how do i start making appointments

Have you been approved yet? You can't start work until rover approves your application. After that, use the tools and suggestions from Rover to start advertising your business. Get business cards, post ads to craigslist, Facebook, etc. Check other sitters' rates in your area to make sure your rates are in line with the area. Get a few reviews from past sitting assignments or from friends who can vouch for your dog sitting experience. It may take awhile to get your first client, but they will come.
