Rover Cards? GPS?

Today is my last day of dog walking a client's dog. While I was on the bus on my way to her home my phone turned red and stopped working! It is completely dead and won't turn back on! I was freaking out since I had no way to contact her in the morning. I brought my laptop with me, since it is a three day walk, and there was no point in me leaving when I live pretty far from the client. I was going to use my personal Hotspot to connect to Wifi, but that went down the drain when my phone is dead. I took out the dog in the morning, and knocked on the neighbors door, but they weren't at home at the time. I waited until 1PM and went back to the neighbors and explained to them what had happened. They are letting me use their WIFI since they are the owners of where my client is staying. I asked the lady if she could contact my client, and she did. As soon as I connected to WIFI I spoke to my client explaining what happened and was very sorry this occurred. My question is since I don't have a phone right now Rover won't track my steps. Can Rover penalize me or take away the pay of today because of that? I sent her photos of her dog from my laptop camera in her home. She said she understood what happened and wasn't a problem, but I'm afraid Rover might not pay me because of the GPS not tracking my steps during the walks. Does anybody know what happens in this occasion?

You will be paid for the service. If your booking mandates you provide a Rover card, you will probably get an email asking if you performed the service, and since you did perform the service the email will ask you to contact Rover Support. So why don't you do it now and have the team update the booking. [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed.
