An example
homesit
1.You tell us your requirements; dates, duration, situation, special responsibilities etc.
To ensure that we have a full brief, your administrator will ask about your home (age, size, facilities, location, etc.) and will discuss security considerations and domestic and gardening duties. She/he will also want details of anyone else with access to your property in your absence.
If you have pets to be cared for, she/he will take details of their breed, age, temperament, state of health, any medication, sleeping arrangements, diet, exercise and grooming routine. Similarly, should you have livestock to be cared for, a careful brief will be taken on the duties and responsibilities involved.
Your administrator will discuss your preferences in a Homesitter e.g. male/female/couple, with own car, happy to have pets on the bed. All Homesitters are non-smokers, without accompanying pets.
2.We then select the nearest Homesitter to you who most aptly suits your requirements. Our service is nationwide and we have employees in all areas.
3.We contact you with details of the Homesitter and put you in touch with him/her.
At this stage, most clients like to meet their Homesitter, which we encourage. We ask you to reimburse the Homesitter’s travel expenses for
this visit.
4.When you have told us that the Homesitter is suitable, we send you a booking confirmation.
5.The Homesitter arrives at the specified time; goes through our checklists with you (if not already covered on the initial visit) and receives a final briefing.
6.You set off on your trip secure in the knowledge that your home, possessions and pets are being carefully looked after while you
are away.
We keep in touch with our Homesitters whilst on assignment and provide them with 24 hour telephone support.
7.When you return, the Homesitter has your home ready to welcome you.
He/she reports to you anything that has occurred during your absence, and accounts for any expenditure.
8.Your homesit ends and our Homesitter leaves at a time convenient to you both.
