Does anyone know, if I mark a sit as a favorite do the HO get notified I marked it ,or do I just get notification when they post a sit? I am looking for sits by my kids and would take dates if a HO reached out to me…
They can see that you marked them as a favourite @cdrewco so you never know, it might work! #fingerscrossed

@cdrewco, answer is yes. HO get notified of HS that favourite their listing.
We’ve had multiple HO reach out to us to explore our availability after we favourited their listing - sometimes shortly after, sometimes months later (future sit).

Yes, but also I’ve read on this forum that the owners never know which order the favourite’d people have come in. So if they’ve been with THS a long time or are in a tourist area, they may have a lot of people who have favourite’d them in the past, but they’ll never know who has done it recently, so they may just ignore their list. Not sure how true that is, it’s just what others have said before on here.

Only hosts who have standard or premium membership will be able to see who saved their listing. Like sitters, if a host has this highest tier, it is noted on their profile. Which means for anyone else, you wouldn’t be able to tell if they have standard or basic.
I have never been contacted by a host whose listing I have saved, though some people have gotten sits this way. It definitely can’t hurt to mark ones you may like, but your best bet will always be regularly checking the listings in areas you would like to visit, especially if it is a popular one.

Funny that this topic comes up right now. Coincidentally, I received an invitation this morning because I was too tired to apply for a sit last night, but I wanted to save it, so I favorited it. Promptly, I received an invitation this morning.
I have quite a few sits in my favorites, simply because I don’t want to miss out when the homeowners eventually make their listing live. And we often get invited precisely BECAUSE we favorited the listing.
I also do this when the homeowners already have all 5 applications together - I favorite the listing, and I’ve had success with this approach too, where a spot opened up and they invited us.

I think the order is left to right, then down 1 row, etc.
So, in web browser, the most recent Favourited Sitter is the first profile in the top left of Page 1, and the oldest Sitter will be at the far right, last row, last page. In the app, scroll through top to bottom.
