As part of our industry-leading Trust & Safety features sitters registered with TrustedHousesitters have the option to complete three levels of verification. A sitter’s verification level can be easily identified by the Trust Badge that appears above the heading on their house sitter profile and below their profile picture in relevant search results.

You can hover your cursor over a Trust Badge to activate a tooltip which gives full details of the achieved level. The issue date of the criminal background check which is required to achieve the Enhanced Trust Badge can be viewed on the left hand side of the sitter’s profile in the verifications module. 

Our new industry-leading trust and safety features are designed to help sitters demonstrate that they are a trusted house and pet sitter, however we encourage owners to take the time to talk to a sitter to determine their suitability and contact any references provided prior to confirming any arrangements.
