Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Coming back with an update! I LOVE ROVER!!! It became me and my husband's full time job! I logged my 1 year update on my youtube channel. we made over 230k on rover!! Super duper crazy. i'm just so grateful for the platform
I was a petsitter for 13 years in Pennsylvania it was incredible now I’m in Florida now I’m excited to start a new life now Petsitting 😊 I do have pet first aid as well
I wanted to ask you for your advice because i've been struggling to get my first client and I don't know what to do. I updated my profile I set up adds and I've put the lowest prices available and I can't get any clients. Do you have any advice for me to help out?
I’ve been working with dogs since 2016 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The ONLY time it feels like work is when it’s pouring. Literally being paid to play with dogs, dream job.
I use this app all the time, I live alone and would rather my dog have a dedicated dog sitter so this app is a life saver. Plus I usually use 1 of 5 people but everyone I met are always amazing people. I’m glad they get paid well
I just lost my pupper the beginning of this month. Super sad over it. Was looking into this to get my dog lovin in cuz my home feels so empty. And quiet. I hate it but not ready for a new pet yet. So this seems like a great idea for me to make some extra cash and get my pupper lovins.
One of the guys who watches my dog from rover he is an older guy who lost his dog so He uses rover so he can still be around dogs untill he is ready to get another one. I think if I were you guys I would do the same.
@@MARK71965 hey there Mark! I’m doing great. I went full time in May actually and just doing better and better each month I talk about my finances too if you’re interested
@@MARK71965 hi Mark - I've been signed up for quite some time now and never had any bookings yet so im looking how i build a better profile. how are you going?
So definitely location is important.. I live in Vancouver WA and most of my business is still in Portland unfortunately. I was wondering what your radius is, like how far you're willing to go to pick up new clients? Good video, thanks man!
@@QueenD91Depends on if you do it because you feel you absolutely need it or as side cash. I do it as side cash when I know I’ll be in the house so why not have a little furry friend to snuggle with while being paid or “force” yourself to go for a walk and take in some fresh air? Others do it because they 100% need to. For sure charge more if you need too because Rover takes like 20% in fees 🙄 even as someone who doesn’t need too this annoys me… just keep that in mind in general.
@@earthandwind820some people, once they have a cilent, they meet off rover app so now there’s no fees and it’s cheaper for the cilent as well as getting paid more
How do you deal with Rover wanting you to book clients on their platform? - Like if someone messages you on Rover then asks for your number and then becomes a private client and Rover can clearly see that from your messages and send you an email saying "Make sure to book clients on Rover..ect" ( Something along they lines. I've been using Rover for 2 years now and I've been loving it. Also, The Rover Guarantee isn't Insurance, In case you thought it was. If you read the terms and conditions it says you might still need insurance but the Rover Guarantee is just there to help if anything goes wrong. - Do you have Insurance as well for your Private Clients? I'm just wondering because you've definitely been doing it longer than me and take 4x as much dogs as me so, would be good to hear from someone who's been doing it for years 😊
I recently just started with Rover and so far I haven't gotten any requests. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does it take time? I could use some help
Awesome post it looks like you have this all down pat. I’ve been using Wag since the beginning of the year and I am not happy with that platform at all. The challenge that I have is that I don’t understand how to set rover up at all on one of your other videos you mentioned you would be glad to help people out if they had questions well here I am if you think you have time to help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much. And thanks for the constant. It’s helpful.
As someone who enjoys walking a lot and running, how often do you have trouble with the dog you walk or sit? Do you get bit much and are they a problem with other dogs? Also is there potential to have this as a full time job?
Rarely have problems but I’m very picky on what dogs I take. If they have behavioral problems I don’t take them. I’ve been bit maybe once or twice nothing major And yes you can turn this into a full time gig. Thats what I do ;)
I’ve never had any problems with any of the dogs in terms of aggression. You get some dogs that are more powerful (pits, German Shepard’s, bigger dogs) that aren’t always trained well in terms of walking and pull a bit but not aggression. I’ve always been more scared of feisty lil dogs in this life - the big dogs tend to be sweet. Lol Anway, the pulling can be corrected with some techniques if they’re wearing the proper collar (often they are) but sometimes they have flimsy collars where it’s hard to correct the behavior with a small nudge. You get to have a meet and greet with the owners though, so make sure the owner gives you a proper collar and you’ll be fine. All the dogs I’ve taken care of are sweet & not aggressive. There are a lot of rescue pits where I live & they’re so muscular & have a bad rep, but I grew up surrounded by pits and know the only aggressive pit is one that was purposely trained that way by an irresponsible owner. Adopted pits are especially grateful sweethearts, so don’t be scared of big dogs. For me it’s also a means to get out walking. I don’t typically like the gym but can walk forever. So win win. Also, if you’re not 100% comfortable with a dog, then stay on the app and they can help if anything. Some clients do pay outside of the app just because rover has like a 20% fee they take….so if the client is comfortable with you, some of them avoid wasting their money on fees and pay outside of the app the same amount but with it all going to you. I personally don’t mind being paid in or out of the app. The 20% fee is annoying lol but I guess the app is a sort of “insurance”…
If it’s 1k a week and 20% goes to Rover that means you made only $500 that week. 20% to rover, roughly 30% to taxes and %50 profit. Profit margins are good but small profits nonetheless
Hello Hannibal Thank you for the post Great Job Very informative! Question IF You have someone who books a WEEK A Year ahead for a week and especially around a holiday, do you charge them a certain percentage for cancellation? Thanks in Advance Many Blessings for your up coming holidays!
