Getting started with your house sitter account in ten easy steps

After successfully activating your account, log into your MindMyHouse account. The first thing you will see after logging in is your dashboard. Your Dashboard contains the most commonly used functions and links to help you manage your account.
The first thing to do, after logging in, is to go to the “My account” page and verify your email address. This is important in order to receive email alerts. Just click the link highlighted in yellow on the “My account “ page. If you can't see this link, then you have a probably already done this step.
Next, add your personal details to the “My account“ page (such as your current address, spoken languages, phone, etc). This is important, as some of this information is used in your profile.
Next, set up an email alert (or two), so that you can be notified of upcoming house sitting assignments that are posted to MindMyHouse, on a daily basis. To do this, simply make a search for house sitting assignments in the country you are interested in, then click the “Create an email alert” link (located just below the search filters). This step is essential to ensure that you get the most out of your MindMyHouse account!
Next, it's time to create your “Sitter available” listing, also commonly known as your profile. Having a listing very important, as homeowners look at this, to help them choose a house sitter. To get started with your listing, choose the “Edit my listing/profile” link from the “House sitter” main menu, or dashboard.
This last step (ie. editing your profile) may take some time, so just save as draft and you can always come back to it later. Make sure you some photos as well!
Next, after you have completed and published your listing, it's time to add some references. This can be done choosing the “My references” link from the “House sitter” main menu, or dashboard. Please see this FAQ if you need further help references. Also, please note testimonials can only be added after you have completed an assignment.
Next, it's time to update your availability calendar. This is used to mark out dates that you are not available for house sitting. To do this, choose the “My availability calendar” link from the “House sitter” main menu.
Next, if you are a member of another house sitting website, and would like us to import your testimonials from this other website, please use the “Bring my reputation” link from the “House sitter” main menu.
That's it. You're pretty much ready to go. It’s time to start applying for house sitting assignments and contacting home owners.
