A few points that may help you:

1. AngelList has a backlog of submission on the investor and startup sides. It may be you just haven't been reviewed yet.

2. Add more info. When you think you have enough, add more. Info on your startup, fill out bios of key people, etc. etc.

2a. Unless you have figured out how to print money, you at some point have to sell something to someone. If you can't put effort into selling yourself on AngelList, that shows investors you are bad at running a business.

2b. See item #1. Someone at AngelList has to review your application and work directly with it. Do you call up customer service and refuse to give your account number? Of course not. You are less likely to get exposure if the employees of AngelList don't have to do a bunch of leg work to complete your app for you.

3. You may just have a horrible idea. As much as AngelList is a service for startups, it is a service for investors as well. It is possible your "Foursquare for Pets" was just marked as hidden.

4. Your AngelList submission is not the template for your final term sheet. List numbers on the low end to drum up interest, and if you have a good idea demand will swing things into your favor.
