| commented answer | I am trying to get started in Rover as a sitter but when a potential client was looking for a sitter in our zipcode, she was given a list of sitters outside the area first-I was listed number8 behind other sitters further away-why is that?

| answered a question | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? UPDATE: I have started working again after almost 4 years. I am very happy about it. I updated my profile and have a booking in December for my sitters two dogs!😊 She watches my tripawd when I go out of town. Yes, I should stop being a boarder for Rover. I did not make this decision lightly or without a heavy heart. I’ve talked it over with my husband, prayed about it, and took all advice I received into consideration. The street I live on is just too busy, and I feel that I would be compromising my integrity to not give future clients full disclosurie. |

| commented answer | Should I send condolences to the family? That’s a perfect idea. Thank you. |
| commented answer | Should I send condolences to the family? I have been feeling to just let them reach out to me if they ever want to again. It’s just been on my mind, and I had to just get it out. Thanks for your response. |
| asked a question | Should I send condolences to the family? I asked a previously asked a question about remaining a Rover sitter after a client’s dog passed after an accident. Should I send condolences of some kind? I think of them constantly and how they are doing.. I am afraid of doing anything inappropriate. |
| commented question | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? Thank you everyone for your comments and advice. I truly wonder how the family is doing. If they ever leave a review, good or bad, I still think the world of them. |

| commented answer | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? My profile is paused until they finalize the reimbursement today. I’m waiting to see what review if any the owners will leave once my profile is back online. I definitely agree, I would never let any dog outside without me ever again. |
| commented answer | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? But would anyone ever even want to hire me? |
| commented answer | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? They are working on reimbursing me for everything, but the paw print that I had done for the owner. I paid for the cremation and ash urn also. |
| asked a question | Should I stop being a boarder for Rover? A dog in my care escaped my backyard and was hit by a car. I was there with the owners through everything and paid for all vet expenses. The dog did not survive. I do not know how the dog got out of the yard. The first thing I do when I have a meet and greet is take everyone directly to my backyard so they can see everything,. I already explain before the meet and greet that there is a doggie door to the yard. Then I take the owners and dogs through that exact door into my house and show them the whole house. I explain that the dogs are free to go in and out as they please. I am devastated and heartbroken. |