I joined Rover and I don't have any clients yet or a lot of endorsements due to having a very very small pool of friends and probably in even smaller pool of family members. So I guess my question is I've been on it for a full day. I know that's a long time, but when can you start getting requests when you don't have any prior completed services /reviews yet
1. I do Rover full time and I love it. Make sure your profile pics with dogs or you and dogs. Well lit, in the sun or grass! 2. Write why you love dogs, show your personality in a professional way, (what dogs you have experience with) 3. Have fun, love,play and walk the dogs. Reviews will come! Lmk if you have any questions!
I want to get into Rover, but I won’t be able to board or do daycare in my home. Everything will have to be outside (walks, etc) or in the client’s home. Do you think that’s still viable?
It's how I work through Rover, I have a small apartment with 3 kitties so I can't board or have dogs over but I do drop ins, walks, and house sittings no problem, I've done doggy day care like twice but they were smaller than my cats so it wasnt that much of a problem
How many dogs you board a day and how many drop ins you do in a day in average? If I pet sit in 2 mile radius only beside boarding will I still make money? I wanna do it with my ebike not car..
I heard that Rover does not take out taxes as your considered your own business…how do you go about paying taxes on your earnings? How do you know how much to save to pay in? Thanks
Thank you for the informative video, very helpful.. Here is my question, that 55$ you charge is it per day 24 hours or is it like 9-5? So 10 days you charge 550? When you dog board where you keep them? You have a spare room or they have your whole house? How much time you actually spend with them? What's your day like when you dog board is it a schedule you follow?
I can answer this: - That $55 is per day so if someone booked him for..say.. A week. That would be $55 x7, aka $385 at the end of the week. - When dog boarding, the dog is in your whole house. - You spend as much time with the dog as they need, If they need lots of attention , they'll be at you all day but if if you have an easy going dogs they types of dogs will sometimes just sit about or just walk away from you when they decide they'd rather be in another room, as an example. - Boarding day: The owners usually give you their schedule that they keep with the dog. Food times/ walk times/ Medicine times, etc - For me I follow that but I can imagine he would as well because, I don't think it would be right not to follow it, but yeah. That's it! 😊
@@starwolfsden6531 It's not though. It is fair when you are building a book of clients but, after having a full book of repeat clients, it is highway robbery. For instance, I have a client traveling for 2.5 weeks. They pay about 1k for the stay. After Rover fees, I will only make about $750 (ballpark). I get nothing from rover in exchange for the fees. They don't cover anything in your home. I have never had to call them for assistance in anyway. If a Rover sitter is smart, they will use the app to build their book, buy pet insurance and then take all of their repeat clients off app. Rover is great for finding clients but they are useless for anything else. 20% is absurd!
Do you know what age you have to be to use Rover? My teenagers keep talking about getting a job & making their own money. Wondering if this is an option for them.
I can’t seem to figure out how rover works. Seems like it’s more for people to find pet sitters an dog walkers. Not for dog sitters an dog walkers want to do this just in general for extra cash.
@@hannibalishungry Is that another payment option they added? Cause if they did then I need to check that too. Cause all I see is “Stripe” for checkout option to send your funds.
I just started with Rover 3 months ago and would love to have some help with what I should keep for taxes. I assume Rover gives you a 1099? Could you possibly tell me what things I can claim?
Hi I have just started out like two weeks ago and haven't received any new clients yet I don't know if I'm doing something wrong I was thinking I should hand out flyers to dog owners in dog parks for 2 weeks straight.
