do you publish negative reviews?

I only see positive reviews, do you also publish negative ones?

Comments

I have had several sitters on rover cancel last minute, leaving me in the lurch. I tried to leave a negative review but was told I wasn't allowed because the care was never completed. So they are definitely filtering reviews. The sitter that cancelled is only showing positive reviews.

Yes, Rover publishes the good, the bad, and the ugly, so long as the comments are not offensive.

Pls tell me how can I update a review of a sitter I used in the past or at least have an updated review. Thanks!

I think that with the background checks and the desire to be on the top of the search engine, most sitters are going out of the way to make a good impression.

Sitters with negative reviews probably won't receive many, if any, new requests--so they probably fade to the bottom fast. As well as Jamie's point, most sitters try to make sure the client is pleased with the experience.
