Extended Stays and why they don't offer an additional dog rate?

Mariana R.'s profile image

I don't understand why the Extended Stays are not consistent with the overnight stays. If someone books my services for an overnight stay for $45 for example I have it set that each additional dog is $5. But let's say I set my price to be more or less for the extended stay. Let's say I want the extended stay to be $60 a night, well if the owners have two dogs the Extended stay does not give the option to add an additional dog and I don't understand why? Just like an overnight booking I think an extended stay should have an additional dog rate. Thanks

IMO, that would be tough to implement (as fixed prices). But, if you wanted to specify "additional dogs are 50% off," that would be relatively easy to implement (and, I agree, it would be nice if the pricing were more flexible, schedule-driven).

I list a sliding scale in my profile:

  • days 2&3 are 10% off; days 4-7 = 25% off; 8-14 = 40% off; 15+ = 50% off.
  • 1st add'l dog = 50% off; 2nd = 60% off; 3rd = 70% off.

I created a spreadsheet[1] to quickly (reliably) report the price. (Then I "edit" the stay price to make a "one-time adjustment.").

It shouldn't be hard for Rover to implement that kind of table-driven discounting.