Im looking over your Rover playlist. The titles mention how much you earn, do any of your videos offer advice on do's and don'ts of Rovering? Ive been thinking about dog walking, but my biggest fear is meeting a stray on the street who'd attack me or the dog. How do you keep dogs safe on walks? For the moment, I have the walking option turned off but I'm open for drop ins. I feel more comfortable playing with a dig in its own home or backyard.
I just started with boarding services on Rover and I would like to add dog walking/mid day potty breaks also but how do you do multiple services (especially if you start getting multiple clients for each service) and do all of them in a day if your main focus is boarding. Im worried that boarding clients wont care too much for the fact that Im not home a chunk of the day and their dog would need to be crated. Any insight would be much appreciated.
Do you think a motivated and responsible 12 year old could do most of this with a little parental help? Trying to help my son think of summer jobs. Thanks.
So, you are boarding in an apartment that you own or are you renting? If second if the case, how did you talk to your landlord about dog boarding permission?
Honestly I stopped because its not for me, but its a great app and service if you like animals just know what your signing up for with clients. @@KosmikGawdess
I think I could use another set of eyes on my profile- I haven't been able to book anything. I'm not sure what it's missing?? I even have a referral from a THS client 😏
question, as a 15 yr old who is starting to look out for jobs, I figured I could try dog sitting. I watch my friends dog and she pays me so I have some experience but I wanted to actually start talking money off of it and start doing more jobs. I found rover and I wanted to use this but it says on their website I have to be at least 18, im unsure of what to do now... what do you think?
Don’t need any licenses. I do have an animal handling certificate but that’s for commercial boarding facilities. I did that when I worked for someone else back in the day
@@crishnaholmes7730 No, I have prior experience from growing up with many animals at the same time but I recommend the behavioral advice for anyone not familiar with pets
Do I need to pay quarterly taxes on the money I make on Rover when the clients pay through the app?? WHat do you do? I made $5000 this summer and I think I need to pay 10% tax on that.
As a rover sitter of over 5 years none of your prices mean anything unless we’re in your market. That’s beyond important to mention. As well as several other things but hey I’m not making the video.
How safe is it for a female to drop in at a stranger's house I'm terrified of that. Also there' s always the chance of getting mauled, I'd never do pitbulls, boxers, dobermans, dogs like that, too scary.
I’m a terrible multi tasker,perfectionist, overthinker & don’t do this, but when my sister used to do Rover a lot when she was starting her other day job (unrelated) business… she used to just let the dog be in her apartment or taking them out for walks together if she knew they would not conflict. I personally wouldn’t do this because I start thinking: “what if I left something out that they can get & drink/eat that’ll hurt them (cleaning products/small things to chew on/even a piece of chocolate)….but all the dogs she has sitted have turned out perfectly fine! I think it’s a matter of the way your housing is structured and the little voices in your head lol
Imagine paying more than 200 a year dollars for a scheduling app. Then covering the cost with ridiculous prices then have rover add more fees on the customer side aswell. You guys are getting scammed and customers a gullible to convenience and click the first ad when they see dog boarding

Okay so i signed up but wtf are potty breaks like 😂 you just take a dog out so they can go pee like im sure the the owner has a back yard
Do you work when you want too?
Hey are you licensed or is it legal to do?

So drop in visits is when you visit the home or vice versa?

How do you keep dogs safe on walks? For the moment, I have the walking option turned off but I'm open for drop ins. I feel more comfortable playing with a dig in its own home or backyard.
I just started with boarding services on Rover and I would like to add dog walking/mid day potty breaks also but how do you do multiple services (especially if you start getting multiple clients for each service) and do all of them in a day if your main focus is boarding. Im worried that boarding clients wont care too much for the fact that Im not home a chunk of the day and their dog would need to be crated. Any insight would be much appreciated.
Do you think a motivated and responsible 12 year old could do most of this with a little parental help? Trying to help my son think of summer jobs. Thanks.
Hes gotta be 18
Do you meet the dogs before hand to make sure they’re safe?
So, you are boarding in an apartment that you own or are you renting? If second if the case, how did you talk to your landlord about dog boarding permission?
Just set up the app how to I receive request haven’t got any past few weeks
How can you find clients who need services?
Dog parks, veterinary clinics, pet stores
I mean on the app.
Just started hope it goes well!
How is it going sp far?
Honestly I stopped because its not for me, but its a great app and service if you like animals just know what your signing up for with clients. @@KosmikGawdess
can you give more insights for new stater interested in this for part time.
Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Do you know why they may not approve of a person or how you get approved?
How is rover in the winter?
