@Ben-ProductManager Please put this clarification at the top of the post, or as a banner, or start a new post. Your original instructions are open to wide interpretation. My responses to these areas:
Making application (sitter)
Allow all listings to be open for up to 24 hrs, with the homeowner having the option to close it earlier.
Confirmation and sit management
Idea/Improvement
Make it far easier to change the date(s) on a confirmed sit, when both parties agree. I’m referring mainly to when start and end dates get firmed up nearer the date, and may need a day or two adjusted at the start or the end. Currently it’s so complex that I think many don’t bother.
Idea
Remove the calendar entirely. Instead, when a THS sit is confirmed, add the dates to a section in both the sitter and owner profiles. It’s useful information for both. It also would prompt a conversation if any overlap is identified by either party. I realize it won’t address sits that are not on THS, but I don’t think that can be captured.
Top Frustration
Minimal in the areas you’re asking about. I’ll respect the post and not stray into my pet peeves.
