What Reputable Sitters is
Think of it as a showcase layer on top of the platforms where you built your experience.
TrustedHousesitters, Nomador, HouseCarers – these are brilliant for building your reputation. Keep using them. (Curious about the THS booking fee? We've broken it down.)
Reputable Sitters is where you bring it all together:
- Verify your experience through GDPR data export
- Display your credentials in one place
- Set your own rates for paid work
- Show where you are and where you cover
- Let homeowners contact you directly
We're not replacing the platforms. We're complementing them.
For sitters: Your full picture
If you've built experience across multiple platforms, a homeowner on THS can only see your THS reviews. They can't see the sits you did elsewhere.
Reputable Sitters shows your complete track record.
48 from THS + 19 from Nomador + 6 from HouseCarers = 73 total verified reviews. You can own your review history across all of them.
For homeowners: The complete picture
On individual platforms, you only see experience on that platform. A sitter might have 20 reviews on THS but 40 more elsewhere.
Reputable Sitters shows: total experience across all platforms, verified reviews, published rates, current location and availability.
What we verify

Add paid work to your options
The free-exchange platforms don't allow payment. That's their model, and it works.
But if you've built 20+ reviews of experience, you might want the option to charge for your expertise. To say: “I'm available in the Algarve in April, here's my rate, get in touch.”
Reputable Sitters enables that. Keep using THS and Nomador for free-exchange sits. Use Reputable Sitters for paid opportunities. They're complementary.
