Product update to avoid overbooking sits

@Carla will this new Product Update also block homeowners from inviting sitters when the sitter already has a THS sit confirmed ?

This happens to us sooo frequently and is a waste of everyone’s time. After confirming the sit that we are currently on we subsequently received 4 additional private date invitations that conflicted with this sit.

And just this week we received an invitation for overlapping sit dates where we already have a THS confirmed sit in the calendar for 2024.

For each of these I took the time to send a personal decline message with an explanation. Several homeowners were perplexed since they had searched for sitters using the date function so naturally assumed that it meant we were available.

I’ve not seen a homeowner mention that they get a pop up to advise them that the sitter already has a sit and is therefore not available.

Can product team please confirm what message a homeowner gets if they try to invite a sitter for overlapping dates ? If a homeowner sends an invitation to several sitters at once for the same dates and one has a confirmed sit - will the homeowner be able to send the invitation to all or will it be blocked ? @Ben-ProductManager , @Lizzie-ProductManager @Jimmy-Product_Manager

Thank you
