Drop in visits are mainly welfare checks and for feeding and potty breaks. That being said, I operate a bit differently depending on the circumstances and the owner preferences. If I have multiple drop in visits scheduled over multiple days, the first visit of the day is for feeding breakfast, potty break, and general play. The second visit will include a walk, potty break, and play. The third visit is a repeat of the morning visit - feed, potty, play. But each sitter is free to set individual rules and procedures.
No, they do not include a real walk, although some sitters may. You are there to see to the pet, play with it, and let it outside for a potty break. If there' isn't an appropriate place for the dog to go, then you would do a mini walk. Remember, the service is for the same amount of time, but there may be an expectation you will take care of the dog's indoor needs so a full-length walk is not possible.
As a Rover sitter, you are independent and an establish your own practices. Just be sure that the client knows what he/she is getting.
Hi! Not necessarily, they are more so for Stopping by to (Check on the animal, Feed , give water , Potty breaks, litter cleaning etc)... Now I believe it's your choice on rather or not you would like to walk the Dog on your Own. However; I would discuss a "30-min Walk" as a separate Servi..
..ce and give the client your booking rates for a "Walk" as well. Most Sitters charge $15-20 for that service. Hope this helps
