Guest dog snapped at MY dog, report it?
This has happened with 2 different dogs I've cared for in my home, each one doing this twice to my dog in the same visit. BOTH guest dogs were males, my girl (13-year-old female beagle mix). BOTH of these guest dogs have a canine sibling that they didn't do this to. The first dog, it might have been because it was a little dark in the room we were in, but it happened twice with me watching. I kept him separated from my girl the rest of the stay. The 2nd guest dog has a brother that is very well behaved, but the one that bit my girl did unprovoked and in a well lit area of our home. My girl just took it and cowered. I am SO incredibly angry with these dogs that I don't want to take care of them anymore. I wanted to report this to the owner for each dog, but my husband said not to since there was no blood drawn on my dog or any injury. I think that I should tell Rover because this behavior needs to be documented for the next sitter that might take care of these dogs. What do you think, fellow Rover sitters?
Do a lengthy detailed description in the review on each dog at the end of the stay. Rover then unwisely hides that information from everyone who needs it. But with any luck, Rover corporate will get there collective heads out of there buts, and attach reviews to the dogs bios viewable to sitters.
I wish they would, people will call sitter after sitter after rejection. I usually don't take last min. bookings because it's usually a good indicator the owner is hiding something. If a dog is unfit for standard boarding facilities, it's definitely inappropriate in anothers home
