Click on the Payment History under your Rover balance and see where the $25 came from and how it can be used.
When you register here, you automatically are given 1 treat. What they represent (as you get nothing for them) is explained in the FAQ:
When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted it will gain points, which are called Treats. These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust in that user. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to users based on those points.
Looking for more detail? Here's an example. Say you ask an interesting question or leave a helpful answer — your input will be upvoted. On the other hand, if the answer is misleading, it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, and each vote against will subtract 0 points. There is a limit of 2000 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table below explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.
0 upvote 0 downvote 20 accept own answer to own questions 1000 change tags on other's questions 10000 edit any answer 10000 delete any comment

I see the example is not a based on real numbers, how can I keep track of my treats.
The number of treats you have accumulated shows under your name. If you click on your name, your profile shows up: https://www.rover.com/community/users/25217/?sort=stats Then you can click on the Treat link and it will show the ups and downs of the treats you've been awarded. https://www.rover.com/community/users/25217/?sort=reputation
