Meet and greet through Skype?
I'm new to Rover (but not new to pet sitting). I am excited that I may potentially have my first Rover booking. But the situation isn't typical and I could use some opinions from the community.
The dog owner is moving to my city from across the country. Here's where it gets weird. The dog is arriving here (in my city) before the owner does. The owner has some business to wrap up before she travels here and I would be watching the dog in its new home in the meantime.
So it will basically be impossible for me to have a traditional meet-and-greet. I was thinking of trying to arrange it through Skype. That way we can kinda meet face-to-face, although remotely. Has anyone ever tried anything like that? Or does this just sound like some weird scam that I should steer clear of?
I love the idea of a client who travels frequently. That means more pet sitting opportunities for me! But I want to be safe too and I don't want to violate any of Rover's policies. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts.
