There have been a few times I have received messages from legitimate clients pushing for me to call them. I honestly prefer to keep the conversation in messages for safety reasons and I don't want to just hand my number out. Some clients also push for an address. I don't understand the rush, if you are serious about looking for a sitter..the pushiness comes off very creepy.

However, there are also rare occasions when I receive a very vague message from a profile that does not seem legit, telling me to call them at a phone number. No information on any dogs, no questions about sitting, nothing. It's creepy. I wanted to know if anyone else has received similar messages and what scam could someone possibly pull off through rover? Why would a scammer want to go on a dog sitting website to potentially scam people?
