I recently joined Rover and already have multiple boarding requests for the next several weeks. Since we're still very new at this, I have a few questions on best practices as a sitter.

1. We set our rates lower than average in our area to gain new clients. I was intending to do so after three or four bookings, but we already have five scheduled. If I raise my rates now, will it impact the people who have already booked? Or the requests that are pending but haven't been accepted yet?
2. We have had people make booking requests for several weeks from now, including two at the end of August. When do I schedule a Meet and Greet? If I do it too early, is it worth our time or will the pet forget us?
3. I've read to not accept the booking until after the Meet and Greet, to make sure everything goes smoothly. Do you think that's a good idea in reality? As I said above, I have two requests for the last week of August that are pending, neither have responded about scheduling a Meet and Greet. It seems odd to do a Meet and Greet this week for a boarding a month from now, but how long can I reasonably sit on a pending booking while I wait to meet the animal?

Thanks, and apologies if these are all covered somewhere else, just trying to get a sense of what everyone thinks is the best practice.
