Good concept, but execution needs improvement

The site has potential and I've had positive experiences in the past. However, I've been searching for house and pet sitters since September, and I can honestly say that every single one of the 50+ messages I've sent has received a response stating they are either booked or unavailable, despite my efforts to check their calendars and set my location correctly. It's frustrating to receive messages like, "Lol sorry we are already booked, thanks for the reminder to update the calendar," especially when I was informed by another service that their calendars update automatically. This situation needs to be addressed.

Good concept, but poorly executed and the fees are absurd.

The idea behind the platform is sound, and I've had positive experiences in the past. However, I've been searching for someone to house and pet sit since September, and without exaggeration, every single one of the 50+ messages I've sent has been met with responses like, "We're already booked for that time" or "We're unavailable during that period or in that area," despite my efforts to check availability on their calendars and adjust my search parameters accordingly. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when I received a message saying, "Lol sorry we are already booked, thanks for this message, it reminded me to update the calendar," even after reaching out to the support team, who assured me that their calendars update automatically. One of you is not being truthful. Please address this issue.

Cancelled on with very little notice during peak season.

I was just let down with barely four weeks' notice during the Christmas season. This has completely disrupted my plans, yet there seems to be no consequences for those who cancelled or for the company. I absolutely cannot place my trust in this service.

Outstanding service.

The dog sitters I've had have consistently been excellent. They take great care of my dog and home, leaving me with no complaints.

Highly user-friendly platform.

As house sitters, we find this platform to be incredibly user-friendly. It's easy to navigate, find sits for our desired dates, and communicate with homeowners. On the rare occasions we haven’t received responses to ads, the support team always sends a message clarifying the situation. We've been using this site for over five years and couldn't be happier with the number of sits we've secured!

We recommend this platform for house sitting.

The platform is fantastic, and we've met amazing people and pets. Even with a new property, we’ll continue to house sit to assist others, enjoy the company of furry friends, and explore new places. Thank you for this service!

A fantastic experience with house sitters.

Setting up was incredibly simple, and it's a wonderful way to ensure that my home and pets are well cared for. It saves us the stress and expense of kennels, giving us peace of mind knowing they're in their own environment.
