| commented answer | How much info can I post about a dog owner here for other sitters to see? I had one bad comment from a new dog owner who had high expectations during rush hour. You can see my profile of the way I responded to her rudeness of the review, yet she couldn't say that to me during our Rover chat |
| commented question | My mother dog was killed while being watched by a Rover Sitter? I'm glad the sitter contacted you asap to inform you when this first happened. It may be because of sitter negligence or he could be that the dog is an escape artist. It is best that next time it is better to board a dog where your dog will be the only client boarding as it provides better attention |
| commented question | My mother dog was killed while being watched by a Rover Sitter? Hmm.., that is kind of weird. I'm sure Rover Insurance should cover something, even the price of a new dog of the same breed. I'm sorry to hear of your mother's lost. As a sitter, things like this do happen even if we exercise as much control to prevent the situation. |

| answered a question | Raising dog walking rate for potential client? Do you get a lot of clients for $20 a walk? I work professionally with a dog walking company and get 6-8 walks a day in Los Angeles. Even then the company gives discounts all the time and also offers discounts buying multiple walks beforehand that totals ~$16 before I get my cut. Making $12 per walk without the tip is full time already in Los Angeles. At my current rates in Atlanta, since I am here for the summer, I get a ton of recurring clients and have decline people who are too far. One potential client asked if I had a discount for multiple walks being a little further when my rates for Atlanta are already extremely reasonable. But I'm glad she found someone else and she is also from CA and had a dog walker there. She should have some idea my rates are good. |
| answered a question | How much info can I post about a dog owner here for other sitters to see? I think you can also respond to their review as well. I would say, thank you for the review and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your experience with me as your sitter. However, I do live in a 3 story house....etc |

| commented question | Can I tip my pet sitter? And we sitters can adjust are rates should we want to make more money. So with this freedom tipping is not expected for this online service to find us. |
| commented question | Can I tip my pet sitter? That's up to you. I personally decline tipping as my all inclusive rates allow me to live comfortably along with my other endeavors. A 5 star review is best for me. I want the dog owner to remain stress free. I never seen a dog hotel asking for tips though unless that changed. |
