That’s crazy, I just signed up for Rover, I’ve been doing wag for about a month and love it so I thought I’d try Rover too for more opportunities. I had a walker cancel on me on Wag the moment I got there but since I was already on my way Wag charges them a $25 cancelation fee to pay me for the wasted time.

Hey! I actually went full time on rover :') and i made my very first video on it! I started my video from scratch and its my full time job!! I was inspired by your video to make my own video about it :) I made over 10,000 this past month!!! but after rover fees, I only made a little over 8,000 :( But its definitely doable!!!!

I’ve been on rover for several years and this is news that they do on demand dog walking. They just added hour walks here, so they must be gearing up to release in my city. Thanks for the information
On- demand dog walking through Wag does sound like a great way to build experience but not being able to do a meet and greet with owner and dog before booking the walk like Rover has is a major turn off for me. I’m new Rover with no clients yet. It’s frustrating but all you do is be patient
I can't imagine someone who makes a full-time job from this and people canceling like that that's like part of your rent money gone I would've been so pissed
@@rickycain3141 Because middle parties like Rover can hold dog walkers accountable. Dog walkers for Rovers have to log their walk, and sometimes take pictures of proof that the dog has indeed been walked. Some customers like myself don't mind paying a little more just to make sure there are assurances that the service actually took place. Plus, if you have a complaint, you can consult a customer service representative.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. coming back with an update! I LOVE ROVER!!! It became me and my husband's full time job! I logged my 1 year update on my youtube channel. we made over 230k on rover in one calendar year!! Super duper crazy. i'm just so grateful for the platform
Thank you so much for your video. It was very interesting. And you explained it very very good. I got all the questions that I had you were able to answer them and I thank you very much for taking your time out to put that video up
Great video...a lot of helpful insights. Have you dealt with loose dogs approaching you and your Client's dogs ? That's a big concern for me...protecting a Client's dog.
I'm trying to start on rover I live in escondido California and I work at lowes and I hate lowes I'm stressed to much during corona and I want dogs to release my stress and people are coming into my work like a zombie apocalypse is gonna happen
Owners supply the collars and leashes and most supply bags, I always just kept a couple extra in my purse in case someone didn’t have any or I ran out though!
I just did my first walk yesterday. When does the payment process? I’m starting to day walks just about every day so I’m just curious how the payment system works.
Nope, most owners have a lockbox and give the walker the code, but most of the ones I went to were all in high rises with front desks where I would check in and get the key
Hey you should try this they pay really good in an hour I can make about $40 an hour or more you can do in store shopper if you have a car you can do full service which is shopping and delivery shoppers.instacart.com/?referral=JOSHUAR2810A
Once u set up your rover profile when u add dog walking as a service they will make you read some stuff and take some easy quizzes...the final step in that process itll tell u to come in person for the harness test.
Izzy when you see an On Demand job does it tell you how close the job is or is it random? If I wanted to select On Demand jobs that were blocks away as opposed to miles, could I do that?
Yep! You can check out every detail of the walk before you book it! Including where exactly it is on the map, the dog, and all that is requested from the owner!
As a dog walker is there ever a time when you decide not to walk a dog. For instance if the temperature is excessively high or low, or if it is raining really hard or there is a thunderstorm?
the dogs you walk are they well beghave all the time? my dog has been trained and I pay a walker for regualar walks and he comments how well behaved my boy is :) I used a product called brain training 4 dog really changed my dogs behavior, you should recommend it to your clients.
Hi, I just got my profile approved and became a Rover sitter and walker. I booked my first walking job that starts tomorrow. However my app doesn’t have the Rover Card, or at least I can’t find it.

Hi, I'm fresh out of high school. I'm interested in working for Rover and am just wondering what you thought of the process of hiring? Any tips or advice?
I want to start being a dog walker but im afraid i wont make much money, I live in Los Angeles which is a huge city but because of the virus would i be able to make money?
You can tell the size of the dog before you book it and read its description. So if you think the dog may be to big or aggressive for you, you don’t ah e to book the walk

Rover allows cancellation fees, now. They let the dog walker decide how "strict" their cancellation policy is.

