As part of your TrustedHousesitters sitter membership, you will need to complete a free background check.

Currently, this is available for US-based members.

Background checks are designed so that you can offer pet parents extra peace of mind when applying to take care of their pets and home. They help build further trust in our community, so members feel safe, secure, and supported when connecting online with one another. 

Your completed check will be displayed on your sitter profile, and provides pet parents with that extra bit of trust and verification. 

This service is provided by Evident, a secure and accredited third party provider, so you can rest assured your details will be safe.

You can read more about the policy here.
