answered a question For drop-in visits how much do you charge for more than one dog?

In my opinion scheduling a walk and scheduling a drop in visit are two completely different things. All of the clients I have had schedule drop in visits only when they are going to be out of town and walks are just while they're at work. Drop in visits would typically include letting them outside, playtime to burn off as much energy as possible, feeding them and changing water, bringing in the mail/paper and making sure nothing in the house has been torn apart (ie. all things you would do if the owner is gone for a number of days). But each drop in is typically different, because normally I would be going over 2-3 times a day. If I do a walk during a drop in, it's usually only 15 minutes. It really all depends on what the client wants though.

commented answer Having issues with the map not working on Rover Cards. Anyone else?

I didn't think of logging out and back in. I'll definitely try that. And any time this has happened to me I've never been in a rural area (in or near Brown Deer) and I typically walk just in suburbs/neighborhoods. Thanks!

answered a question How do I stop my dog from jumping?

Ignore the behavior! Dogs do things that pay. If your dog jumps and the person speaks to him, pushes him off of them (basically giving attention) or anything similar, it is exactly what your dog wants. Have guests turn around and ignore your dog when he jumps. Then when all four paws are on the floor they can say hi. Another option would be to teach an incompatible behavior, such as a sit, meaning your dog can't sit and jump on someone at the same time. Teach your dog when greeting people he needs to sit before anyone acknowledges he's there. To get rid of jumping you need to be very consistent so don't let your dog jump on anyone at any time (at the front door, on walks, at the park, even on you, etc.) Eventually, your dog will realize that he gets what he wants (attention, treats, etc.) when he stays on the ground and that when he jumps up nobody pays him any attention.

answered a question How do I breed my dog?

You shouldn't breed your dog. There are enough of them in the world already.

asked a question Having issues with the map not working on Rover Cards. Anyone else?

I have had problems with Rover Cards not wanting to send to clients multiple times in the past, but they eventually send. Recently though, I have had an issue with the map function not working. I will finish a walk, look at the card before I send it, and realize that even though the timer is going it says we have walked 0 miles and there is nothing on the map. Now I have read people say to make sure your GPS is on but I have never had a problem before. (I've never actually turned it on, but the Rover Card maps have always worked). Any suggestions? I have contacted Rover Support and wasn't told much.

commented answer Bandanas from the store?

Any updates on when the Rover store will be a little more diverse? I'd love to purchase some bandanas!
