Use reputable companies

Find a company that has the reputation of having credible Sydney house sitters. Such a company would offer favorable terms that enable many clients to come back to it. The ads you place there should get the right number of responses from potential sitters. Apart from the service, the company should vet the sitters that sign up with them. This way, you can be sure that you are not welcoming criminal elements into your home.  Find out from reviews the type of services others have received. You should also check for any complaints with relevant consumer bureaus. Engaging with the right company should start you off in the right direction of getting the best sitter.

Do your personal vetting

Vet a few sitters before picking the right one. You should ensure you are clear in your ad so that you get only suitable sitters responding. The ad should clearly state what you are looking for and whether you require any special tasks done. If you have plants or other objects in the house that require special attention, you want someone who will be able to carry this out. Someone who loves tending plants, for example, will see that they carry out the plant care with the right degree of attention. You would also want someone who cares for dogs or whichever pet you have taking care of it than someone who will do it just as task.

Pick the closest fit possible

From the sitters you vet, pick the one you feel is close to what you are looking for. You may not get a perfect match, but you should be able to find someone close to this. Such should show concern for any special requirements you have for the job. If you do not have any pets or other items that require attention, then you will not need intense scrutiny. Pets require someone who will love them and will not be neglectful or abusive to them. By finding a sitter with same passion for animals as you, you can be sure that your pet will remain in good hands.

Try to retain one sitter

Where possible, get one sitter for every time you are away. Such an arrangement is to your advantage as you will have someone familiar with your requirements. You do not need to train another house sitter for any special tasks. You have less worry as you are familiar with the person and the type of services he or she provides. Retain the house sitter that provides satisfactory services all the time.
