HouseSitter.com Omdömen 58

I have not had one serious inquiry or response. All seem to be spam. Snow clearing not in Southern California. When you ask about the pets, no response. A real disappointment. Time and money wasted. I wish I had read Trustpilot before hand.

This company has been scamming people for years now. I didn’t even want to give it a one star rating but was required to leave a review. I still see advertisements for this “business” and recently received its spam mail. Approximately 9 years ago I registered and paid to use their services as a house sitter with references in hopes of connecting with legitimate clients. This company lures you in with fake leads and steals your money. I had paid for a year and received no real leads. Their website was fake, and there was no phone number to communicate with anyone representing the company. No response through email, nothing. I had not realized at the time of the initial online signup that it was an auto renewal, but there was no customer service or support to cancel or refund. I literally had to contact my bank, stop payment, and cancel my debit card. I should have filed a fraud claim but did not. This “company” also operates as PetSitter.com and a long list of others apart of the CareGuide Family so beware, they are crooks and cons based out of Canada. The FBI should be notified about this scam/fraud.

First scammer tried to hit me within 12 hours of signing up. Went with the trial version, thank God. The sad thing is I actually have gotten jobs like this before, not off of a website though, from word of mouth. If you do this type of work more for travel than money just go to trustedhousesitters.
com

Paid membership several years now. Waste of money, time hope , the candle has burned out! House Sitter.com must be shut down, charged with theft, harrassment & fraud! Ive kindly asked for my money back several times also asking my bank to dispute the transaction. Im ignored. Shut this program down and let's sue em with a class action law suit.

One-Star Review: Housesitter.com – Where Affluent Upper-Class Jet-Setters Eagerly Overpay Strangers to Lounge in Their Mansions
Oh, bless housesitter.com, the refined enclave where members of high society graciously offer average strangers $200 per day to perform such arduous tasks as watering a ficus and sorting the occasional piece of mail. Truly the pinnacle of elite leisure: minimal effort, no credentials required, just a steady stream of cash for breathing in someone else’s opulent air.
Every single posting is a heartwarming copy-paste masterpiece—“Urgent: traveling executive needs trustworthy sitter, will send check in advance, please remit overpayment to my personal assistant in Malaysia.” The accompanying photos? Stunningly diverse headshots of people who all appear to have been extruded from the same Stable Diffusion prompt at 1 a.m. after three martinis. Reverse-image search results: a shrug emoji in search-engine form.
But don’t worry, the site assures us these are real humans who simply prefer to conduct all financial transactions via methods that the entire banking system has flagged as fraudulent since roughly 2004. Silly me for expecting anything as bourgeois as escrow, verified IDs, or, I don’t know, a single review from someone who actually met the homeowner in three-dimensional space.
Congratulations, housesitter.com—you’ve managed to create a platform whose sole purpose is to serve as the digital equivalent of a dark alley where someone waves a cashier’s check and whispers, “Quick, before the cops show up.” Ten out of ten scammers recommend it. Everyone else: run.
Still giving it one star because zero would imply I respect it enough to acknowledge its existence.

I signed up for their 3 month program. I sincerely believe that this company and their website is a scam. I spent time creating a profile, and reached out to 18 people in my area who were supposedly looking for someone to housesit. I got zero responses. Looking through the site, it appears that the listings are bogus. Since then, I've been getting emails that list people who are "interested" in having me housesit. They all seem fake. You cannot contact the company, and some of the "interested" people are just recycles of stuff already on their site. If I could give them less than one star, I would.

I recently signed up for a one-month paid housesitting membership, and almost immediately received multiple scam messages. I reported five of them to the site, and they confirmed that all five were, in fact, scams. Despite that, they told me they are “very careful” about keeping scams off the platform. I asked for a refund given that the service I paid for wasn’t delivered, but they declined, citing the membership agreement I signed.

