| commented question | No possible way to legally Dog Sit in Las Vegas? I think you are missing the point of my message, unless you only skimmed it?? Making sure it's legal here means owning a business in a commerically zoned area (NOT from home). aka $3000+ a month upfront. Rover's core values aka Mission Statement suggest something different ENTIRELY. THATS my point |

| asked a question | No possible way to legally Dog Sit in Las Vegas? Since sitting with Rover, we have had a great time with the dogs but an AWFUL time with the authorities of Clark County. We had been sitting 2-3 dogs at a single time total. After a few months, one of our lovely neighbors reported us to animal control for having too many dogs on the property. They were incorrect in reporting us, but the Clark County government have given us so much grief, false information and hassle ever since. We looked into the Clark County rules and regulations on dog sitting, and while a little vague, we have finally got to the bottom of it all. Clark County Rules on Dog Sitting: - You cannot house more than 3 dogs and/or cats on your property at any one time. - Dogs/cats staying up to 72 hours WITHOUT renumeration (for money) are not counted in this figure. - All dogs/cats on a Clark County premises must have an up to date rabies vaccination. Certificate must be provided when asked for (Even for visiting dogs/cats). They also must be identified in some way to link the animal to it's owner. - You CANNOT Dog Sit for money without a Business Licence. - You CANNOT start a Business without getting Zoning permission Clark County Comprehensive Planning (Land Use Application form). They will let you get a Business Licence, however, it would not be valid without with permission. - You CANNOT get Zoning permission on a residential property in Clark County for this type of business (NAICS Code: 812910: Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services). - You CAN get Zoning permission (and then a Business Licence) if you are commercially Zoned.... Which defeats the point (or at least, my understanding) of http://Rover.com to be honest. When looking up on http://Rover.com for Dog Sitters in Las Vegas, I can see so many people in residential homes dog sitting... I asked Animal Control this question, to which they responded: "We are slowly catching them all and taking them to court". We have a court date scheduled for a couple of months time, and to be honest, I'm pretty pissed off! Firstly because there are active sitters doing exactly the same thing as we did, and secondly, because I reached out to http://Rover.com and they gave me a one-liner: "You are responsible for checking and conforming to your local laws". While this is true, why doesn't http://Rover.com check for Business Licences in certain areas? or at least do more to warn users of these potential issues. They could message everybody in Clark Country and say: "By the way, thanks for your patronage on http://Rover.com, but I thought I should tell you that you can't dog sit on here in Clark County unless you're a business". Might be useful! |

| asked a question | Demon dog from hell? Hi, I'm currently looking for a large shih tzu. The owner and the owners profile stated that the dog is fine with people and other dogs. When the guy dropped her off (3 hours late!), I went to pet the dog and the dog tore a chunk of skin from my finger!! The owner said he's "just a bit skiddish". I thought that maybe I caught him by surprise? I decided to accept the dog anyway as the owner had a last minute flight to catch and was pleading for us to look after the dog. I took the dog in, and let it out in the back garden to go toilet and get a feel for it's surroundings. I let my smaller dog out who is a very sociable dog and is fine with all other dogs. She's a 10 year old very mellow chihuahua. The shih tzu grabbed by dog in it's mouth and started shaking it around like a rag doll!! I tried to seperate them and the shih tzu bit me again! I literally have two holes in my hands bleeding everywhere. I tried to contact the owner but they are not contactable as they just left the country. I managed to get it in it's crate that the owner provided, but im stuck with a demon dog from hell. What is the typical process in this situation? Thanks |
