There are two types of dates that you can add for your sit;

Public - which are posted to your home listing and viewable by all sitters in the community. Public dates are open to applications from any of our registered sitters around the world. 

Private - are dates that have been sent a specific sitter only. These cannot be seen on your home listing and can only be applied to by those who have been invited to them. For instance, you may want to invite a previous sitter back again; rather than posting public dates for anyone to apply to, you could send a private invitation to this sitter in your inbox that only they can see. 

If you would like to send a private invitation to a previous sitter, simply locate them in your inbox and click on the "invite to private dates" button at the top, above your messages. 

You can privately invite more than one sitter at a time if you would like,  meaning only invited sitters could apply to you.
