What Is A Rover Sitter?
A sitter on the Rover app is a person who uses the platform to offer dog walking and other services to pet owners in their local area.
How Does Rover Now Walking Work For Rover Dog Walkers
- You’ll get an app notification when an owner near your home requests a walk. You can also find nearby walks by looking at the requests tab in the app.
- Open the request to read about the dog, and to see when they need a walk. “Now” requests start within 30 minutes. “Later” requests are scheduled for a future day and time.
- Note: “later” walks also include walks that repeat every week
- If the request should be a good fit, accept the walk in the app, head to your client’s home at the requested time, and get walking!
