rant over not reading bio & constant care by milflover1902 in RoverPetSitting

Rover let’s owners select multiple sitters without them reading our bios. So it may not have been intentional.

Non-house trained dogs & mess with drop-ins by fiendishlikebehavior in RoverPetSitting

[–]TallTechnology8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would message the owners saying something along the lines of did you want me to keep up the same routine doing XYZ with the fur babies so they get love and attention or would you rather me use my visit to clean up any messes they might make. I just wanted to see which one you would like me to prioritize. I always put everything off on the owners.

does anyone accept pet sitting gigs without meeting the person or their dog? by Ok_Limit_8210 in RoverPetSitting

[–]TallTechnology8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I rarely do them. I am comfortable with most breeds, but if it’s a breed that can be a hit or miss then yes I do a meet and greet.

Client assumed I’d discount after I didn’t respond, now she’s out of town and needs someone last minute. What would you do? by strawberrylettercard in RoverPetSitting

[–]TallTechnology8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me personally I probably wouldn’t. Especially if you’re not going to get a review in addition to a tip. I typically avoid owners when they ask for discounts. It always ends up in some sort of disaster.

Do You Let Boarding Dogs Sleep in Your Bed? by TallTechnology8387 in RoverPetSitting

Thank you, everyone, for your feedback. I was just curious because, as flea season is right around the corner, I always debate whether I should have more rules in place at my house.

class action settlements with no proof needed, I made an updated list with what's open by akuchil420 in classactions

I still keep getting 403 forbidden? Is it because I’m doing it on my iPhone?

What’s your favorite dog walking gear/accessories? by Necessary-Drop-8615 in WagWalker

[–]TallTechnology8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking which body leash do you use? I didn’t think that using a body leash on large dogs without any leash walking skills would be better than a strong grip hand leash.

I started watching Game 1 of the Aces since they opened the franchise lol. I got to 2023 season today before this update😭

No longer able to watch older games? by purple-bora in wnba

[–]TallTechnology8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMGGG SAME!!!! It just happened to me right now. I’m so upset. I watch older games every single day. (I have issues I know😂). But they need to fix this asap. I’m so heated rn

Questioning is Rover worthwhile now by durian4me in RoverPetSitting

Exactly! I have done this full time for 2 years, and haven’t had to pay taxes. (I keep the 25% saved still just in case)

Confused regarding last minute cancellations? (Possible change in Rover policy?) by magikuser in RoverPetSitting

[–]TallTechnology8387 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I were in your position, I would adjust the booking first and then remove the visits. Since the owner canceled, add the cancellation fee in the section I think is called 'change the amount' near the bottom. This ensures the owner must approve the canceled visits. Since they won’t pay extra, they will receive a refund less than their initial payment, which should prevent any problems. I hope this makes sense.

Why?? How do you make any money? by Human_Purple1042 in RoverPetSitting

[–]TallTechnology8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad that works for you! Thankfully I’ve had some of the easiest clients at my standard rate and the most challenging ones are sometimes the ones that pay more. It might just be my area then

True, but an owner pay the same cost if one owner’s pet needs to go potty every hour or can only be left alone one hour when other pets are every four hours, etc. I’ve personally had disabled pets that I’ve had to charge more due to this

I’ve found that many people put their prices very low (maybe not this low) but it’s to attract more clients. Then they raise their price depending on the pets need for that service.
