You listed in August and have received no applicants.
Suggest that you devise a Plan B.
In meantime, suggest use magnifying glass to search Forum articles on related topics. Housesitting is a trade between peers. If there are no applicants over multiple months then this states that no housesitter considers it to be a fair trade. This could be due to property, location, pet responsibilities, listing photos, listing content or various other reasons.
Please note that Christmas is a time of extreme excess demand for housesitters. Many Pet Parents want to travel. Some housesitters want to stay home with their own families. Indeed a recent Forum thread noted that there are currently over 5000 listings for Christmas period that are still seeking housesitters. That’s a lot.
Otherwise, suggest add THS listing to your THS Forum profile. And, when eligible, you can add the listing to THS Forum ‘Last Minute Sits’.
