I'm a sitter and I'm not getting contacted by home owners

Not all home owners go through and search the sitters list and then contact those whose profile appeals to them, and those that do may only contact a handful. The majority of our home owners register and wait to be contacted by available sitters so you need to be proactive and be one of the first or among the first to contact an owner. Experienced sitters won't wait for the daily morning notification, they check the site sometimes twice a day to make sure that, if there is a job posted that suites them, they are one of the first to contact the home owner.
