Moving across country soon, not sure how to set calendar?

I have been a Rover sitter for several months now. I just made the decision to move from Phoenix to Chicago. I want to continue pet sitting once I complete the move. I know there is an away status if you're taking a vacation or will be away for a short while. However, I am not sure how to set my calendar preferences for now. I want to continue accepting sitting gigs until I move at the end of December but there doesn't appear to be a feature to block off months at a time or to set a new address for future bookings. I am concerned once it gets closer to the end of the year, that I will start to get requests for 2018 in Phoenix and I don't want to refuse them or my performance scores will go down significantly. Should I just leave my profile as is until my move date? And not worry about my performance scores? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

PS โ€“ If anyone has done this before, how did you politely let your current recurring clients know about your move? I have watched several pets on 4 to 5 different occasions and I know their owners will be very disappointed. I don't want to tell them too soon before my move because I'm afraid they'll move on to another sitter in the meantime.

Once you are certain you no longer want to accept clients in your old location you should set your services to away. Once you move you can set your services back to active https://www.rover.com/account/profile...

Your other option is to change your availability after a certain date in your calendar, this help section article shows you how. https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/ar...
