Personally, I really respect and love Rover and will never and have never gone off Rover and taken cash. Fully aware that it's against the rules and just not worth it from a liability, marketing, ethical and personal standpoint. But, it's pretty crappy (sorry for lack of a better word), when a potential Rover profile/client "fake" books you, scheduling a meet-n-greet, making it seem like they really like you/flatter you, fully being aware of your rates/profile info and then try to haggle cheaper rates in person (so not cool!) and/or try to convince you to take less in cash and "and not deal with Rover fees" (really, really NOT cool!).

This is a bit upsetting as you can imagine: You're excited about the prospect of a new client, you take time out of your busy day and make the effort to drive across town, waste time, gas/money and energy only to have to deal with this sort of behavior.

What do you with Rover profiles like these? Obviously, tell them no for being so tacky and unethical, but also, would you report them to Rover down the line? They are neighbors with a current client of mine, so it's kind of a sensitive situation (I don't want to upset my wonderful client). She referred them to me, only for me to find out that they want to pull this nonsense.
