We have two dogs right now, a 10 year old Dachshund, and a 4 year old Boston Terrier. We've been discussing getting a puppy but want to make sure it's the right time, and fit for our home. Does anyone have three dogs? Any upsides or downsides that you've noticed? I know it's common for people to have one or two, but three seems to be a bit more rare.

Hi Rover friends! I am a very active sitter on Rover and have gotten to go to some amazing places thanks to my earnings. I want to know - what have you been able to do with your money? Any trips? Experiences? I would love to hear what Rover has helped other people do.

Here is a photo from Potsdam, Germany last spring.

I've recently been looking for a Yorkie breeder in my area and came across nextdaypets.com. I am a little taken aback by this service that essentially allows you to select a puppy and have it mailed to you.

Has anyone ever used something like this?

Hi Jill, I'm a Rover employee and just asked some of my colleagues your question to get some clarification. Rover doesn't list anywhere on the site that they tell owners to do 3 meet and greets, they simply suggest owners contact a few sitters in the event the original sitter they are contacting is unavailable. I'm a sitter myself and get requests where I know the owner has reached out to multiple people, but a good chunk of the time the dog wouldn't be a good fit for my household, so it works to their advantage to reach out to a few.

If you have any specific feedback on this, you can always send it to Support@Rover.com!

I am a very active sitter, which leads to a lot of poop! I am very diligent in cleaning up after the dogs but this summer there have been a TON of flies in my back yard. You can't eat out on the deck without them landing on your food. Are the flies from the dog poop even though I clean up often? I can't think of what else they would be coming from.

Just wanted to confirm about this discount and how it's applied

Hi, That depends on your needs and preferences (location/dates/wishes). You can search by typing in your zip code, dates, and choose if you want the sitter to watch your dog in your home or theirs. You can then adjust the daily budget or map on the left to filter the results. You can then read what the sitter provides and charges. You can also get Rover customer support over the phone at [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team] to help find a match for your dog.

I love to have a bird feeder in the backyard but my dog eats all the fallen bird seed. I know it's not good for him, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

You definitely can join, but any requests that come through Rover need to be booked through Rover. If they aren't, it's a violation of the terms of service.

You can't archive that message because it's a response you sent, but when the dates pass it will move to your archived folder.

Hi all,

Does anyone have tips or secrets for getting a Rover dog to eat? Some of my dogs wont eat the first day or two and I've found a few tricks that have worked but curious what others have found out as well.

Hi sitters!

Come join the new sitter to sitter referral group on facebook. It can be used to find other sitters in your local area who you can possibly refer stays to when you're unavailable.

Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/96872...

We're still in the beginning stages so please allow some time for the group count to grow :)

Just send a quick email to support@Rover.com and they can help!

Doug, you can easily get in touch by calling [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team] or emailing support@Rover.com

I don't think it would affect their personality or emotions, but I think the best person to ask would be your vet. It's very routine, so they'll be able to give you some expectations post-surgery.
