The past few days I've reached out to 17 sitters. Here is the breakdown of what happened:

2 of them was already booked (though their profiles showed that they were open) 5 of them were out of town (though their profiles showed that they were open) 4 of them were not available (though their profiles showed that they were open) 2 of them didn't reply to the message 1 of them stopped replying to messages after a few were exchanged

3 of them actually got back to me

This is after someone from Rover Match messaged a few people for me. 2 of the three people that got back to me were from Rover Match, but only after I followed up with a 2nd message after they ignored the first one.

My question is: Is this normal? Or is it possible that there's a black mark on my account? Or am I not presenting myself in the best way?
