Blocking time off

Step away for a day, a week, or a season without removing your profile from search.

2 min read·Updated April 15, 2026·For pros

If you're going off-grid, block the dates on your calendar. Your profile stays in search but new requests for those dates are auto-declined with a polite message.

If you're gone more than 14 days
Set an away message on your profile so clients know when you're back. Long unannounced absences hurt your search ranking.
