Cindy- I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention to be disdainful.

I agree with Walt here. I don't want to sound mean but--- 1. I need feedback from folks who do more then have meetings. And, I got that. 2. This question isn't about meet and greets. 3. Your numbers aren't comparable. I, thank you for an attempt to help.

Thanks for this information! I am not apart of any groups and this is my first time sifting through the Q&A forum.

That is a brilliant idea! Thanks for the feedback!

Hey y'all!

The amount of clients I have had on rover are not accurately reflected in my reviews. I have had well over 100 clients. I mention this because I think its important for whoever reads this to know how many folks I've actually handled.

Here it goes: 80% of my clients are generally over an hour late with drop off. 60% are late with pick up.

I have a kind blurb in my profile asking clients to shoot me a text if they are going to be late. Also, in the last message of communication, before the booking is active, along with thanking them for the opportunity- I ask them to send an update if they are going to be late.

1 times out of 10 I will get a message stating they're going to be late which is awesome! But those other 9 times, it is crickets on the other end. Normally at the half an hour mark of being late I will send a check in message to make sure everything is okay. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes I don't. When I don't, the client will show up whenever they get here. So, do any other sitters experience this? I am starting to find it rather rude of them. When you're going to be late, you tell that person out of respect, right?

Do you have any tips on what other steps I can take besides my message in my profile and texting? Or should I just accept it?
