Next steps

  • Keep an eye on your email—our profile experts may ask you to modify a few things to make your profile the best it can be.

  • You'll typically hear from us within five business days and we’ll notify you via email if your profile is approved.

  • Once your profile is approved and you pass a background check, your sitter services will be live and viewable in the Rover marketplace. Keep in mind that background checks won't run until your profile is approved by our Sitter Team. Click here to learn more about the profile review process.
