@Laurie5 well done on figuring out how to add your listing.
I am a sitter , so the suggestions I’m giving come from just my sitter’s perspective . Others may have different opinions.
You describe the area and things to do and make it sound very appealing - could you add some photos of the Blue Ridge mountains and local attractions?
The kitchen- unwashed dishes in the sink … this makes me think if the homeowner didn’t wash the dishes and tidy up for the photo - will the place be clean and tidy for my arrival ? This is a deal breaker for many sitters.
The bedroom - there’s only one bedroom shown so presumably this is where the sitter will sleep it shows a slope to assist the dogs to get on the bed - do all 5 of the dogs sleep on the bed with you ? Is it a deal breaker if the sitter doesn’t want the dogs sleeping with them ? Whatever your expectations are regarding sleeping arrangements they all should be clearly outlined in the listing .
“None of my dogs have to be walked”
that’s less work but also some sitters choose dog sits because they want to go hiking with a dog - and that leads on to another question you say it’s a great area for hiking trails- fabulous- but if the dogs can’t come with me how long can I leave them at home alone for ? -this needs to be mentioned in the listing .
And as other have said you show pee pads in the photos but it’s not mentioned in the listing so this will raise questions.
As a sitter, I can’t reach out to you and ask these questions unless I apply , so I would probably skip past your listing … but if all the answers are in your listing that would give me all the information I need .
I hope this helps .
