I wonder if my account is active. Why has no one contacted me? Can anyone help me?

How do I attract traffic to my ad?

Yes, your account is active. Here's some guesses why no contact:

  • There are 81 sitters in your greater area (not zoomed into your neighborhood). Of those 34 are competing with you at the same or lower price point. So, there's some competition.
  • You have a cat, so your home may not be as good a fit as some other homes without cats for some dogs.
  • You limit yourself to dogs under 30 lbs. only (totally understandable) which limits the potential amount of clients.
  • You're away for 8 hours Sat / 5 on Sun (the peak demand days), so if the dog is used to having potty relief more frequently, or that conflicts with drop off/pick up times, you may not be the best match.

I'd recommend the best way to drive business is actually face to face interactions, handing out business cards when appropriate or leaving business cards where you can. Some sitters also promote using social media, face book, next door, etc. Hope that helped.
