I've received a few "red flag" requests since I became a Rover sitter. Most of the time you can just tell that something isn't right. Do not ignore that feeling you get when a request just doesn't sit well with you. Anyone trying to deal with you from out of the country. Anyone who pushes for you to communicate through their personal cell, or gives out their cell number in their first message. Anyone who pushes for your address and seems to focus on getting information from you with little thought or attention towards giving you more information about their pets. This includes requests from people who are undecided about exact booking dates and have new profiles with no information filled out about their pets or themselves. Potential clients who also rush and push for you to accept a booking without a meet and greet, or at least ask a sufficient amount of questions about yourself to feel comfortable leaving their beloved pet with a stranger should be regarded with caution. I think picking up on the red flags is something that comes with experience as a sitter, and you will get better and better at spotting the potential scams over time. My best advice is to trust your instinct. Your instincts are there for a reason. Don't ignore them. One suspicious booking request isn't worth the risk in getting caught up in wasting time and possibly money by some con artist.

Oh wow, had no clue I had a mailbox in the Q&A section! Sorry about the lack of response, but glad it was sorted out.

I was looking around the new profile editing screens, and noticed that I was unable to edit the section, What Sitter Would Like To Know About Your Dog under the main About Me section of my profile. I was able to edit this section before the changes. Would be nice to have the option of editing that part again.
