This Christmas holiday season I left Switzerland and travelled to the US to visit my family. Several friends recommended Trusted Housesitters to me and I finally tried it myself and it turned out to the perfect solution for my 2-week trip away from my cats.
How Trusted Housesitters Works:
Both users must pay for an annual membership to the site. This means all users are serious about their intentions and also passionate about pets. There are many advanced features of the site that work similar to Airbnb including reviews, references and verifications. The website and app are easy to use and extremely detailed.
What makes this site unique is it connects people who want to travel and can take care of your pets with those needing pet sitters. No money is exchanged through its users.
Use this link and you will get 25% off your membership. I paid for an annual membership which gives you all access to the site to connect with sitters. There are no additional fees and you can connect and book as many sitters as needed.
The site offers additional features such as access to 24/7 vet advice line, insurance, membership services and a money back guarentee.
In the past when I travel I have either had a friend or a pet-sitter come to my home twice a day to feed and care for the cats. But for extended stays, having someone stay full time in my home to care for the cats brought me such peace of mind.
After posting the dates for my trip, I received 5 applications from pet-sitters within the first day. The first person I interviewed turned out to be a perfect match. She was perfect and sent me daily updates while I was gone. You have full control and can interview as many people as you want until you make your choice.
I am thrilled with my first experience and will definitely use again for my next travels. Use this link and you will get 25% off your membership.
