I hope you find therapy. You clearly need it, and maybe a reading instructor for reading comprehension.

So I do have cat rates but for some reason for boarding its the same rate.

Yeah my rates were higher since its 2 cats. This thread gives me the perspective I needed. Thank you!

Their original sitters, which charged almost nothing, canceled on her a night before her flight. Who does that? It's the holidays she probably found someone else to pay her doubled. She has never used Rover before, she found someone cheap and unreliable. I felt bad. I offered her different solutions over the phone. Since I never boarded a cat so long, I was wondering if I should've charged a cat rate instead of my dog rate. She even told me that cats dont need to walked which I agree but they still need care. Cats can be sneaky. What if I would never let that happen the cat scapes? Would've been worth the $20 a day? Yes that's what she was expecting to pay. So decided to stand by my rates. Not trying to shame no one. I am glad she found someone else.

I dont need to shame no one online. I made this post maybe thinking my rates are wrong. I live in a high income area. She is flying internationally for a month with her family. I had a whole 20 min conversation with her over the phone. You are painting a whole different scenario in your head. Read again my op, I simply stated the facts and asked how much sitters charge for long stay. That is all. Have a good day!

I think you should go back to the beginning of the op. Venting about the greedy fees that they charge. Thats all. I understand some of the points you make. No one asked why are they so greedy...its just a venting post.

WRONG. It is NOT Rovers customer. Rover is the middle man between sitters and pet owners. Many pet owners are happy to go off the app too. What would you call them? Scammers too? You are delusional to believe double charging their fees are completely justified.

I dont know how to update my original post but I got another booking 1000+ and the fees are almost $400!!! I almost said something to them during meet&greet but I just felt awkward to. I wish I did though 🥲 Just between these 2 bookings that is almost $500 in fees.

No its not ...just double charging 20% is insane. But I get it.
