THS new rule of only showing the home owner the first 5 applications puts many of us who are in a different time zone or need some time to research the advertised area, at a big disadvantage. I have been house sitting full time for 4 years. I recently applied for a house sit for which I could see many connections, experience with the breed of dog etc. I applied at soon as I checked my early morning emails. Obviously the ad was posted the evening before. I was surprised and disappointed to see my reply was unopened even though only 7 replies were registered.
