answered a question What is the secret to getting appointments?

Have you considered adding another service like boarding? I had just drop in visits and dog walking in the beginning and didn't get any clients for 2 months until I added boarding. You can always block it out later on once you get clients for dog walking and drop in visits. It would probably at least get your foot in the door and help you get reviews. Plus, boarding is really popular this time of year. Good luck! :-)

answered a question Why havent i gotten any requests yet?

It took me about 2 months to get my first booking. At first, I had only signed on to do drop in visits and dog walking. I was getting restless so I added boarding. I also signed up to work on Thanksgiving, and that's when i got my first booking. I'm not sure how many services you offer now, but If you add more, that definitely helps. You can always block it out if it gets to be too much. After boarding for a while, I got great reviews and then started getting drop in visits. Currently, I don't do boarding. However, if I hadn't signed on in the beginning, it probably would have taken me longer to get the first booking. Also, I highly recommend buying a Rover sticker for your car. It will get the word out where you live to people who may not know about Rover. Also, keep your rates low in the beginning. Many people go for the cheapest rates. Hang in there!

I haven't had any drop in visits, but I had someone ask me this question. So, I just want to make sure I answer her question correctly. Thank you!
