Accepting Modifications to a Booking

Choose one or more services you'd like to provide, then select Save & Continue.

Create Your Profile This is the section where pet owners have a chance to learn more about you and your experience. Create a great first impression by saying a few words about yourself, adding some fun photos of you with a pet companion, and filling out your contact information.
Request Testimonials Get in touch with past contacts who can talk about their positive experiences with you as a pet care provider. Testimonials are a great way to build trust with pet owners. Pass a Safety Quiz Rover requires all pet sitters and dog walkers to complete our safety quiz. Complete an ID verification Give pet owner's peace of mind by submitting an ID verification from your Rover account.

What are Rover Cards and how do I send them?
What are Rover Cards and how do I send them?
Rover Cards give you the option to share information with your pet owners through the Rover app. You can send Rover Cards for walks, drop-ins, and day care services.
Rover Cards allow you to share the following information:
- A map of your walk with total distance (if applicable)
- At least one photo and an optional short message
- Potty breaks
- Food and water activity
Note: Rover Cards are needed for payment to process after a recurring service. If you prefer not to use a Rover Card, you can book each service separately as a non-recurring service.
How to start and send a Rover Card
Use of Rover Card data
Additional information
How to start and send a Rover Card
Note: In order to send Rover Cards, you need the Rover app. Download the app for free here.
You should start a Rover Card right when the service starts. This could be when the walk begins or when the pet enters your care—whatever you’ve agreed to with the pet owner.
- Open the Rover app and tap Home at the bottom of your screen.
Note: If you don't see the Home tab, sign out and close the app, then reopen it and sign back in. -
When you’re ready to begin a service, tap Start.
-
During the service, take a photo and track any events that happen by tapping the icons for pee, poo, food, and water breaks.
-
When you’re done, tap Stop to stop the clock.
-
Write an optional message, review the Rover Card, and make any edits you need. Then, tap Send to send it to your pet owner.
Tip: You can navigate away from an active Rover Card to use other apps on your phone during the service. The card will continue to run until you tap Stop. To reopen an active card, tap Home and select Open. To view past Rover Cards you’ve sent, tap More at the bottom of your screen and then tap Rover Cards.
Use of Rover Card data
It’s always up to you whether or not to use a Rover Card to share information with your pet owners. If you’d prefer not to use Rover Cards, that’s fine too — you can always arrange to provide walks, drop-ins, and day care services for your pet owners without them.
Rover Cards allow you to share information with your pet owners about the services you provide, such as the start time, stop time, length of service, photos, route of your walk, and other details.
Rover Cards are meant for you and your pet owners. Rover doesn't compile or analyse time data about individual sitters or use time data to make decisions about individual sitters. Additionally, Rover Cards don't collect information about vehicle mileage.
In limited circumstances, Rover may need to access or consider time data about an individual sitter if reasonably necessary to respond to a question from the sitter about their account, promote the safety of people or pets, address concerns about fraudulent or illegal use of the platform, as required by law, or in connection with legal matters.
Additional information
-
Your pet owners don’t need the app to get Rover Cards, but we highly recommend they download it. The app makes it easy to get updates and book services on-the-go.
-
It isn’t possible to resend a Rover Card. Your pet owner can view these at any time via Rover Messages or through the app by tapping More > Rover Cards.
- Booked walks and drop-ins are typically 30 minutes. However, if you and the pet owner want to book a longer service, we recommend booking back-to-back services. Go here for tips on how to adjust your rates on a per booking basis.

How do I manage a recurring service?
How do I manage a recurring service?
A recurring service allows pet owners to set a daytime service to repeat with you every week. Just book it once, and the service will repeat automatically until you cancel. This is a great way to set a consistent schedule with repeat pet owners.
You can set up a recurring service for dog walking, day care, and drop-in visits.
Accept a recurring service request
Modify a recurring service

Accept a recurring service request
If an owner requests a recurring service, it will be displayed in the Booking Details section, indicating that the service repeats weekly. Simply book the request as you normally would.

You can make changes to a recurring service for the current week or for future weeks. This allows you to:
- add upcoming services
- remove upcoming services
- edit service start times
- edit the schedule template (the regular set schedule you have with the pet owner)

Tap the pencil icon and select Cancel this walk/visit at the bottom of the service details.

To do this, tap the toggle icon in the Extras and Adjustments section, making it grey to waive the cancellation penalty.
- Once you’ve adjusted the booking, review your changes and write a short message to the owner explaining the updates. When finished, select Submit changes.

Some helpful information to know:
- Pet owners cannot modify confirmed bookings at this time. They’ll need to request a booking modification by contacting the pet care provider directly.
-
Pet owners must review and approve the booking modification within 72 hours of submitting the change. If the change wasn’t accepted, the booking will still remain active but unchanged.
- Cancellation policies are not applied to booking date modifications unless an owner shortens or completely cancels the stay.
- Payments for a service may be delayed for a booking if it was modified near the end of an active stay and the owner didn't confirm it until after the booking was completed. This is because pet owners have 72 hours to confirm a booking modification. In cases like these, your payment will be released 2 days after the owner’s confirmation.

The timeline to reach your account will depend on your bank’s processing times, but it goes from one to two business days.
When the funds are transferred to your bank, you'll see a ‘Fulfilled’ status on the Withdrawals tab of your payment history.
The fulfilment date indicates when Stripe initiated the transfer to your bank account. Most banks deposit these funds into your bank account as soon as they’re received, but in some cases, it can take up to 5 business days to see the funds in your bank.Important: Booking and getting paid through Rover is required per our Terms of Service. Never accept cash or checks as payment—this can expose you to fraud, get your account flagged for suspension, and make your stays and walks ineligible for the Rover Guarantee and dedicated support.
