How to know if you can trust a client?
Hey sitters! I just started my profile with Rover. I have years of experience sitting for clients, but they were all through word of mouth. This is my first time using an online service. I am generally a friendly open-minded person, but began having skeptical feelings toward a potential client and want to know if these feelings are justified or any advice you all may have. My client contacted me a week ago to set up a meet and greet (which we scheduled). Her profile is fairly empty, with only a little information on her dog. None on her. Is it normal to see no information at all about the owner besides their name? She responded within minutes, as did I when she messaged me during the week. Then about one hour before the M&G she tells me her husband will be coming instead of her for the M&G (no reason given) Then asked for a personal phone number for her husband to reach me at. I told her the number she had through Rover was my phone number and he could reach me there. She said he would be late, I said that would not be be a problem. Then about 10 minutes before the meet and greet she messages me to tell me she needs to reschedule because she got into a car accident. I don't know if this is real, or if she didn't know how to cancel without making an excuse. My main concern is that there is no information about her or her husband on her profile and it almost felt as if she backed out after she had already gotten my address, which has me feeling the heeby geebies. What do you all think?
