Suggestions to add more filter options?

I tend to think that Rover could never include a filter to be able to search by gender because of its discrimination implications, but you do have valid concerns.

You should communicate your needs, as an pet owner, to Rover directly since they do not come here. Rover doesn't listen to its sitter community, but there's always a shred of hope that it might be slightly more receptive to owners. You might want to mention the ability to truly search by zipcode and proximity without having the play with the map function.

Good luck!

If you expand the Filters section, some of the "Pets In the Home" filters you requested exist, but a combination would need to be checked. It looks like this: "Pets in the home" Doesn't own a dog Doesn't own a cat x Accepts only one client at a time Does not own caged pets x If the sitter has a dog, hopefully there will be a brief bio and pic'.

My understanding is that Rover Support has more filters to sort results (for customers who call them and ask for help). However, more filters would definitely improve in the search/match process.

A filter that I think would greatly impact many pets is accommodates separation anxiety pets (by not crating and/or leaving them to do other things/go out without them). Last I knew, support can't help with that. They recommended sitters who were also walkers, meaning they'd leave pets behind at home while walking.
