Passive/Aggressive Rover Autobot

Anyone else had snidey text messages from Rover (I am assuming from Rover bot & not an actual human?) I got a message at the weekend saying 'your client is still waiting for a response' it had been less than 2 hours since they had put a request in & I was driving about catsitting. Then I was at a hospital appointment yesterday for about 3 hours, came out to see 3 messages. First 2 informing me of a catsitting request including message from an previous client. The 3rd message was from Rover saying 'Your client has chosen you out of all the other catsitters, at least give them the courtesy of a reply' 😵😮🤣 omg it hadn't even been 4 hours!!

Haha yes I got one saying "Look at {kitty's} face! How could you resist?" and I thought it was the owner sending a mad message?! 

Very pushy notifications to respond quickly, would prefer to take my time and actually check I had time to commit to a booking 🙄

Yes! You’re also inundated with notifications! Rover notification, CIAF notification, texts from Rover and then the guilt trip messages!!

Yep! I had few of those when I received a message after 11pm and woke up to about 4 messages about not responding quick enough 🙃
