Owner cannot be contacted. How do I contact them via msg their profile and not their cell?

Recieved a text about a new booking request with client and the Rover number connected me to a stranger who was not the client or needed my services and was very mad I kept asking questions trying to figure out what the mix up was.

Thinking the client is new and signed up with the wrong cell number. Tried using the website and that still didnt work. They wanted to book starting tomorrow and I have no idea what time they need their dog walked or when I can schedule a meet and greet. I scheduled one with the message to contact me and look at their info. Hopefully she will see it and correct it. I sent a ticket to the site and they said to wait up to two days but I don't want to wait that long or lose my booking

I am unsure on what else to do at this point but it's frustrating.

This has happened to other sitters before. Are you texting/calling the owner's permanent Rover number (the number the Rover request came from) or did they include a cell phone in their message? The Rover number is generated by Rover and has been known to get crossed with actual phone numbers of non-Rover people.

At this point I would only communicate with the owner through the Rover messaging system on Rover.com or the app (not texting) and ask her to call you if she would like to chat over the phone. You can also call Rover support and they may have another way to reach out to the owner or can help clear up the phone issue.
