You need to hugely improve the wording of your profile. We’re a couple in our 50’s/60’s who sit full time. Don’t get me wrong, you’ve a lot of good things in your profile, so that’s great, but you have forgot to include a caring/loving element, it needs descriptive feeling/emotional words. So please don’t take offence, I hope this helps you.
Owners need to know who you are instantly, and it all needs to create a full and rounded picture, and in yours there are too many things that are instantly mismatching, so you’ve lost the trust element that owners need about you, for example:
Your headline is “Retired responsible quiet lady who takes care of her own house and yours too”… but you’ve got a couple’s profile, so you need to write it as a couple. My partner wasn’t keen to pet sit in strangers homes to begin with… until we actually did our first sit, and then he loved it straight away.
“takes care of her own house and yours too” - a lot of sitters have their own place, so it says nothing different about you both as a people, but having your own place is definitely something worth mentioning in your profile, just not as the main ‘selling point’ of you in the headline. Think of your characteristics you possess (as a couple), that would benefit an owner, use those words in your headline. Look at other sitter’s profiles to pinch some ideas.
Your experience part has great, fantastic, brilliant factual sentences, but it’s also the first section that owners read at the moment, and again it says nothing about your character/personality traits. Add a human element to those facts, like why love to care for your daughters pets. It’s too robotic, you aren’t writing a CV, you’re asking to take care of someone beloved pets, so back up those facts with a little love and tlc element. Ask yourself who you want to pet sit for you, would you pick someone who had simply pet sat before, or would you prefer to pick a warm, kind, friendly, caring, animal lover.
About Steph & Don - doesn’t say what Don is retired from… so you’re leaving a question in an owners head as to who Don is. Leave no question unanswered. Also you ‘could’ incorrectly give the impression that you are a disjointed couple and that you may argue, and no one wants that for their pets or their neighbours.
Your ‘why you want to pet sit’ part needs improvement. What you’ve said covers the majority of sitters on THS, you need it to be more personal to you.
Also, you need to add more images, and again, you’ve excluded Don. If you’re stuggling to get good images from what you have, then ask your neighbours with pets if they’ll let you take a pic of their pets with you and Don, or get yourselves to a cat cafe or dog cafe etc. Then replace those images when you do some sits.
Hope that helps
