How to add or change 'States' for new ad alerts

On "Your account" page in your Mindahome control panel, as well as ticking the 'Receive notifications of new sitting positions' checkbox, you have also ticked 'Same States as in your profile' so you can either go to your Public Profile page and add the extra states there or stay on "Your account" page and un-tick 'Same States as in your profile' then add the extra states on that page.

Have you tried our app for mobile phones? As well as having all the current mobile phone functions, the app can receive instant notification of new sitting positions as soon as they are listed on the website throughout the day. You can also receive more targeted notifications in accordance with your house sitting preferences by using the 'Saved this search' feature on the home owners list page. There is a download link for the app on your 'How to' page in your Mindahome control panel.

The default setting for new sitting position notifications is to send them in accordance with the sitters preferences on their "Your account" page in their Mindahome control panel. For more targeted notifications, for example, "only listings with cats within 50 kilometres of Sydney", use the "Save this search" feature on the home owners list page Search Panel. To do this: On the home owners list page in the search panel click "Show additional filters". Make your selection from the filters available and when done, click the orange "Search" button at the bottom.

Next click "Save this search" found beneath the orange "Search" button. Your "Saved search" will now take precedence over your notification choices on "Your account" page. For two locations, for example 20km around Sydney and 20km around Brisbane, you will need to save two searches. After saving the first search, you will need to click the 'Reset' link before performing and saving the second search.
