Can Rover use a service like Payable for Taxes?

You are an independent contractor with Rover, so they are not responsible for your taxes. You do not need a 1099 to file taxes for your Rover income. Use the Schedule C to report your income and expenses. If you use tax software (I have been using TurboTax for years) it should walk you through everything for self-employment income and will calculate your self-employment tax. Same if you use a tax professional, they should tell you what information they need to complete your tax return and will calculate what taxes you may owe. It's really not difficult or complicated unless you have a lot of separate businesses.

Rover HQ rarely moderates this forum so they won't see your suggestion and they already have a relatinship with Stride for expenses and health insurance. Give them a call to make your suggestion [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed.
