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. ---

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

I’ve 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 “over two months” would be useful (especially when visa limits are 90 days). This should be almost trivially easy to program. And isn’t it the software that we are really paying for? ---

I know but I want to search on duration not dates. ---

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

Hi @Wildcolonialgirl, although THS’ user interface doesn’t support “3 months” 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 browser’s address bar, you can select additional parameters in the THS user interface, such as WiFi, and then click ‘Save this search’ so it appears in your list of saved searches. `https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitting-assignments/?q=eyJmaWx0ZXJzIjp7ImFjdGl2ZU1lbWJlcnNoaXAiOnRydWUsImFzc2lnbm1lbnRzIjp7ImRhdGVGcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wNy0wNCIsInJldmlld2luZyI6ZmFsc2UsImNvbmZpcm1lZCI6ZmFsc2UsImR1cmF0aW9uSW5EYXlzIjp7Im1pbmltdW0iOjkwLCJtYXhpbXVtIjoxMjB9fX0sImZhY2V0cyI6W10sInNvcnQiOlt7InB1Ymxpc2hlZCI6ImRlc2MifV0sInBhZ2UiOjEsInJlc3VsdHNQZXJQYWdlIjoxMiwiZGVidWciOmZhbHNlLCJzdGF0cyI6W119` 🤓 And for those who are interested in some technical background, read on… I used ChatGPT to create the above URL. No programming skills are required. Just go to [chatgpt.com](http://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 “Updated Encoded URL:” section to find the newly created URL. Copy the URL and paste it into your browser’s address bar. Note: in the prompt, you can change the range “3 to 4” to your desired number of months. Enjoy! ---

There’s 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! ---

Hi @Wildcolonialgirl We’ve made a small update to the search! You can now search for sits up to 3 months in duration! You can also set both minimum and maximum duration ranges so that you can search more flexibly, for example, 1–3 months, 3–6 months, or 3 months+. We’ve also added a new filter under “More filters” so you can easily find sits where you can bring your own pet. This change is only available on the web at the moment, but there will. be an app update to come. Jenny ---

@Jenny Can you clarify if the search and more filters update is for both the app and website as I just checked the app, including if I had to update it, and these new features weren’t included? ---

Hi @temba Huge apologies, I just checked, and the app changes are scheduled for next week, at the moment it’s just the web that’s been updated. I will update my reply above! Jenny ---
