Adding Another Dog to Your Account

Before you can add another dog to a booking, you’ll need to create a new profile for the dog if you haven’t already. Here's how:

1. Navigate to your Dashboard or Profile by selecting your name in the upper right corner of the screen.

2. Select Add Dog from your dashboard or profile.

 

3. Fill out your dog’s profile and be sure to add photos!

Rover Tip: The more detailed your dog's profile is, the better your Rover sitter or dog walker will understand your dog's needs—that means a better booking for everyone.

4. Select Save. You’re all set!
