A house-sitting platform could help homeowners describe dates, property responsibilities and any animal care involved. Sitters need enough information to decide whether an opportunity fits their availability and experience.
Profiles and references require clear descriptions of what has actually been checked. Private addresses, access codes and emergency contacts should only be shared at the appropriate stage. Requests, introductions and confirmed arrangements need distinct statuses.
Start with a limited community and test changed dates and a sitter withdrawing. Agree who provides support if an arrangement fails. The platform can help organise discovery and communication, but it should not present a profile or rating as a guarantee of suitability to care for someone's home or animals.
