No sitters interested?

I think I’ve found your listing. It will be an adventage to work on your listing to get more applicants that want to commit. It can be interpreted what is considered red flags in your listing that many sitters will avoid.

In particular the howling part, and what might seem problems with leaving the pets (the howling, but also that they are used to having you around all the time, what seems to be frequent potty walks, sleeping on bed etc.) To attract the right sitters and ensure a good match it is important to be honest and factual and to disclose what the sit actually is. I do however think that a more precise description could be beneficial.

What is the exact daily routine, incl. feeding times, walks, lenght of walks etc.? How long can the pets be left for? You mention that they stay in the kitchen? What would be the setup and lenght for going out? Can the pets be taken with sitters for outings (how, and can you lend a car)?

You mention dogs sleeping on bed. Is that what you do - is it required or optional? Can the pets sleep elsewhere than with sitter? If so, will they go to sleep or make noise (howl…) or could they sleep in your bed and sitter elsewhere? Many sitters value their sleep.

Just a few main issues. If you add your listing to your forum profile you can get help improving it overall.
