What should I do if a sitter does not respond to my request?

Sitters have 72 hours to respond.
However, we strongly recommend not waiting the full 72 hours if you do not receive a reply within the first few hours.
To maximize your chances of confirming a booking quickly, it is best to contact several sitters in parallel.
Here are a few tips to find a sitter faster:

• Prioritize highlighted profiles: our algorithm naturally promotes sitters who respond quickly and positively.
• Check the last connection badge: profiles showing “X hours ago” or “online” are more likely to respond quickly.
• Avoid profiles with a high refusal rate: this information is also displayed in the badges.
  Sending multiple requests from the beginning significantly increases your chances of finding the right match!
