Sitter cancelled 1 week notice

My sitter has just notified me that they won’t be able to do our sit (due to being in hospital) starting in less than a week. I am a Premium member so I believe I might get some financial assistance from the Sit Cancellation Plan if I can source a new sitter. Any advice regarding how much work it is to get the assistance? I think I can find a paid sitter to do the sit, but not sure if I have to try re-list the sit here first? Panicking a bit as we need to sort this out asap so we can go away but I also don’t want to be hundreds of pounds out of pocket if we don’t follow the proper process. I am finding the t’s and c’s a little confusing.

@Sjt13 sorry to hear about your predicament. Even though the cancellation is for a genuine reason it must be stressful for you. Have you tried contacting member services on the urgent support phone line for advice ? The number is on your dashboard
