Hello everyone and Happy New Year from the Product Team at Trusted Housesitters. 
We are pleased to announce the improvements we’ve made to the platform in our busy first week back after the Christmas break:
-
Airbnb and LinkedIn links on the App. It’s now possible to view a sitter’s Airbnb and Linkedin profiles, if they’ve added them, through their profile
-
App inbox loading improvements. This is the big one, as this will improve load times across the App and was causing us latency problems across our platform. We have simplified and streamlined the inbox, so we now have an Inbox view and an archived messages view. You can still view all the conversations organised by your open dates on the Dashboard if you are a pet parent or combined member or from the Your Dates page if you are a sitter.
-
Find a House Sit sort options on web (coming soon to App) We have added 3 sort options for you to choose from when doing a search. “Recommended” shows sits that you are more likely to secure”Newest” sorts the sits by the date they were added to the platform. And finally, “Distance” sorts sits based on their distance from the place you searched (note this is only available for searches performed at a city level). These were all tested towards the end of 2022 and helped more members find and secure the desirable sits.
Once again thank you for all your support, suggestions, and proposed improvements.
Many Thanks, Trusted Housesitters Product Team
