A sitter is not required to leave a review of their visit.
I don’t leave a review of the dog for ‘my personal recall’ Rover states that they are the only ones who see it - and well - everything is hackable, why would rover want information that you are not willing to share with the client? I don’t believe any of those notes get transferred when another rover sitter fills in for you.
I write a narrative for each visit/walk and paste that into the Rover card, that way - Both the client and I have a record of what went on, behavior notes, if the dog had loose/hard stools - stuff like that. This allows the client to answer questions from their vet, or other member of their dog’s care team (behaviorist, trainer etc.) precisely.
For instance, I am booked to walk Finton three days this week, I notice on day two that Finton’s stool is like melted soft serve. Same on day three. The client can trace that back to a change in food, maybe medication, or any number of other things. These and other small changes often don’t seem like much at the time - similar to “big data” put all of it together - and you are able to explain why or how their dog is “off”.
I keep a separate sheet on each dog with basic information on the dog, and the house - from lock combos, location of the dog approved towels, triggers (squirels, chipmunks, kids) - location of food etc. This is extraordinarily helpful - and right there with me.
I always leave another review for my repeat sitter because the experience is always different. I like to tell others how/what the experience is like after the first time to the second time, etc. And I want to help them by showing we always enjoyed the multiple visits.
