What are locked-in rates?

With locked-in rates, sitters have the flexibility to set specific rates for certain clients. When you lock in service rates for a client, those prices will be automatically applied when they re-book with you.

A few things to note about locked-in rates:

  • Rates are locked in per client by service type. This means that each service you offer will have specific locked-in rates applied to your client.
  • If any of your rates aren't locked in, we'll display an orange warning icon next to it and on the booking details.

How to lock rates for clients

You can lock in a rate for a client from different sections of your inbox  from your Rover account. Here’s how:

Rover app

  1. Open the Rover app and tap Inbox, then navigate to the Pending, Upcoming, or Past Stays section.

  2. Tap on your client’s name and select Details. Under Payment Details, tap Lock rates for [Client name].

Your client will pay these locked rates for all future bookings. These rates will not change for your client, even if you increase your default rates.

If no longer want to lock rates for a client, scroll to the bottom of their booking details and tap Update to default rates.
