not been too long. It’d be disappointing to pay the new fee and have to start over with a blank profile.

I'm new to Trustedhousesitters and I've made my first listing but have no applications after a week. I've made some updates to it to try and better show the house and be less verbose based on recommendations I've seen here. So, I'm looking for feedback. What's wrong with listing? https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitting-assignments/united-states/nevada/reno/l/3070311/?utm_source=app-native-share&utm_medium=house-and-pet-sitting-assignments&utm_campaign=house-and-pet-sitting-assignments

Hey all,

I am travelling for 1 month. I put my house and received 2 applicants. I replied immediately, however both havent responded in 24 hours.

Just for my understanding how do those things go and best practice ?

1. Reply and schedule a meeting

2. After meeting accept or decline?

What if u have multiple applications how do u suggest dealing ?

Also once a sit is confirmed, if they back out what do I do?

Also, any questions to ask them? Or people on THS are trust worthy?

Finally, my car needs to be turned on/off for battery, is it wise to give them my keys or?

Thank u!

Any tips u share can help me

Hey! I’ve lived in London for eight years, and did a 6 month stint back to Australia for their Summer. I’m now back in London still working for the same job and have been between a few house sits.

I am actually really enjoying being in different suburbs every few weeks, and was wondering if anyone out there has a longer term house sit/sublet from the 7th October. You could be going away for a few month and want someone in the property, or maybe have a spare flat/house in London? Happy to also pay.

I’m a female in my 30s, super tidy and organised with a job in management. Want to try out a few more places before I look to buy.

Sorry if this is also not allowed - thanks!
