I just happened to notice today that the city where I live is missing from underneath the heading on my profile. I clicked on some other sitters’ profiles and none of them have the location of where they live. I’m really curious as to the reasoning of why THS would choose to delete this info from sitters’ profiles? Wouldn’t a homeowner like to know the location where a potential sitter resides?

Look further down. I noticed this a few days ago when I had an update.
It has moved. You can see it further down when you click on ID verified.
I think it should be more prominent (as before). On the other hand some sitters change their location based on where they want to be, rather than where they are.

I totally agree! Would like to hear from THS though as to why this change was made as it makes no sense whatsoever.
@Globetrotter I can think of a few reasons, although I’m not justifying them:
- They maybe don’t support people being able to change their location to suit their next chosen travels, rather than where they actually live. If they can’t stop it, they’ll hide it.
- Because of hesitation about border crossings, they may not want to highlight that the sitter may need to pass through immigration. Yes, it can be found if owners read carefully, but it’s less noticeable, for sure.
- Lastly, there may not be any logical answer as to why.

Thanks for your feedback Snowbird I have a feeling point #3 is probably the one! I would still like to hear from THS as to the logic behind this change but perhaps no logic
