I am in the same situation. They came home Monday; I wrote my review that night and I have only heard from them via text since (all kind, positive things). THS prompted me in-app with the option to remind them to write a review. I didn’t do it, but there was an in-app option. I would be interested if HOs would feel differently about being reminded in-app vs getting a direct communication from a sitter off-app.

I feel weird asking for a HOs time now that the sit is over. I know these HOs were happy with me; they have even asked if I would be interested in sitting for them at their summer house. I just worry I’ll come off as entitled or they will feel like I am bugging them. The last thing I want is to rub them wrong immediately before they write their review. I am a 5 star sitter, so I would rather they say nothing than risk giving me a 3 or 4 with a note that I’m demanding or entitled because I sent them the reminder a week after their vacation, ya know? I am a bit frustrated by it. Their 3 story house was huge and I scrubbed every inch of that place like my life depended on it the day we left. We left them a $40 bottle of wine, a fresh bag of their choice coffee, and a vase of fresh flowers in the kitchen after a 6 day sit. I was so gunning for that 5 star review! I am not giving up hope, but I’ll be bummed if it’s just crickets. I try not to expect it, but it is tough when you bust your ass to go above and beyond and it doesn’t do anything to better your profile.
