I’ve brought this up previously on a THS “live chat” and hope I’m not the only one that feels this way. I find the availability calendar not “user friendly” but rather laborous. I’d rather be able to click on the dates I’m not available than the go through the entire year clicking on dates I am av…

But since @Anette, you had other plans, you wouldn’t have applied if the sits had been set up online as usual. Wouldn’t you? So it doesn’t change anything. The invitations were wasted time for the HO. In our experience, a properly maintained availability calendar does not change the number or quali…

Hi At the moment we aren’t planning any away time as my OH is waiting for a replacement knee op. He, currently, can only hobble around and not far. When we go away we like to be busy, visit places and walk. Until he is up to this we will be staying home. I don’t know if Sitters can “follow” a HO…

I always post the sit and if I have no replies within a fortnight I start trawling sitters. We have only ever had one reply and that was from a person who thought our sit would fit nicely between 2 others but she was nervous of dogs (we have a rescue dog with some issues) and had never looked after…

I don’t know why we don’t get any replies. I have spoken to the THS team and they have said our listings are very good, so it is nothing there putting people off. We are a bit niche tho and we do need someone who is confident with a rescue dog, happy to deal with large, friendly pigs and have some…

[image] Margaret: I don’t know if Sitters can “follow” a HO on the THS site??? Hi, Margaret go to your Profile in THS, copy the web link and put it here in your profile. Click on my name, and you can see how it looks.

Hi @Margaret that’s strange, I wonder why you haven’t had many applicants. A rescue dog, pigs and sheep in Shropshire sounds like heaven! My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic sit in Shropshire a couple of years ago (just outside Bridgnorth) and have been talking about returning ever since. We are …

Just adding a note to agree, the calendar has been a frustration all along for me. I try to keep it updated, and am quite computer savvy, and yet often have found myself going back to try to fix it since it’s not user friendly. I’d also like the ability to override - for example, my HO shortened the…

We have been contacted nuemerous times and invited to sit by HOS, which is lovely, except that they either don’t look at our availability - or don’t understand how the calendar currently works. We have suggested this to THS management previously…we feel it would be more intuitive for the calendar to…

Yes. I totally agree with you that it is confusing to HOs who look at the calendars. And the dates that sitters are going to be on THS sits are crossed off. So if they pull up a sitter’s calendar with a bunch of dates crossed off and a lot of white dates, they certainly may assume that the white d…

@Globetrotter thanks for raising this as the calendar is something we have not looked into for a while and are reviewing. Great feedback in this thread and lots of improvements we could make. Thanks, Ben
