When a new sitter member recently asked for feedback on their profile, one suggestion was to review their preferred countries. It made me wonder how many sitters never adjust this from the default, which is Anywhere in the World. Realistically, I think few of us would truly be willing to travel anywhere in the world these days.
To set your preferred countries, go to your dashboard, scroll down & click on:
Next to
click on Edit
Scroll down to what you see in the next image below, which is by default set on the first option, Anywhere in the world (this is a photo of mine, and I have my countries selected).
When you click on the second option, various groupings are shown.
Click on the dropdown arrows for one or all of them and click on the countries you want added to your profile. When you click them, they’ll go from white to dark green. Then click save all when finished in each grouping.
Once you’re finished, you may want to view your sitter profile and check the list, which shows under your Availability calendar.
