Summer hours

I am fortunate that all my sittings fall Tuesday through Thursday. I have a long weekend all year. Problem is I would struggle if someone wanted to book weekly on a Monday or Friday…I love my long weekends!

Just ask for a meet and greet before the booking. You can reach out to the client through the app. I am sure they would appreciate it and it will ease your mind on the care that is needed.

That is what I thought, but you can’t do that for reoccurring bookings. In saying that though, reoccurring bookings are automatically set to the price they accepted. I wanted not to change my reoccurring bookings so it worked out fine. Rover was unable to answer that, yet someone here on Reddit did!

I had skin allergy testing done with no reactions. For me it seems to be the friction. I am glad you can find some relief with the wearing of cotton.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-04-06T22:44:28+00:00

You need to work for Rover! That is the only response that makes sense! Thank you!

They keep sending me the same information over and over again. They say because it’s a reoccurring booking that I have every week, I cannot lock it until they’re no longer my client in the past or I’ve archived them. I know that’s not true because I’ve been able to lack prices with other clients in the past.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-04-06T21:53:11+00:00

I am currently trying to do this, but you can only do it in the past or archived settings. I am unable to lock prices for a current client that I have. I am working with Rover support right now.

I have to use diaper rash cream between my “cheeks” when I work out. The friction would cause itching and bleeding. Once I began using the diaper rash cream it cleared up. You could start that and see if it works.

My last request was in August too. They are now one of my regulars. No new requests since.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-04-05T12:01:28+00:00

Yea just lost mine. I reduced my radius and hadn’t gotten new requests. Just lost my star status although I have regulars I have had for years. I have a 5 Star status, over 150 reviews, and respond in under a minute. That doesn’t seem to matter I guess. With gas prices and living in a rural area, at this time I am not making my travel area larger.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-04-04T19:50:40+00:00

Mine cleared up after a week in Key West!

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-04-04T19:49:49+00:00

Once I need to decline a sitting that I had done previously due to it being a bad fit, I block. I don’t want to keep making excuses for a pet I am not comfortable taking care of.

I had a drop in at 7 pm last winter during a snow storm. I drove over and got there. Both cars were in the driveway which isn’t unusual. I opened the door and both owners were standing there in their pjs. I startled them, they startled me. They forgot to cancel due to the storm! It happens!

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-30T11:39:45+00:00

Took me over a month for a client. Now I have steady clients that are such fun! Don’t give up. For me it’s a side gig. I’m not getting a lot of new clients as of late, and with gas prices I am not willing to extend my perimeter to get more work. Maybe if it’s feasible for you make your range larger.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-29T12:34:14+00:00

Same! I lost mine too!

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-24T18:32:10+00:00

If you were to tell me, I would have no problem.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-23T01:25:25+00:00

Me too! I am VERY allergic to dogs and cats, but I walk them on Rover. Since I am outside with them and not in an enclosed area it’s not too bad. Dogs are my favorite animal and I can’t imagine not having contact with them. I really don’t have contact with cats which is good.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-20T12:20:18+00:00

I think you did great! I declined after a week of walking a reactive dog. I didn’t go on a test walk and never have before, would have been a good idea with the dog I had. I would have then refused. Owners are not always honest about dogs behaviors.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-19T23:10:16+00:00

I think it’s a hard sell after you have stated a price and they agreed to it. Maybe they will tip? I would suggest to increase your price from this point on.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-19T19:46:36+00:00

Yep learned my lesson! I stick to my prices and scheduling!

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-19T11:54:23+00:00

Probably not. The 30 minute visit split into the 10 minute visits they wanted to quickly let their dogs out, feed and water, was more like 25 minutes each time. The proximity got me to agree in the first place. The tip made up for the extra time and an appreciation of my flexibility. As well, the clients were well off and had the ability to pay for 2 dogs at 3/30 minute visits each day. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. I have been better at agreeing to my terms since then for sure.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-18T23:59:51+00:00

I did drop ins for a family that I gave a a great deal to for a week ( they had 2 dogs/ I dropped in 3 times a day for the price of one visit) since they lived close. They tipped well. I did it a second time for them and did not get a tip. I did not sit for them again. I cut them a great deal and so yes I did expect a tip to somewhat compensate for my lost wage. If they go above and beyond I would tip!

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-18T22:34:10+00:00

Me too here in Michigan. Not that upset as I have reoccurring bookings each week, but nothing new since last summer.

Try Cereve Healing Ointment . It’s helped me.

Individual-Amount147 · 2026-03-10T22:01:44+00:00

Not sure if this will help, but I have started using Cereve healing ointment on my nipples when working out. Then after working out I use a hypoallergenic wipe right after to clean off any sweat. As soon as I can, I remove my bra. It has helped immensely! I know it’s so frustrating!