How to be on demand dog walking ?
I never got my $25 Background Check that I know of....
Do u have to supply your own collar and bags to pick up their poop?
Owners supply the collars and leashes and most supply bags, I always just kept a couple extra in my purse in case someone didn’t have any or I ran out though!
I just did my first walk yesterday. When does the payment process? I’m starting to day walks just about every day so I’m just curious how the payment system works.
What about in a regular house (not an apartment) do the owners just tell you where they hide the key to get in?
Yep! Some people get a lock box and tell you the combination for it
Such an informative video. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the info very helpful!!
Glad I could help!
Might start walking dogs to get a gym membership, and some extra cash🙌🙌
I just joined Rover but I'm confused as to how to work the calendar on it...how do do I put myself down as available for the days that I pick?
Do I have to give the dog walker a key to my house? Do you just have a keychain with 15 different keys? I don't understand
Nope, most owners have a lockbox and give the walker the code, but most of the ones I went to were all in high rises with front desks where I would check in and get the key
How can I find a rover location near me to take the test? I looked it up already but one is out of state
Ckeck the rover policy for ur city
How do you apply for the In person test ? Cause I live in New York and I don’t know how
Hey you should try this they pay really good in an hour I can make about $40 an hour or more you can do in store shopper if you have a car you can do full service which is shopping and delivery shoppers.instacart.com/?referral=JOSHUAR2810A

I wanna know about the background check process. Tell me how does it works out?
You basically just pay them $15 and they do it for you!
On rover you also have the choice to do the free background check. They just make sure that you haven't had any criminal history and stuff like that.
$25 now.

here Izzy look them up bit.ly/2D86ZBl
Most were well behaved enough to take on walks, some would be a little hyper or jumpy but owners would warn me most of the time beforehand
Could you tell me if the on-demand dog walking is still a thing? I can’t seem to find that tag on the app.
Can u take ur own dog whit the dog u walk Bc I have to take my husky anyways so I’m wondering if I can sign up so I get paid lol

Love the video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

how do i become a on demand walker my profile just got accepted and im very i paid 25 dollars for a backgground check , how do i register to be one
You have to go online and register for the in-person test first!
I want to start being a dog walker but im afraid i wont make much money, I live in Los Angeles which is a huge city but because of the virus would i be able to make money?
There might be some down time now with the virus, but in a big city like that I wouldn’t be too worried
@@IzzyChouinard thanks Izzy
Do we need to have waste bags?😁
I always brought a couple just in case, some people didn’t provide them or were out😬
Is it safe if a client wants to pay thru cash app or venmo?
The client never pays you directly! It is all don’t through the app. I did have one person tip me cash though.
How do I do un demand? I just started with rover.
You have to register to do an in person test first!
how much is the payout for Rover say over a month span?
Depends on how much you did it, I would normally only walk on the weekends and made around $300 a month or so
How is the quitting process? Like what's it like once you wish to stop working w/ rover
You can literally just stop if you’re only doing on demand!
If you have regular clients, you should probably give them a couple weeks of notice at least, just like any job.
can I bring my dog along with me
Did you ever come across dogs that were too aggressive and if so did you still take the job?
You can tell the size of the dog before you book it and read its description. So if you think the dog may be to big or aggressive for you, you don’t ah e to book the walk
How do you collect money on Rover?
They give it to you 2 days after you finish your walk!
Do they also need people that feed cats when folks are on vacation?
I haven’t come across this yet but I’m sure there are!
hello Izzy can you tell me the best way to find clients I leave in London maybe is different than Chicago
I only did on-demand so they just pop up on the main page and whoever books them the fastest is the person who gets to walk them!
Will it work in london
There might be slightly different rules but I’m assuming it’s very similar!
There should be some kind of income that you get reimbursed for cancelation-wise.
There is
how much does the screening and background check cost?
$15
Really? Its was between 25 to 35 dollars for me...
Oh, I was about to register for this for fun, but maybe now I don't think I'm gonna do it. And thanks

On Rover, you can choose to do drop in for cats and probably the pet sitting would also allow for cats.
