You should be smiling broadly, and the photo should be sharp and clean. If you wear glasses, keep them on in your photo. Photos with pets often make a great impression, especially if you&#8217;re applying not just for house sitting but also for pet sitting.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Criminal_Background_Check\"><\/span>Criminal Background Check<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A criminal background check is easy to obtain and it&#8217;s a great way to convince a host of your credibility.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">References are important.
