Hi,
I wondering why I keep getting invitations for sits close to home when I have removed my home country from my profile. It’s lovely to be asked but we would prefer sits further afield and I feel awful declining when HO’s have taken the trouble to contact me.
Any advice gratefully received!
Have you tried making your location the actual place you want to sit?
I suggest you put something in the heading of your profile such as ‘not available for sitting in……until……’ although you still may get invitations as not everyone will read it!

We change our profile location regularly to where we want to be not where we are currently.

I fear you may have to get used to declining. We have at times received multiple invitations a day (sometime nothing for weeks) despite marking our calendar as not available. I don’t think THS really works very well for this. Homeowners seem to want a free version of their local paid sitter so they simply look for the closest people and send out a mass invitation. I don’t think your choices really filter what they see.
We usually just reply with “Thank you for your invitation but we are not available.” for ones where they don’t even send a message and just invite we just decline.
Thank you all for your splendid advice, I think changing our location may be a good move!
