I've now gotten two or three requests on http://Rover.com to watch a pet for a LONG period of time, equating to several THOUSAND dollars, followed by a request for me to contact them via gmail for more details. I'm 99.9% sure these are scams, likely from my recent entries into the Rover Craigslist contests. Here is today's example, which is almost EXACTLY like the last one I got several week's ago:

**> (Today) XXX's inquiry about your home

& availability from 10/17/15 to 12/29/15 (Stay price: $3285) Dog: Brian, Male Poodle, 6 years old.
Profile has no photos, minimal information Message: My name is (withheld). I am seeking for caregiver for my dog(Brian) . please email me at (HIS PERSONAL GMAIL ADDRESS) for more details**

My response was this:

Hello Jay,

I'm happy to discuss this further with you, but all communications must be handled here on http://Rover.com, not offline. Please feel free update your profile here and let me know how I can assist you through Rover. Many thanks!

Cheers, Taunia

This is exactly what I wrote the last two times and I never heard back from them again. I know this is is most likely some time of Craiglist scam, and most definitely something shady if they're trying to get you to work offline of http://Rover.com. Curious if others are also getting these messages, though?

It seems to be happening any time I post on Craigstlist. Anyone else?
