Does the pet owner get notified to leave a review?

I know this has been asked before, but a while back. So I am asking again in order to receive fresh answers. I just had a pet client for the last two days, plus one extra day as an extended stay. This dog has had multiple stays at diverse sitters before, but it doesn't seem like they have received any reviews. Since this experience was my second dog boarding and I only have one review, I would like to know if the pet owner gets notified by Rover to leave a review. The extended stay was due to the owner's flight cancellation because of bad weather, which was therefore really a last minute extra day. I have read that I can kindly message the owner to leave a review, but I am reluctant to do so. I just don't want to sound too demanding. Thank you for your responses and my apologies is this has been asked before. I am new at Rover and this is the first time I ask a question.

Owners are promoted via email to leave a review for every booking, some leave reviews, many do not. I always ask my new clients at the end of the booking if they were pleased and to leave a review for me, stressing how important it is to me. So far every client has left a review for me, several just left a star review others have written a nice review. Through your Rover number, you can reach out to the client and ask them to review you! Best of luck

From the Rover Blog: "We send three separate emails to pet owners, asking them to write a review. We send pet owners a text notification to remind them to review the stay. We give pet owners the capability to write a review on the app." They can also review you from the regular website. Like Walt mentioned, clients don't always review even with the prompting from Rover. Personally, I don't ask for reviews just because I know they get notified to do so by Rover. That said, I don't think it's a bad idea to send them a follow up message asking for a review so that you can continue to improve your profile!

Perfect answer, thank you. I will send the owner a message and ask for a review.

Unfortunately, I am in the same situation. My repeat client of 3 visits started out as a super last minute, can you check on my dog today because I just had to catch an early flight type of situation. I didn't have time to do a meet and greet and wanted to help them out. We did a meet a greet a couple of days later and he's now a repeat. I would have thought my first client and a super last minute request would have made an effort to leave me a review. Another (my next client) contacted me at 11pm on a Saturday asking if I could check on their girl at 7/8am Sunday morning. Again, no meet and greet, they got stuck out of town. So, I did a favor and was happy to do so. No review from them either. Both clients I asked kindly at the end of the stay, how was your "pups name" when you arrived home? Was he/she happy about our visit? You may receive an email from Rover asking to leave a review, I would really appreciate your feedback....still nothing. I guess i'm a little disappointed. :/ I hope you get some reviews!
