Reviews are a lovely way to reward both house sitters and homeowners following a house sit.
Reviews appear on a sitter’s profile adding credibility, helping to build trust and can also help to secure future house sits. Reviews for homeowners are published on their future house ads and help inform sitters of how previous sitters found the experience, and whether the house sit is right for them.
Once you have completed a house sit with Aussie House Sitters, you are able to send and receive a review that includes a star rating. The sitters review will be added to any future ads the homeowner posts. The homeowners review will be displayed on the house sitters profile.
Please note - our new reviews process is 'blind'. Members can’t see the others review until they have both been submitted OR until the 14-day deadline has been reached. This is a common peer-review protocol to make reviews more honest, giving them more credibility which in turn helps build trust and confidence in our house sitting community.
You now have 14 days from the end of the house sit to submit your review. This will help to ensure reviews are submitted promptly. Please note, if you miss this deadline you are not able to submit a review.
To build trust in our house sitting community and to encourage honest feedback, Aussie House Sitters has certain rules in regards to reviews.
TAKE CARE: Once published, reviews and responses cannot be edited or deleted.
RESPONSES: You can publish one response to any review you receive within 3 weeks of its creation.
FEATURED REVIEW: Sitters can choose one of their reviews as their "featured review". This review will display on your search page listing. The chosen featured review will also display first in the reviews on both the sitters profile and the homeowners ad.
MUST CONFIRM FIRST: To be able to leave a review, you must first confirm your sit within your 'My Confirmed Sits' page.
PRIVACY: When published, a review will appear with only the reviewer's first name and suburb listed. Please do not put any personal or identifying information within the review as this is a breach of our Terms & Conditions.
As always, we strive to keep our members’ best interests at heart and our new reviews system was designed to help create a safer, fairer, and more equal platform for everyone.
In implementing a more open review system, our goal is to remain Australia’s most trusted house and pet sitting community.
It has been great to belong to Aussie Housesitters on and off over the last 2 to 3 years. We've ranged from south east Queensland to southern Victoria and stayed mostly on rural properties. As a retired city dweller I've learned some very handy farming and animal husbandry skills along the way. In all that time each house sit dovetailed neatly with the next barring two occasions where a 5 day break in a caravan park was a welcome change. By arrangement we even managed to mind one owner's dogs for a second round at another owner's home. We miss most of our doggy pets so decided to acquire two "rescue" dogs of our own. The final housesit at Grassmere Victoria was exceptional for many reasons. We've also "belonged" to some wonderful churches along the way. We've met some great people and made some life long friends in the process and are grateful to Aussie House Sitters for an unforgettable three years. Frank and Anna
