I think THS should allow sitters to book a new sit the same day the previous one end (Without the use of a duo feature).
Are you also a full time sitter, and have an issue of gaps in the schedule just because THS blocks you for starting a new sit right after one ends??
I just don’t see a reason not to be able to finish a sit around morning and get to the new one in the afternoon.. some of the sits are even at the same town, like 5 minutes from each other.. so, THS, can we please have some more flexibility? Leave the arrival time discussion between the sitter and the host please!

This is allowed and I have done it.

@rotemgb, like @MaggieUU then we have done this quite a few times. THS does not require Duo Sitter premium feature to accept two housesits that start/end on the same day. Rather Duo feature permits up to a two day overlap.

We are not Duo sitters - we have done several back to back THS sits in a row this year ( starting the same day we finished another ) . This is possible for both solo and joint sitters .

You’re not a client. You’re a host. Both you and your sitters pay the same membership fees to belong to the THS platform. You don’t “book” sitters for a set time. If you’d like someone to arrive at 8am then it will depend on both your diaries & if you can accommodate them the night before if they are travelling from some distance. #equalexchange

Thank you everyone for your replies. I apparently had a technical issue that was solved by contacting technical support directly.

@sailwind5555 just as @Cuttlefish said, you don’t “book” anyone.. the arrival sit time is being agreed by both the sitter and the pet owner as a mutual agreement. This kind of language has no place on this platform , which is all about a mutual exchang.

I noticed the same issue. I was interested in a sit that started the day an upcoming confirmed one would end. When I clicked on “Dates” to see if they had any applicants, I got the standard message from THS saying I was already busy sitting during those dates. But no, the confirmed sit ends the day the prospective one begins. I guess I’ll have to contact customer service as well?
