Hello @Kay and welcome to the community forum. I find it interesting that in the same week there was a post from a new sitter in Toronto voicing frustration that they had yet to be accepted for their first sit. A successful sit - for owner & sitter - requires effort on everyone’s part. The positive outcome - of a successful sit for all concerned - is the reward for the effort that needs to be given. That initial effort is the groundwork that makes it far easier for later sits, once that first sit or sitter occurs.
We are in times when everyone - owners & sitters - needs a Plan B and C. Even well-written listings can benefit from Plan B - where the owner takes steps to search for and directly invite sitters. Unfortunately, it’s realistic that not every listing will be successful, so you do need to be considering that a Plan C may be needed. For now, I suggest you work on taking active steps to search for a sitter.
