Pets and other questions when filling out your profile

When you're filling out or editing your profile, there are two questions about living with companion animals (pets).

They use different types of selectors. A checkbox allows you to choose multiple answers, while a radio button (like an old-style radio) only allows one.  

Like most of our questions, please choose whichever is closest to your situation. You can always write more in your Introduction. 

This allows us to set up filters for the standardized answers. (previously if you wrote "Yes I love dogs" or "No I'm allergic to dogs" they would come up in the same search for the word dogs. This is one  step towards making it easier to create lists of potential homemates. 

As always, if you have questions about the working of the website or need tech support, send an email to web@swlt.ca , use our contact form, or ask in chat

I've recorded a video of logging in to SWLT.ca and moving around chat.

It was a bit too big to upload, so it's in two parts -

And here is how it looks on a phone or tablet.

If you're signing up on your phone, here's how that looks. You don't need an app for SWLT - just any browser on any device - phone, tablet or computer.

As a subscriber, your journey to finding compatible homemates* and then to start living together in a home of your choice has begun!!

To get started on this journey, you MUST have a completed profile.

  • To open the profile questionnaire, click on I'm ready to sign up.
  • Make sure you answer all of the questions that are marked with asterisks (*) as those are required to submit your responses. 
  • If you're not quite done, you can save your responses as a draft - because you're not logged in yet, this will place a cookie on your device, so you have to use the same computer/tablet/phone to come back and complete it. 
  • If you're joining SWLT but don't want to appear in the profile search, select I'm not looking at the moment

If things change, you can always come back and edit your profile responses. We may occasionally change or add new questions, so it's good to review your profile and keep it current. 

Homeowners must complete the Profile questionnaire AND the Homeowners questionnaire.

*SWLT uses the term homemates to describe the groups of women who have used our platform to find each other.
