SPREAD THE WORD: Tell friends, family members, coworkers, etc about your new business and have them recommend you. Post a link to your profile on your social media accounts or craigslist (if it’s allowed in your area… anything with Rover links is disabled here). See if you can post fliers at local pet shops.
Also know, is it hard to work for Rover? It’s pretty easy work but make sure you know how long people expect you to be there for a day while you’re sitting because it can get a little ambiguous. Since the sitting fees are per night, if someone asks you to keep watching their dogs the rest of the day the job ends you don’t get paid for that at all.
Also, how long does it take for Rover to hire you? 2 answers. It takes about maybe 3 days to be hired. Almost no steps apart from registering and answering a couple of questions. They do not run any background checks, travel to your home to make sure you are able to accomodate pets safely.

Rover is a network of sitters, and while they do conduct background checks, they are for criminal purposes only and do not indicate how well the sitter will treat your pet.

TIp is not expected, but greatly appreciated. Everyone who works with a broker like Rover, Lyft, Uber etc etc gets about 20% of their earning taken by them.
