answered a question | Some dog owners have been telling me that they have trouble locating me on the Rover site to contact and book dog services.What could the problem be ? Rover throttles sitters, based on bookings, return visits, and money made. Which effects the search results by very small margins. I was regularly blown away by the leading sitter, always being the one with little to no reviews and irregular responses or availability. Rover purposely takes inquiries and gives them to less experienced and less popular sitters to keep local prices down. |
commented question | Why does Rover.com only accept credit cards as payment for bookings? Rover wants to monopolize and maintain 20% service fees. |
commented answer | I recently employed a Rover dogsitter in her home. While there, my 15 mos old chewed a few things. The sitter is asking me to pay for reimbursement. Wasn't it the sitters job to make sure the dog did not do damage? I have a puppy fee, but owners get annoyed and offended with extra charges. But those extra charges include carpet cleaning and chewing. Otherwise leave your puppy at the vet or shelter while on holidays, until they can be trusted alone. But sometimes it only takes a few seconds. Or use a crate. |
