I hired a sitter and don't get updates, is that normal?
I've been a rover sitter for over a year and my clients always get at least 1 photo and update per day (on dogs that stay 3-4 weeks, I run out of things to say and new pics to take).
I recently hired a sitter on rover for the first time and getting updates is like pulling teeth. I've only gotten 3 photos total in 9 days and only when I specially say "Hey can you send me a photo?" and I only get a text reply if I ask "How's my dog?"
Is it unreasonable for me to expect more updates and photos?
No. I’d be upset too! If anything,I send pictures to dog mom and dads without them having to ask.
My situation is the opposite. I'm a sitter and my client is always asking for updates. Its a little annoying. I'll be eating dinner with my family and she will text and say how is (dogs name) ? And ill have to stop what I'm doing take a picture/ video and put her at ease.
You're literally getting paid to do that...
