"Hi Sue,

Wow - that is very impressive.
Do you have any tips for successfully applying for
a housesit? regards Ian"

Sue (icare88)
"Hi Ian

Well, I have actually only been 'unsuccessful' with about 5 applications.
The first I never heard back from (which was rather rude), the second accepted me but gave the position to someone else without telling me - so I was very grateful not to be going there! The others were not happy about me taking my dog Dante with me - so that was OK.

When I am applying for a job, I try to read between the lines for what the owner is looking for. Mostly, I believe my success is due my love of animals. Dog lovers want someone who will take care of their dogs like they are their own, they are like their children and they really worry about them. So I make the animals my priority. I have also built a reputation for looking after the properties and leaving them in immaculate condition. And I have built up my references with contact numbers so that owners can call and check them out. I know that helps. However, I do have an attitude of trusting that I will be in the right place at the right time and I have been pretty flexible about travelling. I get a gut feeling for the places I want to apply for and only apply for the ones that feel right.

I hope that helps.

Regards
Sue"

Website down time - functions being restored to a better place

Website down time - functions being restored to a better place

We apologise for the downtime experienced recently. Our web server crashed and had to be replaced by a new more powerful web server.

All customer profiles and information are kept on a separate data base server which was not impacted. So all information is intact.

We are still bringing up functionality such as mail so apology for any unanswered customer requests. There may be intermittent problems and some functions such as picture upload now working while we restore all the functions.

The good news is the replacement web server is more powerful and has more recent robust software - so a little pain and a lot of gain.

Our system engineers have been working around the clock to restore things as quickly as possible . Downtime at housecarers.com is very rare and I appreciate your patience while we bring back housecarers stronger and better than ever

"We have just moved into a wonderful house sit position in Mandurah at one of the canal homes. It has been a delight to negotiate with the owners and it's wonderful to have a roof over our heads whilst our own place is being built.

We had just re-activated our membership in order to get another position for September and October, and already have an interested party. Thank you for such an efficient and easily navigable web-site. "
