Can you post an ad seeking a host?
Is there a way for a pet parent to post an ad seeking a host that meets certain criteria?

And it's recommended that you contact 2 or 3 sitters before making a decision. That way you can determine who is the best person for your situation. Be sure to have a meet and greet with each prospective sitter so you can see how they interact with your dog, what their home is like if you are boarding, and any questions can be answered.
Rover.com isn't set up that way. However, the Rover Support Team can help refer you to someone that meets your criteria.
The best way for a pet parent to screen a potential host is to read a sitter's profile thoroughly.
Additionally, when contacting a sitter, include questions regarding the details you are concerned about. Rover encourages Meet and Greets before a commitment is made - questions and concerns can be addressed via email before that Meet and Greet and then discussed in more detail once a first judgment has been made.
Thanks to all who took the time to answer my question. It's frustrating when you set specific search criteria but you get results that include sitters who actually don't meet that criteria. (Their profiles don't accurately reflect their environment, such as whether or not they have pets.)
