TrustedHousesitters

TrustedHousesitters is a membership community for pet parents who want their animals cared for at home and travelers who are comfortable living in someone else's home while looking after pets. Owners use it when a kennel, drop-in visit, or paid house sitter does not fit the pet's routine; sitters use it to plan trips around stays with dogs, cats, and other animals instead of hotels. Both sides pay for membership, and the matching is built around profiles, reviews, references, verification, and clear expectations before a sit starts.

The product is most useful for travel-heavy pet owners, remote workers, retirees, digital nomads, and pet-experienced travelers who value longer stays and routine-based animal care. An owner can list dates, home details, care instructions, and pet needs, then review sitter applications before agreeing on a match. A sitter can search by location, animal type, dates, and home setup, then use the sit to experience a destination while feeding, walking, medicating, or comforting pets in their own home.

Creators apply from TrustedHousesitters' affiliate page, where the program is aimed at publishers, bloggers, influencers, and content creators with at least 5,000 social followers or 5,000 monthly website visits. The application flow points applicants to Impact.com; after approval, partners receive tracking links, discount codes, creative assets, and access to a Partner Hub for campaign materials.

The official affiliate page confirms commission-based compensation, additional lead incentives, and a 30-day cookie through Impact.com, but it does not publish a fixed public percentage, bounty, payout method, minimum payout, or payment cadence. Applications are reviewed weekly and the page asks applicants to allow at least five working days for processing. TrustedHousesitters also separates this affiliate route from Trusted Tailblazers, which is a member rewards program for smaller creators rather than the contractual publisher program.
