Had the same issue. This was a regular client and I felt bad to turn them away, however, my profile was set "away" AND my calendar was blocked over the easter holiday. The booking came through. I sent rover my feedback and received this message from them
"Hi Rosie,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Your clients are still allowed to send messages and requests for dates when you are marked as "away". They are also made aware that you are set to away, and may not respond to their message or may be unavailable. I have attached screenshots of what your clients see when they try to message or book with you for dates when you are set to away.
I'm sorry that this caused a change of plans for you, but feel free in the future to let you clients know if you will be unavailable for a specific request, as I am sure they would understand. Stays cannot be booked without you first accepting the stay. I hope this information helps. If you have any other questions please feel free to respond to this message or give us a call.
All the best,
Tymer
Rover Support"
My theory-If you are marked away AND your calendar is marked unavailable the client should not be given the option to send a request.
Thanks
