Should a picture of pet owner be mandatory on profile?

I house-sit and always do a meet and greet before accepting. This means I am going to a complete stranger's home. So far I have had mostly good experiences, but I think it should be mandatory that pet owners add a photo of themselves to set up their profile before being able to contact potential sitters.

As a sitter, I do everything possible to ensure the safety of the owner's pet and home. Sitters need to have their safety looked after as well. I would like to see who I am meeting before I meet them, after all, they have seen my profile pictures and know who to expect when they open their door. Only Rover administration can ensure the transparency is equal by making a photo of the pet owner mandatory. This is a huge safety issue.

Does anyone else feel this way?

I agree that Client photos should be mandatory along with animal photo's and not allowing clients to add multiple animals to the same animal profile. Most of my clients don't have client photo's but as a guy, it doesn't bother me, but it should. Good luck in getting Rover to implement this or much of anything else the sitter community has been asking for.
