What should I expect after summer is over?
Hey everyone! This is my first post here, hopefully I'm doing it correctly. My question is how badly does summer ending affect booking request numbers and is there anything I can do to boost my bookings outside the busy seasons? I became a Rover sitter in May and was fortunate enough to immediately book enough clients to resign from my full time job and stay home to focus on my college work. Now that July is coming to a close I am only getting 1-2 requests a week where beforehand I would get at least 1 request daily. I am fearful that after summer comes to an end I will be barely scraping by! Just trying to get some insight from other sitters doing this full time that have experience. I currently have the cheapest boarding rates in my area ($20/night). Thanks in advance!
I am new to Rover so I'm not sure I have an answer but I do want to bring up another point- cheaper isn't always better! You want to have competitive rates but owners may feel that they are getting less quality with the cheapest rate. So don't sell yourself short, maybe you'll even get more clients
