HI @Abtisam1 and welcome! Your pups look cute & sound easy to care for but if you want a sitter then you probably need to add some pics of the kitchen, lounge, living space in your home to attract sitters (there is a lot of competition in your area and a lot of sits with "low applications). Is there any flexibility on a 530am start as that’s tough on a lot of sitters? Also on whether the pups need to sleep with the sitters as that’s also a deal breaker for a lot of people? Plus, could you pick up a sitter without a car from a train station if they can order in groceries for an 8 day sit as that too will add appeal? If you can add those pics and flex on those few things then that would help on a last minute gig. #bestofluck
Hi @Cuttlefish thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely add some more inside house pictures, and add something about being able to pick them up.
On the 5:30 wake up- trust me, I’d change it if I could, but Savannah wakes up at that time and there’s not much I can do about it. I’d rather be honest than have a sitter be mad about it.
Sleeping arrangements: all of our dogs have slept with us from day one. The only way to keep them out of our bed at night would be to close the door on them, and I do not want the door closed on them at night,. Plus, then my little dog would have to be kenneled at night, which would be unfair to her. And again, I just want to be honest with any sitter.
Thank you for your feedback. I have been a member of Trusted House Sitters for around five years, with 30+ sitters, and I have never received any feedback, so I do truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful day.
Super welcome & love the honesty 
If it’s early it’s early! Oddly I could only see one sitter on your profile that had been twice so thought you might need help but you’re already pros. Hope you find someone fab! #fingerscrossedforyou
