2. Locate the conversation with the sitter you want to book with under Pending requests. Select the Book Now button.

3. Review booking details to make sure the dates, the number of pets, and the price details are correct, then enter/review your payment for the booking. If you have a coupon or promo code, click Enter promo code.

4. Click Request to Book.

 

Once the sitter accepts your request, the service has been booked. You'll receive an email confirmation and the stay will appear in the Upcoming bookings section of your account.

Your card will be charged for the entire service at the time of booking. Your sitter or dog walker will be paid within five working days of the end of the service. For more information on how payments work, check out the payment section.

  2. Book your request and enter your payment and billing information. 
  3. Enter any promo codes you may have and tap Redeem.
  4. Review your stay summary and tap Request to Book

Important:

  • Booking and paying through Rover is required per our Terms of Service.
  • Never pay your sitter or dog walker by cash or cheque, this can expose you to fraud and make your bookings ineligible for the Rover Guarantee and 24/7 support.
  • If you've changed your pending request to include additional dates or pets, your credit card will be charged the new rate. The previous charge for the first request will also appear on your credit card statement but will be invalid as soon as the new debit has been made.
  • If you need to make changes to your booking, please contact your sitter directly. If the sitter agrees with the changes, they can edit the booking from their rover account.
