Creating your listing is the fun part! How can you entice sitters to want to sit for you?

Remember, sitters provide free pet care in exchange for a place to stay, so it’s important to explain why a sitter would want to visit your home. Perhaps you have a peaceful outdoor area or particularly fast WiFi. Be sure to make use of the 'Amenities' section to highlight all the features your home has to offer.

Similarly, your listing should tell sitters why they would want to spend time in your area. For example, are there any local sights they have to see or restaurants you’d recommend?

Most of our members sit to spend time with pets, so they should be the stars of your listing. As well as adding adorable photos, be sure to talk about your pet’s personality. To ensure you find someone who can properly care for your pet, please also describe their needs and any habits or issues too.

We have a few minimum requirements with regards to photos to ensure that you can attract some great sitters to apply to your dates. These include: 

•  Interior photos - 5 minimum (e.g. kitchen area, living area, bathroom, the room where the sitter will be staying, etc.)
•  Pet photos (if applicable)
