Obviously, some people just don’t understand common courtesy.
That’s such a frustrating experience — and sadly a common one. This is exactly why I think THS should adopt a reply rating system like Kiwi House Sitters uses. Over there, I get a response to about 99% of my applications, usually within a day or two, because communication is tracked and valued. It works both ways: owners are recognized for replying promptly, and sitters are encouraged not to ghost either.
But from what I’ve seen, THS isn’t likely to make this change unless owners push for it. If any owners here agree, please contact THS directly through the Help Desk or by emailing support@trustedhousesitters.com. Owners’ voices carry the most weight, and your support could make this happen.
