is the rover fee taken from owners and sitters?
hi i always wondered the rover fee that is taken from my booking as a sitter is 15% , Does rover charge the owner a fee as well ? i mean is the fee taken from both the sitter and the owner? lots of sitters would build up lots of clients and basically wouldn't need to book through rover anymore. i love rover, i know its secure 24 hour support and gives you lots of options with the calendar and everything and you wouldn't be able to meet so many dog except through rover ,, but shouldn't there be a certain loyalty program for sitters thats been on rover for over a year or something as a reward ..!!.. sometimes the rover fee is up to 50 dollars this means more than a day and a half for free of my whole stay ,if my stay is for 10 days or something i still think it's a lot,, since lots of sitters doesn't want to raise their price but you have no option, seems a little unfair .. if anyone is thinking the same please share with me your opinion. thanks
Sounds like you know: In 2015, new owners are charged a service fee of 5-7%, up to $25/booking. New sitters get 80% from each booking. Previous sitters get 85%. RoverGO sitters get 75% . Rover offers contests to earn $/GC, I wouldn't know my repeat guests that Rover connected, so 15% is ok w/ me.
