I can only speak on dog walkers
I am only speaking about dog walkers that I have experienced going through Rover - I finally found one (out of four) from Rover that was dependable, I felt comfortable with and continued to use that person. I had complained to Rover regarding the others for the unreliability, would not walk the dogs for the amount of time they’re paid for to do and one particular was so unprofessional and insulting but those walkers continued to be on their site. I didn’t realize I could rate them elsewhere until now since they are all over the news about the awful things that have happened to many dogs when left with a sitter hired through Rover and I am very grateful I never used them for any pet sitting. They don’t do background checks and obviously don’t take complainants seriously and continue to list them on their site with no consequences. Again, I am grateful to say I’ve only had those bad experiences for dog walkers as I would never trust someone I didn’t personally know (vetted)- Never mind rely on Rover to - so glad I never did. If the dog walkers can’t be trusted, there is no way I would’ve used them for pet sitting.
