Will Rover ever update to include small pet care?
I'm relatively new to Rover but I would love to care for small pets in addition to cats and dogs. I find that it's really hard to market towards them and the best I can do is include it in my description and tag line. What I'm curious is if Rover has any plans to set it up a little better for booking. I personally have 2 chinchillas and 2 hamsters and it's extremely hard trying to find a sitter on this site that could watch my pets. If there was a button to check for small pets and fish like there is for cat care, it would be EXTREMELY helpful.
I also think it would be nice as a sitter to be able to set different prices for my services for the little ones. I don't think it's fair to charge as much for a hamster or fish as you would for a dog. With smaller pets, often all that's needed is a water bottle change and food fill. Nothing like the attention you would have to give to a cat or dog.
Just some thoughts as a new Rover user and critter mom.
I agree with you but I guess at the same time... you mentioned you have Chinchillas, Hamsters, & fish. Then I have also watch pigs, chickens, lizards, a ferret, a tortoises, & even a goat once. So where would you draw the line? I totally hear you, just not sure where Rover would than draw the line.
Yeah I agree that it would be hard to draw a line but maybe even just adding like 3 more categories: small pets(that would maybe include reptiles, mammals and birds), fish, and farm animals?
I've watched chickens before! They're neat :o)
