Here is your Rover phone number: 858-429-5265. Only clients who have set up an account through Rover can contact you with that phone number, so I wouldn't recommend handing it out to just anyone or putting it on marketing materials. If you use the drop-down menu at the top right hand corner of the main Rover page (it's next to your name/photo), select Settings. Under the Notifications tab, you can choose to have your Rover messages forwarded to your personal phone number. Here you can also select when a client can contact your Rover number. I have mine set to only after a stay has been booked, but personally have never had a client call. They all have just used the messaging system.

Again, thank you so much Hillary! That is exactly what I needed to know. Gratefully, Dawn

Hi - Hillary's answer is incorrect! Rover sitters DO NOT have a dedicated Rover phone number. New Rover numbers are assigned with each client-sitter relationship, what that means is you have a different Rover number with each client. Only that client can call you on the assigned number, and you can also call them on the same number.

Thanks, Walt. I did not realize that we have a different number for each client. That seems crazy! I just clicked "Contact Dawn" and that was the number it showed for me. I appreciate the information.

Thanks to you both for your help! When someone asks for my Rover Number, I will just tell them to refer to my profile then. I also don't mind giving out my personal phone number..... especially for repeat clients & clients that are traveling out of the country. Thanks :D

Once a booking is accepted by both the sitter and client, cell or other phone numbers are provided in the booking details
