Contacting HO to express interest even if you cannot make the posted dates?

Did this one time when a 6-week sit in New Zealand was cancelled due to HO’s illness. Our flights were all booked and paid for from UK. Contacted advertised Christmas sits and explained our predicament - that we were not looking for a Christmas sit but a March/April one and wondered if any of them would be looking for a sitter then. Got lovely replies from all contacted HO’s and a 3-week housesit offer to look after 2 lovely cats who lived in a fabulous house whilst their owners went on a tiki-tour of the South Island!
So I say - Go For It! Nothing Ventured - Nothing Gained!
