Quick note:
IMPORTANT SCOPE NOTICE
This profile is intended for flats/apartments, and standard homes with low to moderate responsibility requirements.
It applies to house- and pet-sitting arrangements with or without pets, where no special risks, land management, equipment, or independent judgment beyond normal daily living is required.
For larger properties, rural locations, longer stays, or higher-responsibility situations, the
The Nordic House Sitters – Property Owner Profile (Longer and Higher-Responsibility Sits)
must be used instead.
PROPERTY OWNER PROFILE — CONFIRMATION BEFORE AVAILABILITY
This profile allows property owners to document a house- and pet-sitting offer once and reuse it.
It helps potential sitters review key details upfront and reduces misunderstandings later.
Please mark each item with an uppercase X inside the brackets and add comments where clarification is needed.