Holidays like thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE are very lucrative
I think I could use another set of eyes on my profile- I haven't been able to book anything. I'm not sure what it's missing?? I even have a referral from a THS client 😏
Do you only take dogs that are housebroken? My current small dogs use pee pads. How do you set up your house?
So do you pay taxes with the money earned? if yes, how does it work?
I am a 1099 worker so yes I have to pay taxes.
@@hannibalishungry thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated.
@@hannibalishungry so how much do you end up paying in taxes? is it worth it in the end?
Hi. Is it possible to do this outside the US?
question, as a 15 yr old who is starting to look out for jobs, I figured I could try dog sitting. I watch my friends dog and she pays me so I have some experience but I wanted to actually start talking money off of it and start doing more jobs. I found rover and I wanted to use this but it says on their website I have to be at least 18, im unsure of what to do now... what do you think?
lol im in that literal same situation
just lie about ur age on the app,
You need to wait until you’re 18. You’re not only a liability, but dishonesty will not end well for you, the owners, and Rover.
Ll I have my business and Charleston SC I only have 35 star reviews. How do you market without Rover? Appreciate any feedback.
Do you have an overnight pet boarding license?
Don’t need any licenses. I do have an animal handling certificate but that’s for commercial boarding facilities. I did that when I worked for someone else back in the day
Cool vid, thank you.
What is your tip for people who have no experience with taking care of pets? Never really grew up with pets so will this bring me less attraction?
You can get friends and family to provide reviews for you!
I would also ask them to pay for a walk or a boarding visit so you can get some reviews from paid clients
Volunteer at an animal shelter and ask for behavioral advice while you’re there :)
@@MadisonFalcoFoodsis that what you did
@@crishnaholmes7730 No, I have prior experience from growing up with many animals at the same time but I recommend the behavioral advice for anyone not familiar with pets
Which app should I choose on Georgia? Or any advice with what app works best?
Check out Rover and Wag
How di you create your account
Do I need to pay quarterly taxes on the money I make on Rover when the clients pay through the app??
WHat do you do? I made $5000 this summer and I think I need to pay 10% tax on that.
U better pay taxes irs will jump all over you
How long it takes for cash to your bank or it takes 2 days after?
It takes two business days
@@hannibalishungry thanks for replying I was just wondering because I did two walks this week I’m really loving it!
Do you have time off ever?
When do you think is right to increase the rates?
You doing this ?
Thanks so very kind ness
Okay so does it show you who needs sitter or walkers
check rover.com
Thank you
Rover assists guest in theft of services. I had an owner leave his dog extra days beyond the original booking that Rover will not pay me for.
Why the owner didn’t pay you?
i wouldn’t have gave the dog back until i received payment lol
As a rover sitter of over 5 years none of your prices mean anything unless we’re in your market. That’s beyond important to mention. As well as several other things but hey I’m not making the video.
How safe is it for a female to drop in at a stranger's house I'm terrified of that. Also there' s always the chance of getting mauled, I'd never do pitbulls, boxers, dobermans, dogs like that, too scary.
Triforce!!! Nice tat bro.
Thanks!
How is this business on Long Island?
What state do you live in? I’m in nyc

Is that a skateboarding Mickey Mouse painting in the background? Is it for sale?🐭
Email me
Hey i am curious to know what city you live in because thats really great profit and i highly doubt anyone cares about there pets in my city 🙂
he said nyc
How do you handle the multi-tasking, i.e. if you’re boarding a dog what do you do with them when you’re out walking another dog?
You just have to tie 1 dog to each limb + hands and walk 6 at once
I’m a terrible multi tasker,perfectionist, overthinker & don’t do this, but when my sister used to do Rover a lot when she was starting her other day job (unrelated) business… she used to just let the dog be in her apartment or taking them out for walks together if she knew they would not conflict.
I personally wouldn’t do this because I start thinking: “what if I left something out that they can get & drink/eat that’ll hurt them (cleaning products/small things to chew on/even a piece of chocolate)….but all the dogs she has sitted have turned out perfectly fine! I think it’s a matter of the way your housing is structured and the little voices in your head lol
This is Dogg Pound 4 Life😂
Nice and all until u realize nobody does walk requests
Imagine paying more than 200 a year dollars for a scheduling app. Then covering the cost with ridiculous prices then have rover add more fees on the customer side aswell. You guys are getting scammed and customers a gullible to convenience and click the first ad when they see dog boarding
I have no experience! There's no way that I can take this job. This sucks!
@0:55 lol
I don't think anyone would want four horsemen in any home.
How can u attract more people 😔?
Much easier than babysitting a child lol
Too many people have been scammed by this app.
