I would love to be able to search for sits of 3 months duration. Currently you can search for 1 or 6 months which is a huge jump.

It is very annoying to go from 1 month to 6 month and not have any duration in between

Iâve got a saved search on the app, for any sit within a 3 month period. I just put the dates in, January to March.

you can select dates manually, by choosing location, then highlighting dates on calendar, i.e. highlight 1st August to 1st Nov
Sure, but I would like to be able to search for any longish sit in faraway countries. Also âover two monthsâ would be useful (especially when visa limits are 90 days).
This should be almost trivially easy to program. And isnât it the software that we are really paying for?

@Chrissie but then you get all sits within that date range, be they 1 day, 2 day or a weekâs duration. I want to search for long sits.

Hi @Wildcolonialgirl, although THSâ user interface doesnât support â3 monthsâ as a search parameter, you can craft a THS search URL that gives you that result. For example, here is a THS URL that returns worldwide sits within the duration range of 3 to 4 months. After you paste this URL in your browserâs address bar, you can select additional parameters in the THS user interface, such as WiFi, and then click âSave this searchâ so it appears in your list of saved searches.

I used ChatGPT to create the above URL. No programming skills are required. Just go to chatgpt.com and enter a prompt like this one:
Based on this THS URL for a 1 to 6 months search, create a URL for a 3 to 4 months search. https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitting-assignments/?q=eyJmaWx0ZXJzIjp7ImFjdGl2ZU1lbWJlcnNoaXAiOnRydWUsImFzc2lnbm1lbnRzIjp7ImRhdGVGcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wNy0wNCIsInJldmlld2luZyI6ZmFsc2UsImNvbmZpcm1lZCI6ZmFsc2UsImR1cmF0aW9uSW5EYXlzIjp7Im1pbmltdW0iOjI4LCJtYXhpbXVtIjoxNjh9fX0sImZhY2V0cyI6W10sInNvcnQiOlt7InB1Ymxpc2hlZCI6ImRlc2MifV0sInBhZ2UiOjEsInJlc3VsdHNQZXJQYWdlIjoxMiwiZGVidWciOmZhbHNlLCJzdGF0cyI6W119
ChatGPT will quickly return the answer, including info about how it created the new URL. In the results, scroll down to the âUpdated Encoded URL:â section to find the newly created URL. Copy the URL and paste it into your browserâs address bar.
Note: in the prompt, you can change the range â3 to 4â to your desired number of months.
Enjoy!

Thereâs currently one 6+ month search in the entire world, and it is, quite literally, in the North Pole. North Pole, AK. Swap the 6-month search for 3 months, THS!
