how do I start making appointments

People looking for a sitter will read your profile and contact you via the Rover site. You will receive a message from the client, asking about your availability. The next step is setting up a Meet 'N Greet, where you discuss the sitting engagement, meet the dog, etc. If all goes well, then you would "Accept" the job and the pet owner will finalize by paying the Rover site. Rover would then send you a confirmation with the client's contact info.

As mentioned above, the Rover site has links to market yourself on Craigslist and other places like that. It is also important to keep your calendar on the site up-to-date, as well as respond to the specific tags for availability (Are you available this weekend or for Memorial Day?) which ostensibly might help your standing in a search.

Good luck!

If you're asking about how to get clients, you need to advertise your business. There are links on your dashboard - rover.com provides a lot of help in this area. Then you have to wait till someone finds you and requests you.

A great way to get your name out there is to post your page on Craigslist. Rover helps you out by providing you with pre-filled information to put into the body of the ad. I also share my page on local Facebook groups and make fliers for the supermarkets. Good luck!

I have a calendar. I write every thing on there from meet and greets and drop off and pick up times. It also help with taxes because I can track my mileage and income on it. I like it because its right in front on me and I wont miss anything. Helps with customers also, they can take a look and see my availably, if I have 8 dogs or just two. Hope that helps and happy sitting!
