Withdrawing applications after no communication from HO

[GotYourBack]

Multiple applications?

We often have multiple applications out at once, and then it is a case of first come,first served for the home hosts. We never withdraw applications until we have been officially accepted by another host. We have a sit coming up shortly where the home host did not reply to our application for 5 weeks! Luckily for us, and them, we were still available!

@Newpetlover, we tend to leave applications open for a good few days.
I provided relevant comment yesterday on a different thread. Bottom line is that we perceive two types of housesit - feature and filler. For feature housesits then we leave applications open as, for some reason, we’re super keen to progress the sit. For filler housesits, we don’t chase too hard as we are typically progressing concurrent applications - so slow responders get weeded out after a confirmation is made.
