Sorry if I came across as overly strong. It just read as a big concern as opposed to “Would it be okay to lock off a room?” Here’s the thing: Sitters and hosts (homeowners/pet parents etc) are all members. They all pay more or less equal yearly fees for memberships with similar tiers. Some people do both. If you pose a question in the “Owner Questions” it is going to be seen by sitters and visce versa. So within the forum you are always addressing the entire community.
I do both, and have been (maybe overly) offended sometimes by people’s phrasing when they refer to sitters or owners as though they are a monolith. I’ve sat for 15 different hosts through THS and have had around 19 different THS sitters in my home. Everyone was an individual.
Maybe it’s me, but there is very little difference in type between the type of people I sit for and the type of people who sit for me. We all love pets. We all love to travel.
(I also agree that locking off a room in a 2 bedroom seems like a lot. I’d recommend if you’ll be doing this a lot consider getting a knob lock for a closet. )
