I thought this Europe filter would not include UK since UK has it’s own filter.
I think the previous Europe fiter didn’t include the UK. Not certain, it’s been a while.

@Carla Any timing on that? Still not possible in the app. I don’t use the desktop very often. Also is European including the UK or excluding UK?
It is with the UK included, so not terribly useful.
Just now 3200 listings in the UK, and about a hundred or so in the rest of Europe.
Surely, the people that tested this must have seen that too? And they did not think a little step further?

Hello everyone, Thank you for your feedback. The previous Europe filter also included the UK. I have let the team know that you think it would be helpful to separate the UK. I will let you know what they update me with slight_smile: Thank you!

Can’t wait for this upgrade. I really, really want to be able to block dates when I’m NOT available and have it notify a HO if they try to message me for dates within the blocked times. As I reply to any request I receive, even if it’s to decline, this would be a real time saver on both ends.

Agreed. But I think the ability to excluded countries would possibly be a solution too. I dont know what will work. I only know this solution" is pretty useless for my needs and those of others from what I’ve read on this forum.

YES!! I would like to have a feature where I can mark a listing with some kind of marking - an X or a red circle with a line or SOMETHING that tells me I have already seen this listing and am not interested in it so I can eliminate listings from my search and don’t have to review them all again and again. It is exhausting to want to “save” listings but unable to eliminate the ones I would never apply for.

I would like back all the things they have taken from us without having to pay extra for them!

Being able to select a geographic area then set a miles range related to that area.
Added picture
Rather than distance…make a drop down menu for miles, etc.

That you can do in the web interface, using the map.
Are you talking about location such as East coast sits, Midwest sits, West coast. Those are something id like to see. Example if a persons on a sit in California and dont want to fly all the way to the east coast, they could choose West coast and it would show sits all in whats considered West coast area states. That would be cheaper to fly within that area.
Not that.
If one enters Boston, MA then the option to look for sits within a 10, 20, 25…miles radius.
Oh i see .
And the HO should never be able to request a Sitter that is already booked. If TH can block sitters from applying on overlapping dates then they can do the same to save HO and PS the time of saying no to requests.

Really really need a 21st century distance search field for web and app.
Especially when thsitters will be traveling to new and unknown locations.
This does not cut it.
I put in the town of Brewster, MA.
One sit came up in Duxbury.
UMMMM…NO.
Duxbury is 55 miles/60 minute drive from Brewster.
The map funtion of zooming in/out is still very inaccurate.
THS needs this type of search field either zip code or town name.
Or even this type
Please and thank you.

THS really really really really really needs to allow sitters to hide and unhide listings.
I am NEVER going to contact these various home
hosts for a sit, yet they continually come up in my searches when they have live dates:
“5x a day let dog out in yard.”
ME: 8 hours of day light divided by 5x per day in yard.
You do the math.
"4-5x PREFER 6x a day for dog walk. "
ME: Yeah…I’ll train then maybe apply.
“Dog required to sleep in the bed with you…or…dog bed is on master bed for dog to sleep with you.”
ME: Well…you and I travel to the beat of a different drum.
“Thsitter not to stay overnight.”
ME: 
AHHHHH…???
“Dogs and cats don’t get along.”
ME: hard pass.
“Make sure cat doesn’t scratch the furniture.”
ME: Ummmm Sure. But how about when I go out for groceries, sleep, shower…ahh, use the facilities???
“Outdoor cat can be gone for days.”
ME: YAH…nope. hard pass.
“Cat ‘abc’ must enclosed in a room since he attacks the other cats.”
ME: I’m a bit scared by that actually…
“Dog is reactive to other dogs. Ask other dog owners to cross the street.”
ME: Where’s that hide button?
I could go on an’ on from reading listings, as I am looking for a summer sit.
Others can apply to these sits and more power to ya but not me.
I want to hide these listing (and/or unhide), so they don’t show when I am taking the time as a paying member to search for a sit and/or have them come up in my saved searches.
Please and thank you.
SO PLEASE offer a hide option.
Now…some day could a sit senario change? Sure. But allow sitters to access “hidden” listings and “unhide” as desired.
Thsitters really really really really really need to allow sitters to hide and unhide listings.

I think the 7 day rule for last minute sits should be extended to at least 14 days. It must be awful for HO to experience sitters cancelling and they can’t promote their listing until within 7 days of the start date. I believe its unreasonable and should be extended.

The stupid thing about that forum category is when thread titles just say “Last minute sit”. And new forum users (that is the typical case there) cannot edit the title.

I am going n total agreement. My ideal would have been to pet sit all of July and August (due the unbearable heat in my home state of NC) but I had to base my trip on the first sits I had confirmed.
Thus mid-June through end of July. Rather than return home after UK, I’ll stay with family and friends in New England, and even set up one pet-sit there as well.
I would’ve loved to have planned my trip with someone else who also had flexible dates.
Ah, but I really don’t mean to complain. I’m having a fabulous first-time trip to the UK!!! 
I’d like a name or place search facility for archived messages, instead of having to trawl through hundreds, looking for a name and host icon.
I’d also like to be able to delete messages, instead of simply archiving.
I’d like to be able to see how many applicants there are for sits we’ve applied for (this used to be a useful funtion, why remove?).
I’d prefer if sits were listed for a minimum period, even if for just an hour! Today, I was browsing the site, noticed a sit just listed that we’d like to do, clicked on the listing but it went straight to ‘reviewing’ before I had chance to read it. Literally, gone within about 2-3 minutes! I’ve subsequently sat, laptop on knee, all afternoon, just in case it becomes live again (it hasn’t, but you never know!).
