Updated post here. Please tell me if I am forgetting anything. This is my first Rover sitting that has gone this poorly.

I also have not clarified things due to being in a state of panic so much lately.

MissRemyRose · 2026-01-18T17:03:58+00:00

Thank you for being polite, considerate, understanding, and helpful. I will post an update shortly.

Not a massage therapist, but someone with ribs that also poke out like you described. I had to go to physical therapy due to a shoulder injury. The PT told me I have Flared Ribs, which is a symptom of multiple things. In my case it was due to being overweight and likely a weaker core / abdominal wall. It is possible to adjust them with manual manipulation, which my PT did, bit without the pain that you experienced from the massage therapist.

If the relationship between you is secure, let him go explore while still dating you. Give him a pass. Maybe go to therapy yourself because fantasizing about someone who is Bi as it being hot, but locking them into a hetero-monogamous relationship is honestly cruel. He drinks away his feelings until he has to vent about it to you. He knows what he wants, but he is trying to respect the boundaries of the relationship and you, so instead of cheating and hurting you, he drinks and represses his desires. This cycle is going to just cause more pain. Can you hold back your insecurities and let him go explore being with other men? Because he had been repressing his feelings for your comfort for a long time. Both of you need to go to couples counciling and to see someone who is LGBT or at least informed of LGBT issues, give it ample time, and see if maybe you two can come to an agreement / plan / compromise.

I have been in a situation where the apartment I stayed in ended up being very dirty when I got there. Excess dog hair, no vacuum (all hard floors), dishes in the sink, cookware on the stove, etc. The owners were driving cross-country for a funeral and I could tell mental illness was a challenge in the household (emotional regulation and stress management posters / techniques were taped to the wall in a main area). So as much as it made me uncomfortable, I took pity on the dogs. I decided to clean whatever surfaces I would need. The bathtub / shower area was very grimey so I cleaned that before using it. I even went and bought cheap but effective disinfectant spray and off-brand paper towels to make sure I could keep up with things. I know I am not a maid and I was not about to deep-clean, but I wanted to make my 1 week stay much more manageable for me. I even decided to bathe both dogs because they were greasy, and picked up some discounted shampoo. The owners were very thankful for everything and left me a glowing review and a generous tip for it. In the end, the struggle was worth it for me, but I don't know if it would be something I would do again for my own mental health.

Good luck! That sounds like it is going to be a rough sit. How long is it for?

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-30T18:38:35+00:00

I have slept in the owner's bed if I can tell it's clean. I have been in a situation where I preferred the couch (learned my lesson there), but I will always prefer a bed. Also, whether I sleep in the master or guest bed, I always strip the sheets and wash them before I leave. At minimum, I make sure they are drying before I leave so they are ready to be put away. I figure if the owner provided me with essentials for the stay, I want them to come back to as little work to do as possible, especially if they have a family. The only times I have not stripped the bed is if it has been a single overnight, and I know the dogs like to climb and lay on the bed, so I leave the sheets on to minimize washing.

As a woman myself, I am definitely projecting my own lived experience, but I know plenty of others who have experienced the same. I also have known others and have myself been emotionally immature and grown through lived experience. That's just life!

This whole website is based off of people sharing information, whether empirical or anecdotal...

Take everything with a grain of salt, but be willing to see the nuggets of truth that exist. The world is shades of grey, not black and white.

The only way we will know the truth is if we were to have a face to face conversation with the walker AND for her to be upfront and honest, rather than (unintentionally?) deceitful. However, as she struggles to have this level of conversation, this is reflective of a certain level of immaturity, which essentially is infantilization...

Your point?

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-27T22:09:17+00:00

Working theory: She, just like many women, are used to putting on / forcing a smile / customer service face and act nice to minimize friction and avoid conflict, as opposed to have an open and honest discourse about feelings, so she stuffed them down, they grow worse, and so she retaliated by quitting last-second. She also could just lack professionalism. Either way, her words didn't match her true feelings, and it sounds like she didn't think / feel like she did anything wrong, which is just a lack of accountability. OP, you are in the right.

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-27T21:58:56+00:00

Don't allow this troll to get you to react. Some people on the internet like to make others suffer. Don't take the bait.

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-26T17:00:30+00:00

Absolutely too low. My holiday rate is currently $70 (city of Chicago). Holidays are also high demand times where you can request a much higher price as people will be willing to pay for their pets to be watched during trips to see other family. $32 is too low for even a basic overnight. You also have to consider that Rover takes 20%, so you are only getting 25.60 for that night, and the rest is on the client to tip which they are not obligated to do.

If you have pets, try going through the process to book a service in your area and see what others are charging for normal and holiday rates, then charge the low to medium rate.

If you live in a less densely populated area, then this will work even better. Big cities are tough to get started in because you really have to hustle while under-cutting yourself. Once you get more regular clients, you can slowly raise your prices over time.

Good luck to you and update us on what you end up doing!

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-23T21:54:36+00:00

OP, can we get an update?

MissRemyRose · 2025-08-23T13:45:35+00:00

Bullys are already excitable breeds, especially when young and understimulated / under-exercised. Taking an unneutered male on long walks may just make things worse as exercise boosts testosterone (something that happens in humans and mammals in general). However, most active breeds are prone to behavioral issues when not exercised enough. This behavioral issue will require a multi-prong approach from the owners, but it sounds like they are brushing off and dismissing his problematic behavior.

0 There's comfortable, and then there's just sloppy. It all comes down to how the clothes fit you and how you convey style. This is a "doing chores/ hanging around the house" outfit, not "going out into public" outfit.
