commented question What should I do if owners lie about amount of animals I would be watching?

Wow, that is insane that they would just not mention that. Everything Erica said is very valuable. I would also reach out to rover customer service, explain the situation, and ask them for their advice.

answered a question Do I need to let the owner inside my home for boarding?

Every booking I've had in my home, I allow the owners to walk through the first floor with me and show them the backyard. I think of it as, I would not want my dog left somewhere I couldn't see, in person, what it was like, so why should I expect them too. I'm very awkward and uncomfortable having people in my home but I try to be polite and friendly.

commented question Asking owners to bring a crate for a Boarding service?

Of the requests I've booked, no one has brought a crate but I haven't asked either. If you would prefer to have dogs crated during sleeping hours, I would put in your profile that all boarded dogs must bring their own crate. Then, when messaging, remind them of this before finalizing booking.

commented question What would you charge someone to stay with their dogs for 4 hours?

I would say, based on your overnight prices and having 3 dogs, you could charge them $32 for the 4 hours. If they have a problem and you want the booking, then I would lower it to 28. But I wouldn't go any lower than that. Three dogs is a lot of work.

commented question What do you do if an owner has not picked up their dog?

I would call the Rover emergency helpline. They can guide you better.
