Right?! If it takes that long even though we’re at the top of the list, that’s a red flag for me.
Cat lover here too!!

You know what else I experience? Hosts that book the first person that applies, then say they’re ‘sorry, I wish we had seen your message first’. I’ve then had those people reach out again because the person they chose fell through.
Yep, there needs to be some sort of time-frame…maybe a section on the listing that hosts checkmark to indicate response time. I’m going to reach out to TH and suggest something like that.
I’ve learned my lessons over the time I’ve been sitting…not always fun, haha. But, valuable. Now I’m focused on the right fit in all ways.
So lovely to read this about your hosts being so thoughtful despite the things they were going through.

I’ve not had that exact experience, but a variation — they were already awaiting confirmation from another sitter and that fell through, so they offered me the sit.
Follow up. We are now on the 22nd of March for a sit that was on “reviewing” since the 10th of January. End of February I contacted THS support and asked them what to do. After which they contacted the HO. I also send them a kind reminder message. The response a few days later was: “Very sorry for the delayed reply. We had to pause applications due to changes in our dates.”. They changed the dates. I replied immediately that it was possible for me and confirmed them. That was 19 days ago. Again nothing happened since. I am now cancelling of course…
