Will rover ever have a way to price doggie daycare?

I'm no Rover employee, but I've heard from employees that this is in the works. No idea when it will roll out, but recently they did add day care to the filters in the Rover search, so some progress has been made.

I'm facing that with overstays after the 24 hours. Have made up my own rates of $3hr after a 3 hour pickup window. I am only interested in booking a block of days stay so when I get a daystay request I refer them to a doggie daycare business.

This is something sorely lacking with Rover. Hopefully, they will rectify this soon and make it easier for us and our clients to utilize this service. Great question.

I have been wondering this myself. I'm curious to know how other sitters are currently handling these requests, as far as pricing. Most potential clients ask me what my rate would be, as they are assuming it's going to be less than my overnight rate. Do other sitters charge less for daycare, or do you just charge the same rate as overnight?

This summer has especially been the demand for just doggie daycare. This is how i look at it. I assume you have done your due diligence and checked out your competition. Your rates have been well thought out and competitive. What I have been telling my doggie parents when this topic comes up is this "my rates for the day or overnight is the same. While there are parents that aren't ready for overnight stays just yet, I don't put a required pick up drop off time on my rate, therefore i am able to avoid any other hidden charges in my per day/night rate". I never once get questioned with this response. I have lowered my rates for clients that are consistent daycare goers. Otherwise, you need to look at it like one spot filled. If you lower your rate just for daycare, you are passing up an overnight client that would have paid your normal rate.

Hope this helps,. Just be confident in your response. You are providing quality care, there is no reason to nickle and dime it,
