Take into consideration that many homeowners do not advertise their assignments; they prefer to search the database and contact the house sitter of their choice. That is why it is very important for you to take the time and place a desirable ad to increase the possibilities of being chosen.
To be chosen depends on several things. It is important to create and attractive ad in order to increase your chances.
The way that you present yourself, present your qualifications, will give you power as a good house sitter and is the key for getting chosen by the homeowners. Keep in mind, while creating your ad that you are selling yourself to the homeowner. You have to answer the question: Why would a homeowner decide that I am the best choice to take care of his home and beloved pets?
The homeowners are entrusting their most valuable things to you. They will choose people who meet their needs.
Describe yourself in a way that goes with your personality.
Here are some tips as what you might include in your ad:
v Duration: it is important that you specify your availability. There are
short and long term assignments. The more flexible you are the greater
the opportunities that will be presented to you.
v Pet Lover: make sure to specify if you are good with dogs and cats.
v Green thumb: homeowners rather choose somebody that love plants and
can take care of the garden.
v Marital Status: specify if you are single, couple or family. Different
strokes for different people.
v Homebody: there are some homeowners that would prefer someone
who is at home most of the time rather that at work.
