What are your two busiest and slowest months of the year?

New to rover. Joined this past sept. I assume the holiday season (now) and the summer months to be the busiest time, but just wondering what others experience is, for those who have been doing this for at least one full year. What two months would you say you work the most, and which two months of the year are you slowest? Just wondering what to expect, and when the best time is to plan my own vacation.

Thanks!

I've been with Rover for 3 full years, according to my experience. The slowest months are Sep after labor day until November. The time between January after the new year holiday, and Spring break is pretty slow too.

I think there's a lot of individual variation. Summer and major holidays I think are probably overall the busiest, but for me, last spring, April in particular, was probably my busiest time (in terms of number of dogs in a short span), and I've been booked for long stays over Christmas/New Year for the couple years I've been active on Rover. Since the new services went live, I've also picked up a regular daycare client and dog walking client, so I currently have more bookings than I normally would, but I wouldn't call myself busy, exactly, if you know what I mean. Just a couple walks and a few hours of daycare a week. I do appreciate having a more regular schedule in that regard, since it makes planning a lot easier.
