Hi Kristen,
I checked out your listing and have a few suggestions if you’re open to them.
You have really fabulous pictures of Ralphie, but all the “home” photos such as your bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen are all taken from weird angles and/or with the lights off, so they are not very enticing. Remember, taking care of Ralphie is part of the deal, but having a comfortable place to stay is the other part. If people aren’t enticed by your listing, they will likely pass it up.
Second, you start your listing off by saying you’ve joined the site because Ralphie has anxiety. There are ways to get your message across, but it a better light. For example, “I travel from time to time for XYZ reason and my sweet playful boy Ralphie really enjoys human companionship and doesn’t like to be alone.”
Look through your listing and see if there are any areas in which you can still tell the truth, but with a positive spin as you point out many of his negative flaws. Which, I understand you want to make sitters fully aware of the situation, but there needs to be a balance to attract sitters.
Another suggestion would be to look at other listings for inspiration on how you could word your listing. I do that from time to time looking at other sitters profiles to see what kind of information they are sharing and how they describe themselves.
