London is hard to get. Very competitive. When I joined THS several years ago I had no problem. Now I hardly see them before getting closed out by the 5 application limit. We pay full price for partial access to listings.

London sits are tough to get - I had a really great 3 week sit in Putney and then a few 3 night fill-in sits in Richmond and North London. Iāve also sat with a repeat for a week and 10 days in Hayes which is a south suburb - about 40 minutes by train from London Bridge or longer with red bus transfers. So think suburban.

Totally! I joined in 2018, and everything was much easier then. Now, itās getting more and more difficult to apply in cities such as London, Madrid, or Lisbon. The posts last literally minutes (if not seconds). The no-overlapping policy doesnāt help either.

I agree London sits are tough to get. Im considering London, as well as London suburs, or even a bit furtherā¦
You deserve to find something if āKarmaā is operating after the horrendous āspikes on a chairā sit you recently escaped fromā¦. I hope something turns up 
Brighton/Woking/Weybridge/Guildford all have good public transport links. Best wishesā¦.

Couldnāt agree more 
Have a look on the house sitter Uk FB pages @MyrCar and post your availability, a few pics and a testimonial and see if that works. As @BonnyinBrighton says, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Kent all have āsuburbsā of London. Or just go for it and take a FlixBus or off peak train somewhere further afield

I petsat for almost 3 weeks in Brighton and loved it. We took the 1 hour train ride to London, twice, and also went to Bath and Dorset. It was a great location and a really fun town.
