@worldjason There are a lot of things that are one-sided on THS that favor homeowners. Hosts can charge for utilities. Sitters can’t charge a fee to cover their transportation costs… Hosts can contact any sitter on the site by sending an invite. Sitters can’t contact hosts even to ask a question unless they are among the 5 candidates applying for a sit or have applied for a previous sit or the HO has invited them at some point. Hosts are allowed to post their last minute sits on the forum. If sitters have last minute gaps to fill or are wanting to sit in a specific area during a specific time, they are not allowed to post this on the forum. Homeowners may post unlimited numbers of sits throughout the year. Sitters are restricted from applying for sits unless they are among the first 5 applicants and have no overlaps with existing dates. Sitters and homeowners pay the same membership fees, but sitters are definitely treated differently by THS. Luckily, there are many wonderful hosts who appreciate their sitters and treat them like friends.
