A useful review is not a marketing slogan and it is not a place to relive every annoyance. It helps the next person decide whether a match is likely to work. Describe the completed sit, use specific examples and keep personal or sensitive information out of it.
What future users need to know
- Did the other person communicate clearly before and during the sit?
- Were dates, routines and responsibilities followed as agreed?
- How were the pets and home at the end of the sit?
- Would you comfortably arrange another sit with this person?
- What practical detail would help the next match?
Be honest without becoming personal
Write about observable behaviour, not labels. 'The agreed daily update did not arrive for three days' is more useful than 'unreliable'. If a concern was resolved, say so. If there was serious misconduct or a safety issue, use the platform's reporting path as well as leaving a review where appropriate.
Reviews are one part of trust, alongside a complete profile, a meet and greet and clear written expectations. Read why house sits go wrong for the preparation that matters before a review is ever needed.
