About
How to Be a Great Pet Sitter is designed for anyone starting out on pet sitting platforms who wants to stand out, get selected, and be invited back. Drawing on my experience as a 5-star sitter with TrustedHousesitters, this course covers everything from creating a strong profile and writing effective introduction letters, to communicating with owners, running video chats, and building trust through consistent updates. You’ll learn practical tips for caring for pets responsibly, respecting people’s homes, planning for contingencies, and ensuring safety on walks and outings. Most importantly, the course highlights that pet sitting is about companionship and presence- not just accommodation. With real examples, templates, and reflective activities, you’ll gain the confidence to provide excellent care, leave a great impression, and enjoy meaningful experiences around the world!
