how do I get paid?

That is correct. The owner pays Rover and Rover takes its fee and then pays you 48 hours after the job is completed. You can either request a withdrawal via Paypal (no fees for you) or have a check cut but Rover will charge you a fee for that, or you can sign up for automatic withdrawals.

It is all explained here:
