Welcome to the forum @Gooloongarring .
THS Third Party policy is explained here :
Maybe useful to send this to the home owners ahead of your chat with them next week so that they have time to review it and consider a different plan .
Another forum member had a similar situation and you can read how they handled it here.
At the start of my week, a homeowner with whom I’d agreed on a sit months ago asked to chat. It turns out their grown son would be in the home overlapping part of my sit. Not only is that against THS terms, I have zero interest in sharing a home with a stranger. So my reply to the HO was straightforward and neutral:
“If it works out better, please feel free to have your son sit instead. If so, just cancel our sit on the platform. No worries if so.”
The HO: “He was always going to travel with us from X to X date.”
Me, knowing I wasn’t going to be talked into doing something I didn’t want to do: “I’m flexible between either your canceling our sit or doing the sit as planned, but without anyone else in the home.”
So the HO ended up canceling and asked whether they could help with airfare charges incurred. She also said she’d contact me about future sits.
