Frequently asked questions
Trusted Housesitters scores F on the API Report Card. No public developer API. TrustedHousesitters offers no REST or GraphQL surface, webhooks, or partner program; sit history, reviews, messages, and payments are reachable only through the web and mobile apps. Not even calendar sync for confirmed sits exists.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
TrustedHousesitters is a global consumer marketplace, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Brighton, UK, that connects pet owners ('pet parents') with travelers willing to stay in their home and care for their pets in exchange for free accommodation.
Consumer (B2C) two-sided marketplace, not a vertical SaaS in the traditional Supergood sense. Pet parents create a home/pet listing with photos, pet care instructions, and desired sit dates; sitters search by location/date/pet type, apply with a personal pitch, and exchange messages.
Dominant in its niche.
TrustedHousesitters holds: member identity and verification documents (ID verification, background checks on Premium), full sit application and confirmation history, structured 5-star reviews in multiple categories (the de-facto reputation graph for the entire global house-sitting industry), in-platform message threads between owners and sitters, recurring subscription billing records, insurance claim history (Home & Contents Plan, sit-cancellation cover), pet and home listing content (photos, care instructions, lockbox/access codes), and 24/7 vet consult logs via the Airvet integration.
Mature and well-funded. Founded 2010, with substantial 2022–2024 product investment following the Mayfair Equity Partners management buyout.
No public API exists, sitters and pet parents cannot programmatically export sit history, reviews, or message archives to portfolio sites, CRMs, or personal tooling. Sit data, reviews, and verification badges are locked into the TrustedHousesitters profile, moving to another platform (HouseCarers, Nomador) requires manually rebuilding reputation from zero.

Common alternatives include Nomador, HouseCarers, MindMyHouse, Rover, Wag!, HouseSittersAmerica. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
