Rover.com - Can we submit & read tips for/from other owners who have watched the same dog?
Hi there! I'm wondering if there's a way to submit tips for other Rover sitters to read before agreeing to watch a given dog. I personally would find this very helpful, as I've had several "housetrained" dogs that seem to LOVE peeing on my rug. One of them even refused to poop outside, no matter HOW many walks I took her on - and while the owner insisted this had never happened at home, the behavior was too consistent for it to have been a true surprise. As a result of these experiences, I may have to stop sitting altogether, as I never know if a dog is TRULY house-trained, despite what the owner may say.
This would be a great service to sitters. My first booking for house-sitting was difficult due to aggressive behavior of the dogs and the house was so nasty I couldn't sleep.
I am going to stop accepting dogs that I have not sat before because of this very reason. I have had to clean too many rugs and some just will never be the same...Rover doesn't care!
I love love this idea!!!
I find crate trained dogs are better than others. I noticed the same problem. No I take only crate trained dogs. Not that they have to be in crate but they behave better too.
