Using Care.com or SitterCity.com to find a pet sitter?

[Sushi (GA 5/05-3/14)]

Hi!
I'm wondering if anyone has experience using Care.com or Sittercity.com to find someone to care for your kitty when you can't. Any feedback/thoughts/experiences?

I signed up on care.com to be a pet sitter. I never got any jobs or responses even after I applied to several. If you use them - thoroughly check out the sitter, get references. Invite the person to your home - see how the animals react and gauge from there.
