I joined the forum to also ask about the lack of applicants. I’ve been with THS since 2022 and have usually had several US-based sitters I’ve had to turn away. (I’m in Nashville, TN).
My current sit is over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I thought that could be why, but when I looked at available listings for multiple major cities, nearly every listing shows that there are Low Applications, regardless of the date.
I have to wonder if sitter interest has decreased after the recent booking fee changes that were rolled out.
Our renewal is coming up, but if we don’t find a sitter soon, there’s no value in keeping it another year.
Curious to hear what other’s experience has been and if this is a shift in platform usage, or maybe just a timing issue for my listing dates.
