Hi there,
While THS does have a search function to find sitters and send invites, most sits are secured through applicants. Sending invites is a laborious and often fruitless task that doesn’t often work out, because the likelihood of finding somebody both available & interested in your sit is very small and many sitters ignore or decline unsolicited invites. Rather, those that are keen to sit for you will find you if you have an attractive listing. Be sure to add your listing to your forum bio for us to view and help out.
Here’s how:

Hope that helps!
For future reference, for the best experience with THS, make sure you post your dates (especially if they’re over a holiday) well in advance, at least a good few months. Most sitters come from abroad or a different area of your country and will need to make travel arrangements, possibly book flights & plan their sits in advance - especially if they’re a nomad!
