| commented answer | Full profile and reviews, but no requests yet? As a person you walk my dogs for I do not recommend the bait and switch of reel me in with a $3 lower rate and then increase my rate when you have gotten my reviews and built yourself a business. I will drop you like a hot pancake no matter how awesome you are because character is important! |

| answered a question | how long should I wait to raise my fee? As a person you walk the dogs for I do not appreciate having the rate increased so significantly because your business is doing so well. I quite offended by the person who decided to lowball his or her rates at the start knowing he or she would increase the rate once we were sucked in. Reminds me of my TV and Phone services that think people won't switch and treat the existing customer as a has been....and new customers like gold to suck them in. It may be just a 25 % increase to you, however a person with 2 plus dogs this is a significant increase. My dog person just let me know the rate will increase from $20 TO $30 for a half hour walk because her dog walking business is doing so well. This is just not reasonable!! And no matter how happy I am with you that great thing about Rover is I have a ton of options Now I do believe $10 to walk one (1) dog is not a reasonable rate. At the same same time I do not believe $24 to $30 plus the fee we pay to Rover is reasonable. A Flat Rate of say $20 with a not to exceed "number" of dogs seems more reasonable over all. As for options to choose from I do not understand why there is a play with dogs and feed option and not a walk with dogs and feed option, but that is another topic.l |
