@teecee , it seems like you skipped a few steps in the process and the sitter may have been unsure about it and walked away. This is quite understandable as it’s your first time. Generally, there are a few emails on the THS email platform between the owner and the prospective sitter. Then if the owner wants to proceed, they exchange phone numbers and set up a phone or video call to get a better feel and answer questions. If things feel right after that, the owner confirms the sitter, the sitter accepts and the sit is set.
