answered a question Do i have to get a background check?

While on the topic of background checks I would just like to point out that if you have ANYTHING on your record (even so much as a petty misdemeanor that is 15 years old) you'll be removed from the site.

answered a question Is the Rover Protection Worth the cost?

The only reason I subscribed to the service was solely for the badge. I definitely do not think it's worth the $50. Who would seriously choose to use that service over contacting the the pets actual veterinarian or local after hours emergency clinic? I sure know I wouldn't. It's a just a marketing tactic the site uses towards us as sitterts to increase their revenue.

answered a question Poop question

We have Natural Choice dog food in our home and it's always seemed to provide a really good consistency for the dogs stools. In addition to sitting we foster as well and have nearly a hundred dogs come through our home over the past few years and it hasn't failed us once.

answered a question What should I ask an owner before a stay?

oooh! fantastic document! I'm going to use this as a reference and create one for myself. Thank you so much for the post!

answered a question Do you stay overnight when you are a traveling sitter?

I will stay overnights if requested. Sometimes the owners don't realize that sitters are willing to provide this extended service, so when you ask them if they'd like you to stay the night, often they are pleasantly surprised that it's something you're willing to offer.

asked a question How do I sign up for the Rover Protection Package?

I've searched the site everywhere and have been unsuccessful in finding a link that allows me to sign up for this service.

commented answer Does anyone provide a discount if you are watching a dog for an extended period of time?

See for stays 7 nights or more my rates go down because I know I'm guaranteed payment for an extended period of time.
