Your sitter profile is your chance to show yourself off, whether your new to sitting or a seasoned sitter. Think of unique skills you have up your sleeve and tell us about the furry friends you've previously looked after.

Our pet parent members will be entrusting you with their most prized possessions and beloved pets so they'll want to know you as a person. Keep this in mind while writing your sitter profile: What makes you different from all the other sitters within TrustedHousesitters? Are you calm and collective? Do you love hiking? Are you experienced with elderly pets?

Your references are also something all pet parents look out for, if you have looked after any pets or homes previously, nows your time to dig out those contacts and ask them to write you an honest reference. 

Pictures of you (with pets) is a biggie; it goes without saying that pet parents want to know that you're just as pet-fanatic as they are. Pick friendly, welcoming photos that show off your love of pets. While we're on the topic, take a look at our blog on social media etiquette for sitters for all the do's and don'ts when it comes to sharing your photos online. 

We have lots of helpful tips on creating your profile over on our blog. Here are a few handy posts to help get you started:
