Is this suspicious, probably:
“ps— hope I hit my goal of responding in <5min like I said in my ad!”

I found a good cat-sitter through Rover and would do crime if she made it a condition of her next visit.
Several folks have noted that my immediate reply threw them for loops. One told me she thought it was spam that I responded so quickly.
Rover has a “Star Sitter” designation and response time is one of the metrics. Star Sitters show up at the top of the algorithm’s results so I’m incentivized to keep it up. Plus; I absolutely despise waiting forever for others to reply and I want to make sure I get bookings, knowing there are MANY available sitters in my area.
I never would have thought it was spammy or suspicious AI behavior. Thank you for cementing it in my mind that maybe I’m a little too eager. Considering I’m entirely booked out until mid-October, I’m either doing something right or people are that desperate for a good human to watch their pup for them.
