Welp, it’s finally happened - I’ve found an ideal sit but can’t apply to it because it overlaps with a current one by ONE day!
Does anyone know a loophole to get around this? I’ve checked my messages but we haven’t had any prior communication so I cant reach out that way. I’d hate to lose out on this sit if the homeowner might be flexible (especially since my overlapping sit is only 30mins drive away). It it possible to have someone else message them on my behalf?! Hellllpppp
Unfortunately there are no loopholes, THS approved ones anyway The overlap rule has caused a lot of issues for everyone so unfortunately you won’t be able to apply for this sit. Good luck moving forward, there’s always another one.
I was afriad of that! Being nomadic it leaves me with so many gaps when I can’t apply to these sits, so frustrating!

Yes, it’s so frustrating for singletons, couples can make it work.
Have you thought about joining one of the many Facebook groups for housesitters in addition to THS?You will obviously need take more care in selecting ideal sits and have good communication and a video call. I’ve been nomadic for several years and got two sits through Facebook in Western Australia which, after lots of communication, both worked out really well. Also consider joining another platform in addition. If you search the forum you’ll find discussions about alternatives.
