Rover does not have a drop off/pick up policy for you as a sitter to follow. One of the great things about Rover is that you can create your own policies and fees for your Rover business., so you can create your own rules in your business in being a dog care provider.
PLEASE NOTE: Any policies you wish to add, you would need to inform the client and add the fee manually to the request. It will not automatically apply.
I would recommend entering a detailed paragraph describing your pick up/drop off policies and/or if your wanting to charge a late fee in your 'About Me' section in your profile. Be sure to talk to clients so potential clients will be aware of your policies and won’t be surprised.
You can enter your policies/fees by clicking this link to your Detail section of your profile:
https://www.rover.com/account/profile/details/ (https://www.rover.com/account/profile...)
Scroll down to 'Why should a client choose you to take care of their dog?'
Here is where you would enter your descriptive information about your desired policy and fees.

I personally have a drop off/pick up policy for people to come get their pups within 4 hours. I charge $10 depending on how long the pick-up / drop-off times are apart. I discuss with clients at a meet and greet before booking. I do a cost adjustment for my policy, then book it after the new clients enter my promo code.
If the client fails to perform what they tell me, I send them an extended stay request informing them again of my policy, stating about the policies I have discussed at a meet and greet and sending a request for them to accept.
