| answered a question | Who pays for the food? You should know what and how much they are fed and they should provide their dogs food! Our dog food is $50 a bag and i would never expect a pet sitter to buy it! |
| answered a question | Do i have to get a background check? I would recommend a background check. In looking for a sitter i won't even bother looking at their profile without having a background check done. And even then, i still wish clients could see the results of it not knowing what http://Rover.com is looking for and what is considered okay or not okay... I find it reassuring as a potential client the comment above that says they disqualify you for anything on your record. |

| asked a question | What does the background check include/look for? Hello! I am wanting to know what the background check Rover does includes and looks for? And, am i able to see the results of a background check of a pet sitter? What if a sitter agrees to a background check and they have a record to some extent..... do they get rejected or somthing? |
| answered a question | Can I charge a fee for the meet and greet? I would make sure the potential client knows the price of what they are charging. Even if it should be obvious on your profile. Ask what they are needing and repeat to them the overnight/daily charge and then the total. Don't charge for meet and greets. It's industry standard for these to be free. I have dog sat for nearly 9 years and now when i look for a professional i am still put off by being charged for a meet and greet because i will only spend time on a meet and greet and interview you if i seriously think they will be a good potential fit. |
| answered a question | What are some (ideal) Meet & Greet questions? You should ask the aboves and also how they are with other animals, dogs, cats, squirels, people, adults and kids. - if it's for a cat are they allowed outside? (even if they are i would not let them out until you know the cat well -are they an escape artist? -are there holes or loose/weak spots in the fence? do they try to jump the fence? -what brand and formula do you feed -where are things like paper towles, cleaner, carpet cleaner, fire extinguisher, flasklights, kennels/carriers kept -who else has access to the home (ask this so you don't think their relative checking in is a robber) and will they be coming by |
