Is this a Scam or real?

I'm not sure if this is a scam or not...but $200 per month is way too low! That's less than $7 per day! Even $350 per month is very low. Remember, it is 24 hour care each day for an entire year! So that might mean you'd have to pay someone to sit the dog when you want to (or have to) get away. Also...what about food, veterinary costs, etc? And the fact that services are pre-paid, so you won't get your pay until the stay is over...after a YEAR! There is always a risk of someone abandoning their pet, and I would think even more in a situation like this. I would think long and hard about this one....talk it over with family (or whoever else lives in your home with you), and definitely get a higher rate (research other long term boarders in your area to see how much they charge - kennels, vet clinics, independent sitters, etc. Good luck!

Along with what Mary said I also think you should call Rover Support and have them look at the client account and to discuss your concern's about this potential booking. [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team]

You can get them to set up multiple bookings, one per month. Rover has dog abandonment clause but you'd want to write up their own. Honestly if you tell them what the rate will be, and they won't want to do it. Advise them to contact local shelter and see if there are any foster options for them. Also if you tell them that it will be 7,300 (20/day) and they still want to meet, simply meet at local park first. A public area.

Our gut usually tells us what to do in a situation. I personally would have someone from Rover talk with this client. $20 a day is way too low for 24 hour care. Also who will pay for ongoing care, grooming, food and supplies? What if the dog gets sick? I would steer clear of this whole scenario and ask Rover support to look into it.
