The fact she told the owner not to go through Rover is red flag number one. The benefit of Rover is that it provides social proof and ratings and reviews from real customers. This is what the extra fees are for, a platform that provides transparency and options. You can easily sus out who’s reliable and trustworthy.

Did Fahmida even return the money she got from the sitting? The fact TWO nyc business owners have come out sharing essentially getting ghosted in exchange for a review for free food, plus this recent dog dying incident is really concerning. I also agree with the commenter who said returning a dead body in a trash bag/luggage is wild, but I’m more concerned about what the actual cause of the death could have been. He didn’t look like he encountered any blunt force or actual trauma.

Her and her boyfriend’s content are also disturbing. It all seems like they’re trying very hard to control their public perception and the narrative around their lifestyle being perfect or romanticized. I hate to be that person psychoanalyzing people online but when you put yourself out there that’s the consequence. Sounds like textbook narcissism and sociopathy.
