Sitters
Service fees vary depending on when your Rover profile was approved.
Pet sitters and dog walkers are the cornerstone of our business. Without their passion, hard work, and devotion to providing amazing pet care, we wouldn't be here. We're here to provide ongoing support, educational opportunities, and to help each individual grow their business—and we’re in it for the long haul. These fees help us do that, along with facilitating Rover’s customer support, 24/7 trust and safety coverage, and important site maintenance and product improvements. They also help cover benefits for sitters, including the costs of processing payments and ongoing promotion of sitters on Rover.
Owners
The fee cannot exceed $65 CAD per booking. It’s refundable should the booking be canceled by either the sitter or the owner, in accordance with your sitter’s cancellation policy. If the booking dates change, the fee will be updated accordingly.
