Contacting sitters who have favourited the listing

I know I have saved a few listings over the last few months but not sure how to “unsave”. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

@Globetrotter you click on the red heart again in your list of favourites - either in your list on the app, or in your favourites list in your inbox on your dashboard on the website.

Thank you that was helpful.

Thanks Snowbird!

I don’t think I’m getting this. i went into my inbox and when I click on “favourites” I see some sits I’ve done in the past but not sits that I’ve saved. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I usually pride myself on navigating well on this site!

Are you using the app or the website?

On the website, go to Your Name in top menu, and click on Favourites below.

On the App, just click on Favourites at the bottom. There’s a little “filter” icon on the top RH where you can choose “All” or “Currently Seeking a Sitter” etc if you want.

I see what you mean @Globetrotter and mine looks similar. Those under favourites in my dashboard/inbox area don’t match those I favourite on the app. I don’t use the favourites via the dashboard so didn’t notice the difference. I really appreciate the notifications on my phone for those I’ve favourited and so that’s the only favourite option I use.

Agreed, I’m totally tearing up! So nice of you to do that for her Edith.

Hello I am new to TH, highly recommended and I have already arranged and confirmed my first sitter. Thank you for that! My question is, several people have indicated an interest in a posting for a sitter but did not reach out to me. Are these interested parties waiting for me to contact them?

Hi @Crystals and welcome to the forum, and to TrustedHousesitters. I am a sitter and I favourite listings on the app when I see a listing that I find interesting. It’s almost like bookmarking it. If the current dates work for me, then I would apply. Otherwise, the benefit to me is that anytime you next list, I would get a notification on my phone that a listing that I’d previously listed now has new dates.

Homeowners do reach out to sitters who have favourited their listings in the past. However, if you do that, first check the sitter’s calendar and make sure there aren’t any of your dates with a black line through them as that shows the sitter has a confirmed THS sit. Other than that, don’t pay much attention to the calendar as not all sitters use it.

Same as @meow, I will favorite a sit if I like the location but it doesn’t coincide with my availability. What it does is send me a notice telling me when that home requires a sitter again in the future.

It certainly wouldn’t hurt for you to reach out to people, but don’t read too deeply into it if they don’t accept.

Hi All,
I’m fairly new to THS, joined early this year and just completed my first experience using a H/S. Now that I’m on to posting my second H/S requirement, I would like to know… As I Favorite house sitters I like - whether they Favorited me first, or I go searching for them - how long do Favorites stay in my ‘folder?’ Are they only saved within each requirement I post, or are Favorites saved for the length of my membership (so I can basically start developing a Rolodex of sitters I like instead of searching the vast list of sitters again and again with each new sit requirement)?
Thanks!
Amy

They will stay in there unless they remove your listing from their favorites list. :slight_smile:

Hi Amy @AR-W congratulations on having your first sitter and it’s great that you are now looking for your next kitty sitter to stay in your lovely Dubai home.

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our community forum and the TrustedHousesitters, I’ve just looked at your adorable Mugsy and what a name, I’m curious to know how he came by it.

Enjoy connecting with our members and welcome again.

Wait, what? Homeowners can favorite sitters? Is the sitter notified if they are favorited? (Because I know when a HS favorites a listing, the HO is notified.)

Nope, we don’t know if a home owner has favourited us.
