Two Questions Please Help

  1. I'd like anyone who can to please look at my profile & let me know anything you see that I should improve on or change. Any feedback, preferably good and bad, is very MUCH appreciated!!
    1. Is there any other sites anyone else has signed up for and found it to be very useful and brings more customers? I like Rover but I want to make this my full time job and want to sign up to more sites for Sitters. Thanks everyone! ๐Ÿค˜ **P. S. I am a very hard worker and take pride in everything I do and want to promote a good business for myself and I need advice for ANYTHING you can think of thanks.

One thing lacking are dog pictures in your profile, you can always use pictures of your dog friends. Doing a search for boarding in Ocala I found your are priced higher than the sitters who have the most reviews and repeat clients, this tells me you are too high right now and the same goes for rates for the other services. Many siters start with lower prices and gradually raise them as they get clients and reviews. Take a look at the highly reviewed sitters in your area.

This tells potential clients you are doing this for the money "I am trying to start my own business and I feel this is my perfect opportunity" And your about me section needs to be reformatted as it displays your wording in brief 3-5 words then jumps to the next line this makes it difficult to read. And far too many sentences start with the word I, so have a stab at a rewrite.

And finally for many new sitters it can takes months to get their first few bookings and start to build a good client base. Best of luck

Good attitude! I'm about 3 months in on Rover, and these are some things I've learned that might be helpful in tweaking your profile: 1. Pics - too many of yourself, and no dogs. This is the area where you can showcase your living space/where you live, as well as pics of dogs you've cared for, or owned in the past. Remember your clientele--dog lovers! 2. Write up - Way too lengthy. No paragraphs to separate info out. Typos, starting in your attention line. In the section, 'what you'd like to know about their dog', you have about a paragraph's worth of info before you actually answer that. Lastly, what I personally found very helpful was to look at the profiles of the very successful sitters in my area, to get ideas from their writing styles.

Also, as Walt already mentioned, you may want to take another look at your pricing..if successful Rover sitters in your area are charging less, there's a good reason for it.

Overall take is, cut 1/2 the words, and make the ones you use REALLY count. Find your niche among the sitters in your area. I wish you the best! Cindy
