HI @ctay122 , there is no way to know if a sitter is looking for a sit in Virginia unless they have stated it on their profile or saved your listing as a favorite. Chances are if a sitter has favorited your listing but not applied, they are not available.
Two suggestions: If you add your listing to your forum profile, forum members will be able to give you helpful feedback. I would also suggest you send invitations to newer sitters in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and North Carolina. Since so few people update their availability calendar, it’s really only useful for seeing if they are already booked for a sit on your dates.
