This. Sounds like the HOs know they have the advantage (supply/demand). They can take their time reviewing apps. At least they didn’t reject you yet. But yeah, don’t let this hold you up from applying to other sits.
Now, if you’re really keen on this sit, you can consider being more proactive:
- In your forum profile, link to your sitter profile.
-
Ask people on the forums to help you improve your profile even more. And maybe you can link to the listing you applied for. (that might get redacted)
-
You can still message the HOs that you applied to. So you could try stuff from “just checking in” to “I updated my profile and I want to reiterate how much I would love to sit for your pets” to “if there’s anything I can do to improve my odds of getting this sit” to “if you have any questions for me,” etc.
Have fun!
