If you're a would-be houseminder, it is important that you
are familiar with how our service operates.
Our starting point is with the needs of our homeowners, who contact
us to access our register of minders - responsible people
who'll care for their homes while they're travelling.
The Homeowners register with the Company and brief us on their
requirements. They detail:
- the period they will be away
- the type of person they want
- their pet and garden care requirements
- their preferred HouseMinders program
Owners choose from:
- The Do It For Me (DIFM) program
This is the complete value-added service provided by the Company,
where we do all the legwork and present a shortlist of suitable
candidates to the owner.
- The Do It Yourself (DIY) program
In this program, owners request a minder directory for their
region and conduct their own search and liaison directly
with individual minders.
| Please note that minders are automatically
registered for both programs. |

The Owner Do It For Me (DIFM) Program
- Step 1 - Registration and
briefing
The owners register and then provide
us with a brief of their requirements, type
of person they want, the number of pets etc.
- Step 2 - The Matching Process
We contact all minders who match the
requirements, ascertain their interest and
check their availability. We will
shortlist down to 2-3 appropriate minders.
- Step 3 - Owner interview
The owner usually reads each candidate profile before
phoning each one to arrange an interview
at the home.
- Step 4 - Decision
After contacting their referees, the
owner offers the assignment to the minders
on the shortlist that he/she prefers most.
