MindMyHouse Opiniões 

I am a house owner and feel the administration should advise sitters to review the contract form first. Get many many applicants and fed up with the number of professionals who want travelling money, will not pay running costs etc. On future will do the normal rent my property for 1500 per month and pay 500 to kennel my dogs. Or admin should vet clients first

I am a MindMyHouse member since the start in 2008.
As a sitter I have done many assignments all over the world in the past without any problems and made many new friends while taking care of their home and pets.
I have read some of positive but also negative reviews and would like to express my opinion about MMH.
The membership fee of $20 a year is very reasonable compared to other similar communities. The chances of getting a reply from a house owner is mostly dependent on your own actions, the skills you can bring to the table and references. You have to be quick to respond; make sure you have the e-mail alert activated and read them everyday. In case of interest, start writing immediately. Make your interest letter as inviting as possible; keep some template letters in your draft-file, but make sure you put in some up to date personal information and reason of interest.
Think of what the house owner wants to hear, what he/she is looking for and how you would take care of these expectations. Make your skills a very important part of your e-mail! You have to stand out from the crowd!! To my experience, a very short and quick response in which you refer to your MMH profile, does NOT work!!! My professional dog breeding/training skills and experience with horses have been the greatest asset in getting a positive reply. So, if you have similar skills, use them. It is also very important to mention your references.
Finally, try to read between the lines while going through the adverts;
is the house owner looking for a free cleaner/gardener/dogwalker/contractor or does he/she realize that MMH is a community that should work equally for both sides.

Used the site twice so far and on both occasions I had around 6 enquiries and was able to select suitable sitters.

Great agency, very helpful, we had some amazing applicants for our house sitting position !!

If we can have secure options for making payments online (via debit or credit cards), then it would be a 5 star experience. But having issues with renewal is highly problematic.

Update: I have heard back from MindMyHouse twice to hear them reiterate the system is secure. However, they have ignored the screenshots which clearly state "Your connection to this site is unsecure." By not what was sent, several times, this problem is simply exaggerated. I am sorry that this otherwise great relationship would end for a technical glitch they were either unable or unwilling to fix.

Easy site to use and we have used it in the past and currently have sitters in our home in Cyprus through the site. Please can you inform me how to set up an e Mail alert for sitting as I am both owners and sitters
Thanks

Mind my house
I think its a great site for people wanting sitters, however for the sitter it is not that great.
I have sent numerous applications and people wanting sitters never respond.
I would appreciate some response, suitable or unsuitable.
Please advise your clients to respond to applicants.

The website have a very attractive modern design. But there is no chance to see the content before paying a yearly fee of USD 20.
Among some nice opportunity the website is full of crap posting from B&B etc....
I would have designed the businness in a different way...more like AirB&B where you pay a small commission only in case you apply for a housesitting...
