You ask, we built 🛠️

This week's community-requested updates are live:

🏷️ Nickname support: prefer to go by a different name? You can now show a nickname instead of your ID-verified first name on your profile

🌍 More languages: Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Slovenian are now available in the "languages I speak" selector

🖨️ Printable referral cards: download business cards & posters with your personal QR code from "Your Discount" page and share GPS with the world

🔒 Accidental role-change protection: we now warn you before switching roles if you still have active sit assignments

📅 Smarter review imports: external reviews now auto-sort by their original date, so your review history always appears in the right order

500 founding members. 🎉

When Jo and I started building Global Pet Sitter, we had one simple idea: a housesitting platform built by the community, for the community. No booking fees. No surprise charges down the road. Just pet owners and sitters connecting as it should be.

We didn't run a big launch campaign. We just started talking to people - on Reddit, in Facebook groups, at vet clinics - and it turns out a LOT of people were waiting for exactly this. We've had so many positive reactions - it's heartwarming.

500 people have now signed up as early adopters, and every single one of them gets their first year free. They're not just members - they vote on features, shape the platform, and help us build something that actually solves the issues housesitters and pet owners have been experiencing on other platforms.

We're still early. We're still building. But 500 people already believe in this before it's finished, and that means everything. If you've been curious, the door's still open..

Exciting Update: Identity Verification is Here! 🛡️

You can now verify your identity using a government-issued ID, right from your profile settings. Once verified, you'll receive a Verified badge on your profile, visible to other members.

Why verify?
- Build trust with home owners and fellow sitters
- Stand out and get more responses to your applications
- Help make our community a safer place for everyone

How it works:
1. Head to your Profile → Trust & Verification
2. Click "Verify Identity"
3. Submit your government ID through our secure partner Didit
4. That's it — your Verified badge will appear on your profile!

The process only takes a few minutes and your documents are handled securely by Didit.me — we never store your ID documents ourselves.

Verification is optional, but we highly encourage all members to verify. Whether you're a sitter or a home owner, a verified profile goes a long way in building confidence within our community.

Go verify your identity today! ✅

Verify users in real time with free unlimited Core KYC. Modular identity platform for KYC, AML, biometrics, fraud prevention, and more — no contracts, no minimums.

Meet Global Pet Sitter — a housesitting platform built differently.

We connect pet owners with trusted sitters worldwide. No separate membership tiers, no hidden or surprise fees, no booking commissions. Just a community of animal lovers helping each other.

What makes us different:
- One membership covers both sitting and hosting
- Blind reviews — both sides submit before either sees the other's
- You vote on what we build next (public roadmap)
- Import your reviews from other platforms
- ID verification for trust and safety
- Private safety reporting that flags patterns behind the scenes

We're a small, bootstrapped team of engineers (and pet sitters ourselves) building this in the open. Currently in our early founders stage — sign up now and your pricing is locked in as the platform grows.
