I'm on Rover and I've been killing it recently. It's so busy and I'm securing that 💰. 😊 its a great side hustle for extra cash. I personally don't go to clients house cuz I'm not comfortable with it(I only accept dogs in my house) but if you are, make sure you take all the precautions. 💜
Hey! I actually went full time on rover :') and i made my very first video on it! I started my video from scratch and now Rover is my full time job!! I shared about it in my video! I was inspired by thisvideo to make my own video about it :) I made over 10,000 this past month!!! but after rover fees, I only made a little over 8,000 :( But its definitely doable!!!!
Hi Regan your video is spot on! I joined Rover a few months ago and love it. I’m retired and have 3 acres, so most of my business has been boarding. It’s been interesting caring for different breeds. Right now I’m caring for 2 Great Danes which at first we’re a little intimidating, but they’re big sweeties. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Thanks again for all of your great advice.
This video convinced me to go ahead with Rover. Thank you! Also, full support for coming infront of the camera and talking about stuff like this. More impact than you'd think
Thank you so much Regan, this is very helpful. I just started with my first client, this tips you're giving its very important to keep in mind. We live in a big world and knowing how to manage things is a MUST. Again thank you so much! ❤😊🥰
Thanks for sharing your experience with us came 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
These were such great tips thank you!! I have 4 reviews and 1 repeat client so far, i never knew the tip about updating your calendar every week thats amazing! Also i checked sitters in my area and changed my rate to compete
Love this content! At one point I started making $2,000/weekly. It’s super easy to create your dog business when you love what you do and you go beyond! It will take time just like anything great does 🙌🏽
@@daniellelara5280 Yes! I have walks filled from 6am-2:30pm 11am lunch 7-12 walks daily. When I do housesitting I charge $100+ depending on the pets and dates (#of pets, weekends, holidays). I make $260/ daily with walks total $1,300 and pet sitted for 3 months straight. Overall amount came to be $2,000. So it’s not my usual income but when I pet sit it increases 🤩
I want to do this as a second job when I move out an get a place I love animals but I don’t have a car so I’m thinking of doing doggy day care where the owner drops their pet off to me an I’ll do dog boarding to I really would love to do this
You can also start off with people in your area! You’ll be surprised how many dog owners there are! Visit a dog park to advertise yourself by putting up posters and handing out cards when someone knows you do dog services!
I went full time on rover and made my very first video ( i had to restart my channel from scratch) about my full time income on rover. I'm super excited :') i feel like no one believed me when I said I made over 10,000 in June >_< definitely start it as a part time at first. You wont regret it!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm thinking about possibly getting into Rover for a side hustle and it's just so helpful to hear from other people's experiences!
Thank you so much for this video! I really enjoyed watching your perspective. I do this as well on the side, but wanted to see what your point of view was. You have very useful tips! I subscribed :)
How do you do it? You go to the clients house, park in the street and take the dog around their neighborhood? Or you take the dog into the car and find a near park ?
Hey Ciara! Yes, I always have to go into someones house or apartment to get their dog! Most of the time no one is home, however I do have one client that works from home and just wants her dog to have extra exercise. I have had a friend wait for me in the car or be on the phone with me the first time I enter a new clients home if I feel nervous about it. Hope that helps!:)
It’s does vary per pet owner. All clients are different. Some are home and some are not. Keys are on the lock box if it is for “Rover” or “Wag!”. Oh and some building if you do happen to walk at luxury building you deal with concierge & valet employees it driving to their home. Hope that help and since this comments is months old, I’m hoping your dog walking business is rocking!
@@reganriley2930 wait I’m terrified of the part about going into the house 😭what if they kidnapped me or some man do harm to me. I’m may be tooo paranoid
@@rubicamacho4306 haha I feel that! I haven’t had any problems so far. Trust your gut. I do meet and greets first. If someone is being sketchy over messages don’t go!
Yeah you're going to people's houses sometimes other times I'll meet you at the door and give you their dog. I know with WAG! Most of the time the clients are home but they have what is called a WAG! Lockbox which basically is a padlock with a 3 or 4 digit code that you put in and it unlocks the bottom and it has their house key to their front door. It reveals the coach you once you've arrived at the client's house so you can turn the dials to the right number and unlock the the bottom to gain access to the client's house. Also another tip if you're entering a person's house whether their home or not but more so if they're not always just assume that they have cameras in their house and that they are watching you just so you get in the habit of not doing something weird or kind of a little off to make the client feel uncomfortable or that maybe you you think no one is watching or listening to you say something that maybe they don't like. So just keep that in the back of your head and assume that every client is watching you on a nanny camera whatever so that you can just always act professional when entering someone's home.
