Note: Rover uses location information in the background for tracking active services. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Connect with trustworthy dog walkers and pet sitters who will watch your cat while you’re away, or walk your dog when you can’t–and above all give your animals the care they deserve.
Love the service, not so much the app!

I love Rover! It's an amazing service for dog owners and dog sitters. But the app needs some improvement. The calendar is pretty much useless as it doesn't show your bookings.
You have to pay to get hired!

I went through and filled out all of my profile information just to find out that I have to PAY them to interview me. The other issue is that you also need to pay for your own background check AND they take 20% of all of your earnings- which is incredibly steep. You’re better off finding your own clients off the app. Don’t waste your time.
