Sitter Questions
About Leaving Rover for ThePetSitter
- You'll earn 20% more on every single booking. On a $100 booking, you keep $100 with ThePetSitter vs only $80 with Rover. Over a year, this difference adds up to thousands more in your pocket - money you've already earned but Rover keeps.
- Our professional verification process and comprehensive insurance attract serious pet owners who value quality care and are willing to pay premium rates. They know they're getting verified, background-checked professionals, not just anyone who signed up on Rover.
- Pet owners actively seek out verified, background-checked sitters after bad experiences with unvetted Rover sitters. Our professional verification badge immediately sets you apart and builds trust, leading to more bookings and repeat clients.
- 24/7 emergency veterinary hotline, comprehensive insurance with no exclusions, professional GPS tracking tools, automated client communication, and dedicated sitter support. Rover leaves you to handle emergencies alone.
- Immediately after each completed service. No more waiting days or weeks like Rover's payment system. Your earnings are available instantly through our advanced payment processing.
- Absolutely! Without the 20% commission burden, you can offer competitive rates to clients while still earning significantly more than you would on Rover. Plus, our professional platform attracts clients willing to pay for quality.
- Many of our sitters successfully transition their best Rover clients to ThePetSitter. You can offer them better service at the same or lower rates (since you're not paying 20% commission) while earning more yourself.
