Why should I run my pet care business on Rover?

Rover makes it easy to help you launch, grow, and maintain a thriving pet care business. We handle the tricky stuff so you can focus on growing your business, connecting with clients, and, of course, caring for pets in your community.

Here’s a look at what you can expect on Rover:

  • You’ll get your name out there! When you list your pet care services on Rover’s online marketplace, you're tapping into a huge marketing reach to connect with pet parents you might not meet otherwise. You’ll expand your potential client base instantly. We also make it simple to share your profile outside of Rover to drum up more business in your social networks.
  • We've got your back. Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Rover. Every single service you book through Rover is backed by 24/7 support and the Rover Guarantee. We also offer the features and support to promote safe and trustworthy experiences for both you and pet parents.
  • Get paid, no sweat. Say goodbye to awkward payment conversations. Our secure payment platform ensures you get paid by your clients on time, every time, so you never have to worry about a client forgetting to pay. Your personal bank info is protected and you can even set your own cancellation policies, so you're covered if a client's plans change at the last minute.
  • You're the boss. With Rover, you’re in control of your business. You choose your schedule, set your pricing, and customize your services and operating areas. You also decide which clients you want to book with and can build ongoing, repeat relationships with them. With the flexibility to step away, plan time off, or expand your offerings, Rover gives you the freedom to build a pet care business that fits your life.
  • Streamline your business. We've built a variety of features designed to help you run your business smoothly and offer safe, rewarding pet care experiences. These include:
  • The ability to set specific preferences for each service you offer.
  • Detailed pet profiles so you can view important info about a pet before you accept a booking.
