I think someone tried to scam me, should I be worried?

This woman recently tried to book me for drop-in visits, but she was very incoherent in her messages, i.e not answering my questions, weird punctuation, vagueness, etc, she said she was "relocating" to where I lived and that's why she needed a sitter. She also asked for my personal number because she said her app wasn't working, I made the mistake of giving it to her. I noticed that her photos of pets were stock photos with clear watermarks on them. I don't think this person was real, but now they have my personal cell number. I declined their request and emailed Rover support, I also blocked their number, but I'm still pretty freaked out! Should I be worried? I don't want to keep working with Rover if this is going to happen.

SCAM's on the Rover platform are becoming more and more common, not sure what they are trying to achieve. If you receive a booking request that looks suspicious always flag it for Rover support. And never give out your personal cell phone until you know the potential client, that's just one of the reason's we all have Rover numbers that are different with every client.
