Building References for Beginners

Want to know the number one thing you need for house-sitting? 

References

Just like a job, to land the house sits you need references! 

But what if you’re starting out and don’t have ANY? 

Below are some tips for building your references

1. Have you house-sat for friends or family?
   If you have, ask them for a written reference.
   
2. Use Airbnb?
   Take a screenshot of your reviews and create a house-sitting CV on a Google doc or Canva doc you can send with your applications.
   
3. Have you done any dog walking?
   
4. Have you done any charity work or community group work?
   
5. Have you owned pets in the past? Add that to your house-sitting CV
