How it works
Rover connects UK pet owners with people offering dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, as well as home boarding and day care where appropriate. You choose the services, prices, availability and pets you can safely handle. Approval includes a safety quiz and identity/right-to-work checks; it is not instant employment or guaranteed bookings. This suits someone with genuine animal-care experience and enough reliable time to take responsibility for another person’s pet.
Rover’s UK fee page currently says sitters generally retain 85% of booking earnings, with rates potentially varying by account and service. Check your own fee and any profile-review charge before committing, and allow for travel and insurance. Payments begin processing after a completed service rather than when you accept it. Check local licensing before offering care: commercial home dog boarding requires a licence in England, and rules elsewhere need checking with the relevant council. Arrange a meet-and-greet and read the Rover Guarantee’s exclusions rather than assuming it replaces your own insurance.