ALL of the listings on HouseSitter.com are scams. After reporting many of them, and writing letters to the folks at CareGuide, I have discovered they absolutely do not care about these scammers. The scams are all the same, prepay by check, no face to face, keep a portion of funds and then send a payment to their painter, or decorator, or contractor. Do yourself a favor, run the other way as fast as you can.

SCAM SITE.
This is linked to Housekeer.com AND THEY'RE ALL SCAM SITES.
There's not a single person that's not a scammer and they have no customer service. THIS IS LEGIT FRAUD and needs to be TAKEN DOWN IMMEDIATELY.

This site is an absolute scam! They keep saying you may need snow removal in Los Angeles! LOL!

Well all the jobs are fake they get in touch with you and they try to send you a one of those fake checks it's just crap. Don't trust anybody, and only accept cash through an app or something checks will ruin your bank account. Personally I left housesitters.com because it's just ridiculous the scamming that goes on.

I'm pretty sure this entire website is a scam.

Not only will you find no actual job that aren't scammers trying to get your information but the day my subscription was supposed to renew but had been canceled 3 days before I started getting fraudulent charges. One was from hernanvasquez.com I looked up her and Vasquez in either the person himself is a scammer or people are using his face etc and scamming as him.

So yeah I think the whole site is a scam. They take your subscription money. Then they try to scam you through getting your information. Then when you cancel they start making fraudulent charges. The combination of the last two being so they can get around credit card and Bank company fraud protection maneuvers?

Just signed up and got a message to email someone about job and received an email that was definitely
a scam. Must have thought I was dumb. First giving a sad story. Then almost demanding that it was for cleaning and also I was to receive a check for some interior design something and I was to take payment for that.WTF

this website is a scam ! fake profiles, nobody respond to our messages and when they do they ask for personnal informations, and refuse to call us ! so do not use this website. this company is really a scam ! they should be signaled to the authorities !!

I have NEVER been able to sign in well on this garbage website. I will never use it again. I quit.

subscription is required so beware! I only messaged an 'active' potential client then a prompt message asking for subscription to continue chatting to the client, occurred.

Unfortunately, so far the only people that have reached out to me to "housesit" are a bunch of people looking to scam. They want me to purchase items upfront for them and not one of them has had anything to do with housesitting, dog sitting or otherwise so I would not waste your money paying for the app which, I regretfully did. I am pretty sure they think people are very stupid. I guess lucky for me I can see right through that!

Victoria Anne was excellent, she went above and beyond our expectations. We went ahead and hired her on a scheduled basis. That was 3 months ago. You won't find a friendlier, more conscientious, clean, organized, reliable person in south Johnson County, KS or Jackson County, MO. If she's not booked.

This site is a scam.... I got an account because I am a student who needs money for classes. The first girl asking me to housesit for her gave me the most basic, general instructions

"Duties and responsibilities
1. Collecting mail and packages and informing the owner of any important items; Patrolling the home for any securities hazards or maintenance needs;
2. Basic housecleaning, such as vacuuming, sweeping, mopping and dusting · Caring for pets by providing them with water, food
3. Cleaning the property and maintaining the garden
4. Ensure the home is safe and well looked after while the homeowner is gone."

She would not tell me the job location or when it started. Which could be excused until she started to be extremely pushy about the money.

" For convenience and transparency, I prefer to make payments via paycheck . It’s important for me to establish a reliable and trustworthy relationship with the House sitter, I hope you understand? "

She sent me a check for me to split for me and to pay the painters. It was important to her that I had the money before the address. She asked for my full name, email, and bank I said no. It is only an electronic check for depositing on your phone, etc... she was so pushy.

So then I was like ok she might be a scammer I'll take the check to the bank this morning to see if the check is legit or not, I'll try with someone else. So I got a message from this dude who seemed legit and I gave him an business email to contact me on and what do ya know.... He sent me the EXACT same messages the lady sent me. SO takeaway, this is a scam, don't do it.
