I have updated my availability, and the date range and services she is requesting fit with my profile. I'm trying to figure out if something else needs to be updated on my profile.
And I searched for a dog walker and you also showed up page 1 #7 I also noticed you have a huge service area defined and that may be causing an issue with searches, consider setting it no larger than 10 miles. Best of luck
You show up for me when I searched house sitting with a September date. In fact, you were #7 on the first page, which is excellent positioning.
I'm not sure what your mother is doing wrong.
Sitter search defaults to looking for those offering boarding service, which you don't offer. It possible your mother didn't realize this and didn't search for you under the services you offer.
