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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.trustedhousesitters.com/t/no-luck-so-far-getting-applicants/76837)._
