Do you have to be 18 to be a sitter?
I have graduated high school early and won't be 18 until December .Can I enroll to be a Rover sitter?

Congratulations on your graduation!! Unfortunately...I went back and scanned through the Terms of Service, and it does say that you must be 18.
"Children under the age of 18 may not register or otherwise use the Site or Services, and parents or legal guardians may not agree to these Terms on their behalf."
I'm really sorry. But as far as I know, it should still be legal for you to petsit, like babysitting, just not through Rover. I say make up some flyers to put up at pet stores, vet offices, dog parks, etc, and get your name out there and get some clients under your belt. Then when you turn 18, you'll have some great testimonials for your Rover profile!

Remember that you still need the proper licensing and insurance.
Unfortunately, Rover does require all sitters to be 18 years old, no exceptions. Thank you so much for your interest. Please come back when your 18 to apply to become a sitter, we would love to have you. If you decide to come back to Rover, you would also need to pass a background check before becoming a sitter.
