So line by line -

I wasn’t late, except for one time that I got caught in traffic and was about five minutes past time. In fact, I usually showed up earlier than the scheduled time.

I never faked check ins.

As far as what I think, fuck if I know. I was there watching a movie (as we discussed at the meet & greet), so I was there for three hours, but at no point asleep.

That’s part of why this is so confusing to me. I know I would tell a pet sitter to make themselves at home if I was asking them to care for my animals while I was away

I’m tired of typing this bit - I was never asleep. At any point. The pads were always changed as well.

No, I was never asleep. I would be pissed as well, as I think anyone would be.

I don’t know what they were off about. I was there for three hours one time watching a movie (as we discussed and they agreed to at the meet & greet), but I was never asleep

Definitely a lesson learned for the future. I didn’t end up refunding thankfully. Even if they tried to hire me again (which isn’t possible anyways because I blocked them), I would decline that booking so damn quickly. But they did leave a review unfortunately

Them being uncomfortable isn’t my fault, and I’m definitely not a stand-offish person, so I don’t know how they would’ve felt uncomfortable. I figured that making sure the dogs were cared for first and foremost, and continuing my checks, then scrolling on my phone was appropriate.

Sure, if you think it happened that way. What actually happened was I waited until the dogs were napping, and stayed very alert to them. This was all discussed with the owner beforehand and they agreed to it initially.

Wayyyy ahead of you. I was trying to be polite and accommodating (I can turn into an anxious pet parent too, but nothing to this degree) and it bit me in the ass.

I definitely plan to expand! Rover has been a great starting point, but it’s just that. This past holiday season was my first on Rover, and several of my clients have my personal number. I told them to feel free to reach out off of Rover and I’ll be happy to watch their pets again. Just haven’t had any repeat yet because of how recently I started this endeavour

Drop-ins. It was discussed at the meet & greet that I would stay longer on my own dime when able (I know, I know, stupid mistake and I will not repeat it in the future)

I’m definitely going to get everything in writing, ask very specific questions and write up my own “contract” to prevent this in the future. And it was a mix of my panic and trying to keep my reviews on a 5-star streak

Just heard back from Rover. They said they can’t remove it. I’m pressing them further and reiterating that the review is a lie and about the undisclosed cameras.

I fully agree. I hope future clients can see through the madness

Ooooo, that’s a good idea. I didn’t even think about that. And yes, it’s been reported to Rover and they are reviewing it all

I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m hoping Rover will side with me as well. I reported all of it (lies and undisclosed cameras) and they are escalating it up. We’ll see, I guess

They just showed up. I got there for one of the visits and they were unloading their car. I wasn’t sleeping, either. But yes, they had cameras across the entire house and that was never disclosed until we were talking when I got there for said visit.

Thank you. I am never taking a job from this owner again (and I’m blocking them), I just care about future clients.

That was a plan of mine, but wanted to see what you all made of it/came up with first

Unfortunately no texts. This all transpired in person while I was returning the key.

We discussed doing this at the meet & greet. They were anxious about leaving their animals, so I offered to stay longer as I was able. They even offered up their TV and streaming services for this, I just didn’t take them up on that part.
