Hello, @Jann I would like to extend you a very warm welcome to the community forum.
Here you can get lots of advice on how to get started and use the spyglass to search for and contribute to existing topics.
There is a help desk article about CCTV, which should help answer your question.
It sounds like you have selected the recommended in the ‘sort by’ filter in the search options. Are you using the desktop version or the app?
If you add the location you are looking to sit in and then click on the ‘sort by’ filter option, you can choose to see all new listings in that area here.
You can also add your TrustedHousesitters sitters profile to your forum profile so that way other members can view your profile and give you helpful feedback and tips to get started.
Here is how:
