Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Rover take from pet sitters?
Rover charges pet sitters a 20% service fee on all bookings. If a client pays $50 for boarding, Rover keeps $10 and you receive $40. New sitters sometimes offer promotional rates to build reviews, accepting the lower net initially.
How much can you make on Rover?
Active Rover sitters in urban areas earn $1,000–$3,000/month. Top sitters with 100+ reviews who board 2–3 dogs simultaneously can earn $4,000–$6,000/month. Dog boarding at $40–$60/night is the highest-income activity on the platform.
Is Rover worth it compared to direct clients?
Rover is worth it for acquiring new clients and handling insurance/payment processing. Once you have trusted clients, consider moving some to direct booking to keep the 20% fee. Many established pet sitters use Rover for 30% of bookings (new clients) and direct booking for 70% (regulars).
