Why are owners allowed to request multiple sitters at once?
Almost everyone I get requests from has found other sitters minutes before I even answer. It is frustrating to get a request then message them back not even 5 minutes after and they tell me they found someone else. I feel that there should be a limit on how many sitters owners can send requests to in my opinion. Does this happen to anyone else?
This is happened to me a few times also and I am not very happy when customers do this I mean it's a waste of my time and gas. Then they tell me when I get there that they have scheduled a couple more other Rover sitters and they are coming by and so yeah I'm not real happy when I get these calls
I hate that is allowed because sometimes I'm on a walk or caring for another pet , usually do not take calls or answers text while with a pet client (i find that's ignoring and rude) , really needs to be changed.
No that’s not fair at all, every time I contact everyone says no or doesn’t answer for days. Now I can’t message another sitter because there is a limit 😡
When we request a booking, the sitter has 2 days to respond. So are we supposed to wait 2 days, contact another and wait 2 days then contact another and wait 2 days, etc.. It takes 6 requests to finally get a response. If you do the math, this could take 12 days. You are def the exception.
Rover suggests u contact 3 sitters. 1st time away & using Rover. Reliable care during major surgery, 5 days in hospital is critical. Was working with only 1 provider to arrange care. She’s canceled 2 meet&greets, w/ 3rd now so close to checkin date - i see that backup is common sense. Life happens!
I am not asking for multiple sitters. The system does it automatically. It’s frustrating . I only want sitters I actively choose, not those the app selects for me.
