Sometimes, homeowners can be wary, especially if they have had a bad experience in the past. Some house sitters may not have spent as much time with the animals as they said they would, and they may even have left them overnight. They might want you to stay in touch with them throughout their vacation or trip so they can feel confident that everything is in order back home.
How Can You Make Sure You Get Glowing Reviews and Testimonials?
Once you have completed your first house sitting job, you will begin building your portfolio of reviews and testimonials. You can make sure they are glowing by always following the homeowner’s instructions and taking good care of their beloved pets.

Keeping the house clean and restocking anything you use up, and being considerate for the homeowner’s return will also help you to get a great review when it’s all said and done. For example, washing their sheets and buying another pack of toilet paper/jar of coffee if they are running low.
Conclusion
Once you get your first assignment, you’re on your way. Even a single genuine positive testimonial has a big impact on ensuring that future homeowners will choose you. House sitting is such a rewarding activity in that it allows me to travel more, live like a local and enjoy pet ownership for a short moment in time. I’ve truly loved all the pets that have been in my care and sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye, but I know that there is always next year.
