Profile completion?

Hi all,

I signed up recently and I guess the website was updated the day after. There was initially an option to take a quiz showing you'd read up on sitting guidelines; it looks like that has disappeared. Also, it's saying I need to complete more steps for my profile to be active; I have already posted 6 pictures and have 2 testimonials (with a few more expected) so all that is left is the background check, which I thought was optional? I may do it but I'm not comfortable providing my social security number just yet. Is this a glitch or do I HAVE to opt-in to the background check in order to appear in search results; post to Craigslist; get promo codes; etc?

Thank you!

Hi April -

It's probably a glitch due to the profile updates. The set of questions you initially set out to answer was changed, so the system may think that you are missing information that is no longer available to complete. I assume the issue will resolve itself eventually; however, I would contact Rover Support to speed up that process.

The background check isn't required at this time, though it is a good way to attract customers and instill trust. Additionally, you aren't providing your SSN to Rover. The check is performed by an outside agency like one that a potential employer would use when you applied for a job. You submit your information directly to them, and only the results of the check (pass/fail) are reported back to Rover.

Okay great. Thank you for explaining that about the background check; that makes me feel more comfortable!
