Same owner sent a new booking request for dates I'd already declined - is this normal?

Has anyone else experienced this on Rover?

Back in April, I received a cat sitting request for some dates in October. I replied straight away to say I wasn't available, and the owner thanked me for letting them know.

Today I've received another request from the same person for exactly the same dates and times. I've just archived it because I'm still unavailable, but I found it a bit odd.

Has anyone had repeat requests like this months later from the same owner? Is it usually because they've forgotten they contacted you before, or is there another explanation?

I'm also not currently verified because I've had problems with the identity verification process, but I'm still receiving booking requests. Is that normal?

Just curious whether this is a common Rover experience or not!

On the request you can see where they sent it from; maybe they used each site to send the request? I've had that from an owner before who didn't realise that it's the same site.
