How do I view the profile of someone who inquired with me for dog sitting?

I received a message for a dog sitting opportunity. Whenever I try to click on the persons profile, it defaults to the dogs profile, which does not contain a lot of information. I was hoping to see testimonials for the dog owner before our meeting and greet, just to give me a sense of comfort before meeting this stranger. Please advise. Thanks for your help!! This will be my first booking through Rover!

That is all you can see about customers, i.e., information about their dog. Rover does not give sitters the ability to review customers or provide them with any foreknowledge of problem situations. Owners undergo no background checking. It's not in Rover's best interest to share this information.

Just do your best when you interview with them to ascertain everything you'd like to know. Ask questions, especially if it seems they've used many Rover sitters. If the dog's profile contains a lot of photos, hover over them to see if they've used other Rover sitters and the dates. You can always ask why they've needed to change.

As a sitter, I think it would be very helpful to be able to see some version of a owner profile - such as a picture of them so I would know who I am looking for when I meet them - especially for safety concerns.
