I’m wondering if others have had this experience? I have 2 applicants, and I’ve reached out to both. One never responded at all, but they did read it. The second has responded a few times and wanted to set up something for this past weekend. I think they last messaged on a Wednesday. I responded right away with some options for a Saturday chat. They never responded, though they did read it. I pinged them again. Saturday came. I messaged asking if Sunday was better. They never responded. It’s now Monday.
I’m getting increasingly stressed as I really need a sitter. We are actually traveling with friends who would normally watch our pets, and have no family nearby.
I don’t want to incessantly message and bother anyone, but also wonder why apply for something and then just ghost.
Great points from @bakindoki. Be sure to decline those two applicants so that your sit goes down to zero applicants instead of 2. And perhaps deactivate your listing for a few minutes and re-list your dates so that it shows up as a new listing - this will attract more sitters again.
I did post this at the end of last year, so about 2 months notice. I tried to give as much notice as I could.
Can I ask what you mean by boost your listing?
And also how to check who saved my listing? I was trying to find that this morning on the app. Wondering if perhaps I need to do that through the browser instead?
