Why do I have to use PayPal to get paid?

This board is for sitters and dog owners. You should call Rover to ask about how long it takes them to cut a check. Then you have to factor in the mail system. On your Dashboard, underneath the balance, you will see Payment History. Click on that and you should see the processing dates for that and every payment.

You really should look into signing up for Paypal, as it costs nothing and the money gets deposited into whatever bank account you have, after you have gone through an easy verification process, in which Paypal deposits a few cents into your account and you notify them when it has been successful.