You should receive your payment 48 hours after the stay or walk. Rover holds the funds for that period just to ensure that everything went well and there is no need for a refund. Once the 48 hours have passed, you should receive pay!
It was $25 and just took a few days for them to background check me! I made the money back fairly quickly. Plus if you are a rover sitter and refer a new sitter to their site using your code, you get $50 visa paid gift card:) hope that helps!
I personally never have but I also have never asked. I have done doggy day care w my dog at home with the rover client though! But I also let the owner know I have a dog at home. If their dog doesn’t like other dogs I probably won’t accept them for doggy day care just because I have one at home. If this is something you are hoping to do maybe put it in your bio or ask the owner beforehand.
Now I don't see really a rule about this with Rover but if you are doing it with WAG! For safety reasons they don't allow you to bring other dogs or pets with you while on your walk unless they're the dogs from the client's house. This is a safety issue 4f like the client's dog is aggressive towards other dogs and things. But I mean if you have a legitimate service animal and that's different. I know for boardings I have two chihuahuas at the house I've had other dogs over at the house while my dogs are here. It's really up to the client if they feel comfortable with that or not. With Rover there is just have to read your profile saying that you have your docs in the house or you can even take on multiple dogs at once they just need to be known that you have other dogs there at the time if they're requesting a boarding. With WAG! Before you do a boarding there is some pre-selected questions that the client marks yes or no to such as has their dog had all their shots, is their dog spayed and or neutered, does your dog get along with other dogs, does the client feel comfortable with you having dogs in your house.
Hello! So I have the rover app and it asked me for a $25 background check and I’m wondering if it’s worth doing that? I’m signed up and eager to start but the only thing holding me back a bit is the background check haha. Thank you in advance for replying to my comment!💕✨
That’s a great question. I did it immediately because pretty much everyone in my area had the badge on their profile. So I’m not sure if it did make a difference or not. I can tell you though that it wasn’t hard to make back that money. Also if you refer someone to be a sitter you do get money if they use your link and sign up! $50 I believe (if they complete a stay within 90 days) so maybe you could split the cash w them!
@@reganriley2930 oh wow that’s pretty neat! I may do that! Haha I may also just try out my flyers first for a while and if that’s slow I’ll just sign up for rover! Thank you so much for the reply!💕✨

So they drop the dog in your house or you have to go to their house ?????because I don’t have a car I wanna know if they can stay with me and walk them so they pick them up
Thank you for this video. I've created most of my profile up to paying the $35 fee. One thing that bothers me is going in people's houses and later then saying you took something. Not that I would EVER, but you know how people are. Did you have this fear?
Hi , thank you for the video If I do rover what’s the farest should go for a drop in visit ? In order to make some money ? Like how many miles far the most ? Thank you
Really just depends on how much you make on the visit. I usually base everything on time. How long will it take you to drive there and back + complete it? If it takes an hr total and you make $20 that's not too bad.
@@artaddictionhube772 hello! So I’m eager to start my rover dog walking but I have to pay the $25 and I’m not sure if its worth it or not....how did you not have to pay the $25?
The app will tell you where they live. & you mainly just use the app to document walk time, that you gave them food and/or water & you’ll take pictures of animal. Most of the real instructions are from the client themselves.
They can request you to do a 30 min or hr drop in. Most of mine do 30 mins. They tell you how to enter their house/apartment and what they want you to do.

Thanks for the tips and clearing up our confusion!
Needed this, thanks girl!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad I could help!😋
Aside from the deductions from rover, do you have to file for taxes? This has me confused, i don't want to get in any trouble, thank you!!
Yes you have to file your own taxes
have you ever had problems where your payment is pending? mine is still pending and i’m not sure if it’s going through my paypal or not
You should receive your payment 48 hours after the stay or walk. Rover holds the funds for that period just to ensure that everything went well and there is no need for a refund. Once the 48 hours have passed, you should receive pay!
Side note: I LOVE your hair color lol
OMG hahah Thank you!!!
Do you carry extra insurance outside of rover to be a pet sitter/boarder?
No I just use rover!
How was the background check progress like?
It was $25 and just took a few days for them to background check me! I made the money back fairly quickly. Plus if you are a rover sitter and refer a new sitter to their site using your code, you get $50 visa paid gift card:) hope that helps!
