PETSITTER.COM - This site (at least the free membership) seems to be a place for scammers not people that want a pet sitter! My first interaction… long story guy was out of town, his dog was with his buddy that had an emergency, after the elaborate story and hours of texting he wanted to pay up front…. Red flag! Sent the email for an Etrans, low and behold he had a new bank account and couldn’t send Etrans yet 2nd red flag, so he wanted to pay by E cheque … Called the bank NEVER except E cheques unless you know the person well!. We also checked his area code although he supposedly lived in a 416 area code, but was on a business trip in NYC, his area code was 747 -345-2770 California) told the guy you can pay cash when you pick the dog up… never heard from Kev D again!

They do not vet their people who respond to your enquiry/advertisement. It appears to be nothing more than a bot, running a matching service that has no true vetting of personnel against your needs. It appears to be nothing but an algorithm that throws people at your ad dependent upon certain code words. As an example, I had a 15 YEAR OLD apply for a dog sitting position for two weeks. I am going to be out of the country, and she had 'some' experience with dogs, but not cats, which was in profile. BAD BAD service. Terribly disappointed that I was to pay $30+ each month, for nothing but more aggravating work.

I want to thank those who have already left reviews. I signed up and have had two try to scam me. Even emailed me a check and wanted me to print it. It’s ridiculous. I’m deleting mine right after this. FRAUDS AND SCAMS

A horrible website. Hard to use and the site is littered with scams. You have to upgrade to premium and even then, you only receive 8 messages. Confusing, messy, very hard to communicate with this site. I only signed up for 3 months, but I will not be renewing.

Maybe petsitter.com should find a better way to run their website. It's full of people trying to scam you. I'm trying to find jobs so I can make a living and i being pushed into getting scammed and there customer service people are useless. Stay away if u can.

I got scammed. I opened up my discover card mobile app to find 6 charges of 52 dollars. Discover is saying pet sitter gave them documents that has me agreeing to that. I couldn't get anywhere on this app just like other people said. I'd click on an email and I got nowhere. The people were the same people looking for a sitter. I don't even remember signing up for a 52 dollars a month agreement.

I have been on this “free” site for a bit now looking to watch peoples loved ones and all iv been getting is people sending their number for me to message them there instead of on the site. When you contact them they sound very strange and then want to drop the animal off and pay up front by bank draft . I tell them I like to meet first all you get is they are out of town and a neighbor will drop them off and they want to pay me now ! I say that’s not how I do it I except E-transfer or cash after the service is done and you pick up your dog. After that you don’t hear from them again. Dont fall for it !! Scam

If this company is NOT a scam it seems to be at best, one step up from being a complete scam in my opinion. I would CAUTION both pet owners and pet service persons to do their research both on the site and online elsewhere and in the reviews. I joined as a “free” member and was unintentionally subscribed on auto pay. I am not certain whether any of the accounts are actually valid on this site but the site essentially (in my opinion) tricks you into making a “free” profile and then blocks your ability to actually connect with a pet owner or a pet carer. Buyer BEWARE. Read the many, many reviews. It cost me $40 and all I got was this opportunity to inform others.
