We are half way through our second year as sitters and we are usually try to plan six months in advance - more if we can get it. We also have some specific areas we would love to visit and enjoy sits. There does not seem to be a way within THS to have a notification that allows sitters to be able to post “we would like to be considered for a 6 to 8 week sit in (pick an area or country) anytime from September 2023 to May 2024” or something like that. Maybe a very short blurb about reviews and that’s it.
This might give HOs an opportunity to pre-select candidates from experienced housesitters who actually want to be in their area at the time they need one. With the 5 rule in effect, unless we are on the website several times a day, we can easily miss an opportunity to apply for our ideal sit because it limited out and we never knew it existed…
Just a thought…
