✅ **It would be GREAT if there was an option for a sitter to click a button (or something) to remove or prevent certain sits from showing up in our searches again. Here’s why - and I think it’s been mentioned before** -

Some of the house/pet owners are clear in their profile they do not want a single woman to apply (or a single man, or a family with kids, or prefer a couple etc…)

Or something else they have shared alerts me we are not a good fit for each other, yet I read through a lot of openings and will get part way through before realizing, “OH yeh! I already checked this one out and I don’t fit their requirements.”

That would save sitters’ time, but also be a positive for the owners as we won’t be wasting time. I suppose the owners could also have a button that says, don’t show me that sitter again, lol.

✅ **Also mentioned before**  **by others - allowing us to search by number of pets**. I’m all about the cats and dogs. But 9 dogs and cats in total? No.

Thank you for considering these helpful search tool ideas.

On your first point, YES—there should be several choices to mark a sit offering: read, never-to-be interested, favorite (any other ideas?). As it is now, there is only favorite, which I use to indicate that I have already read the listing.

As to your second point, I just noticed this today: “Search Plus.”
