Profile Suggestions?

Hello,

I am new to Rover and am an excited sitter. I am looking to be a sitter full-time and would appreciate suggestions on how to improve my profile. I am wondering if other sitters would look at my profile and offer any feedback? What seems to be a positive and any negatives? What else would you want to see when deciding who should sit for your dogs? I would also really appreciate ways in which to promote your services. I have made flyers and business cards but am open to how other sitters have gained clientele.

Thanks so much in advance, I have gotten a lot of tips and help via the FB group and this Q and A section.

One you should adjust your drop-in rates and walk rates to be equal - 30 minute visits should pay the same.

You show limited availability for your services - if you can change your availability that will help in searches.

Your service area appears to be pretty large, I would suggest it be no larger than 10 miles

Consider changing your headline "Dog Walker Ypsilanti, Michigan" to something more creative. And the majority of your about me section sentences start with "I" consider a rewrite to correct this.

Hey Brianna, took a quick glance at your profile and here's what I saw.

There's a line in your About You that reads "I hope to be able to meet new dogs and dog parents, am reliable and eager to meet new fur friends." I'd recommend rewriting that a little, as the sentence seems a bit repetitive.

Also it might be a good idea to add a bit more in the section "when Brianna watches your dog". Perhaps include other activities you could partake in with someone's pet, such as tummy rubs and owner approved treats? I have met a couple owners who are hesitant about the dogs being taken on a walk, if it's a shorter sitting assignment, as some breeds (cough cough huskies) can be little escape artists. In those situations offer an alternative such as playing fetch in the backyard? Clients want to know that you'll follow their care instructions and will keep their family safe while they're away.

Best of luck!
