Why do sitters not update their calendars?
Each time we have need to set up a sitter we have to go though many (5, 10+) sitters who have "available" on their calendar but, it turns out, are not actually available. We repeatedly hear "Oh, sorry, my calendar was not updated and I'm not actually available that day" in reply to our availability request. Their responses are professional and polite but I would WAY rather prefer just seeing their schedule reflect their being unavailable so I can focus on the few that may actually be able to help.
Is this a technical issue with http://Rover.com or is it user error? Are sitters just not bothering to block out dates when they have other plans?
For what it's worth each tme this happens it knocks the wind out of out "excited for http://rover.com" sails a bit more.
