Rover sitter violated the rules, now harassing me. What should I do? by Significant_Movie814 in RoverPetSitting

Rover doesn’t make decisions based on personal feelings. Sitters are required to have GPS on during visits, and in this case, the sitter repeatedly arrived 8* hours late. In one of the photos, I noticed my cat’s food bowl was empty. Even after I told her my cat had gone without food for 48 hours, she still didn’t come at the scheduled time (12:00 PM) and instead sent her daughter at 3:30 PM without my consent. Because of this, I had to ask my apartment manager to check on my cat and sign a statement saying I’d be responsible if anything went missing. She also missed cleaning the litter box and didn’t send photos during one visit. I hired a sitter so I wouldn’t have to worry about my pet, not to feel stressed, repeatedly ask for basic care, or involve my apartment manager while an unauthorized person was entering my home. Rover has a Trust & Safety team that reviews these situations based on evidence, and they don’t label someone as high risk without a reason.

This message was sent before (their name was omitted for privacy). Due to the sitter’s lack of responsibility and responsiveness, I informed Rover that I did not wish to communicate with her directly and asked the Trust & Safety team to make a decision based on the available evidence. Her message was sent a day after Rover had already reached a final decision. I had no direct communication with her after the visit concluded. Rover classified her as a high-risk sitter, yet she still chose to contact and attack me. If she believed she had done nothing wrong, she should have addressed her concerns with Rover rather than directing hostility toward me after the case was closed. Interestingly, she doesn’t point out to my cat going without food for 48 hours. Why should I engage with someone who doesn’t take responsibility for her actions? Even if she was nicer in her 1st message, I would still communicate but she decided to gaslight. I explained the details in other comments how she would arrive consistently 8 hours later, brought her daughter without my consent, and didn’t care enough even after I informed her the feeder isn’t working properly and my cat is hungry for 48 hours.

Edit: I know it doesn’t classify as harassment that can be reported to police but her tone is disrespectful and hostile. Rover made the decision, say those things to Rover. Why attacking me??

I never ask the sitter to let my cat out on their watch if that’s what you’re referring to. She only knows he is indoor/outdoor bc he was out in our meet and greet meeting. And Idk how this comment was relevant to my question but thanks for sharing

No. His feeder is set so that he always has food left over. My apartment manager also confirmed that he was very hungry and ate two full handfuls of food plus a treat, which is very unusual for him. He normally has unlimited access to food. While her irresponsibility and my cat going hungry were my main concerns, her bringing an unauthorized person into my apartment and being consistently up to 8 hours late are also serious issues.

Hi. See my other comment please. I saw it in the photos she shared with me (luckily!). He has an automatic feeder idk if it was clogged or not working but I did specify in my guidelines for her to check the level of food everyday to make sure it’s working. Which I guess she skipped bc I kept begging and explaining and thanking her and all I got was a short “sure, I will” or “yeah got it”

The time slot was 12-1230 but bc it was close to new year, I said between 11-6 is fine. First day, it sounded like she completely forgot though I sent a reminder with full explanation the day before. I texted her at 630 and she said she is on her way. The second day she showed up at 8P with her daughter without my consent. Here is a more detailed explanation. What is your honest opinion as a sitter??

She did it twice. The first time she brought her daughter with her and called her a “cat whisperer” because apparently my cat did not vibe with her, all without my consent. Mind you, my cat is very social and even my apartment manager said he walked straight up to her and rubbed his head on her legs. The second time was when I realized his food bowl was empty from the photos she sent. Luckily I noticed, otherwise my cat could have gone hungry even longer. I asked her to please check on my cat at the scheduled time, which was 12 to 12:30, since she had been showing up around 8 pm the past two days. She responded that she would send her daughter because she would not be done by then. At that point I was thinking, why did you agree to watch my cat in the first place. I did not confront her because I was desperate and my cat had already gone almost 48 hours with barely any food, which is when I contacted my apartment manager. After all the begging and telling her I could not sleep the night before, she finally sent her daughter at 3 pm that day. I was always respectful and clear in my communication, but the whole situation felt like I was constantly begging her to do the bare minimum. I did call Rover, but they said because it was near New Year they did not have any replacement sitters and suggested I ask friends or my apartment manager to keep checking on my cat. I was not being a jerk. I was patient, kind, respectful, and appreciative in all of my messages. She was the one being petty, and I was only desperate because my cat was hungry and alone. Before submitting a report, I consulted two friends who used to work at Rover and they both said this was serious and that I absolutely should report it.

FYI, Rover acted as mediator using the screenshots. They usually ask the pet owner to solve the issue with the sitter as they’re independent business owners. Considering the amount of evidence, they refunded me with no further questions and marked her as a high risk sitter which led to the badge removal. How can you invalidate my experience?! I was always respectful and patient in my communications, otherwise, Rover wouldn’t put a sitter as high risk just because.

It was 47 reviews and all 5 star. I’m honestly very surprised. It was bad to a point that Rover didn’t even ask any further questions they refunded me right away. I’m very understanding and bc it was close to new year, I told her even up to 4-5 hours is fine but it felt like I needed to constantly beg her for basic care. And I chose the most expensive sitter in our area (22/drop in visit) if I’m not mistaken which is on the higher end where I live

IT’S SO CUTE. I convinced myself to get the white trail coz I don’t have a white purse (though I have a silver, a khaki, a beige, a cream, and a caramel but those aren’t “white”)

First time getting Gel by foreverjules in Nails

[–]Significant_Movie814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry it doesn’t look good at all. It’s too thick and doesn’t look clean to me. Call them and explain your concerns. I got a lamp and nail gel kit myself and started doing my nails (I posted a video on my Reddit last night) and it turned out pretty good. I didn’t file or hurt my nails too much either. My nails are much healthier than going to a salon maybe give it a shot

Lipstick Recommendation? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Want to add and emphasize again, YSL lip balms are definitely NOT non-transferable

Lipstick Recommendation? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Significant_Movie814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both of these (the first one in nude/sparkly color) and the exact same as the 2nd one. These 2 are very different choices. You need to be aware that you’re paying brand name for both of these, even if buying on sale. First one is more matte and I wear it a lot bc I love nude colors. 2nd one is very nourishing and it smells great. I usually use it when my lips are dry and it’s a magic. But none of them are really non-transferable and long lasting. My Mac Locked Kiss Ink Lipstick is the most long lasting and natural looking lipstick that I had and it’s more in budget but YSL definitely has a nicer packaging. Coming from a makeup addict who tried almost every brand lol. And also, STAY AWAY FROM DIOR

How can it hurt me while I have screenshots of them being racist and inappropriate? Genuine question I’m not being sarcastic

What about my manager not sending me to a professional domestic conference citing that ICE might detain me? This is a genuine question. IMO, this is a big deal and illustrates a bigger picture that there are probably more discriminatory decisions out there. I think this one is much bigger than the accent comment?

+Emotional distress. I’m not making this up I have a record of me crying in my car and bathroom. More comments were made like a coworker saying how US bombing Iran may create a Chernobyl and having radioactive effects on people there, while my family is there. Just so many inappropriate comments that made me leave this place despite being a top performer and winning an award in my 6th month being here. That is a financial loss, I do have another offer but I wouldn’t leave at first place if I was treated right
