Sitter Posting Open dates in a Region to line up longterm sits

First post in the forums… My wife and I are Sitting been on 8 sits this year and enjoying the experience immensely!

Currently based in the Northeast, sat from here to Florida and looking to transition to southern Florida (Tampa / St Pete area) in October through March for business and weather.

Apologize if this has popped up before but is there a method for us to “Post” open time in a region to find a number of 30+ day sits in these areas?

Appreciate your thoughts and recommendations.

Hello @JoYa and welcome :wave:t3: Unfortunately not, best thing to do is find individual sits in locations you like and favourite them and/or also favourite locations for the date range you are available and save those too & then you’ll get alerts for both. #bestworkaround

You can search with the duration filter. In the web interface it looks like this:

You can also save such a search (a map search may be best), and get alerts when new listings come up.

@pietkuip That’s the first time I’ve heard a map search function even exists. A welcome discovery! Where do you find that on the app?

Oh, I am not certain that it exists in the app (and if it exists it is difficult to zoom and to move with precision). So this is best done in the web interface. Then you can make this a Saved search and it will then also be accessible from your list of searches in the app. And you can set up notifications (email and/or push).

Both features are available on the app but as you say, you have zoom and scroll down to search and find.
I usually have use both my phone and iPad when searching and applying. I have also noticed that not all sits appear on both, mobile and app initially.
For example, a search for UK on specific dates may not show all London sits on one or the other. You have to tweak and narrow the focus. Sometimes the map works better.
Definitely save searches and make sure notifications are turned on.

You can also change your physical location in your profile to Tampa, Florida (even though you are not there now).

This is ONE situation where you might benefit from Owners’ belief that INVITING Sitters works!

@pietkuip Thanks. I’ve always thought searches on computer didn’t come up in the app and vice versa. I’ll have a look!

Thank you all for sharing your suggestions!! Really awesome community!
