I believe there needs to be an adjustment in pay for boarding pets in home over-night. For example, owner books 2 nights, yet day of pick-up they arrive in the evening. Therefore the sitter is taking care of pet for the majority of the final day but not getting paid for it.

I watched a dog in my home for 3 days and was paid for 2 (nights). On top of Rover fees being taken out, the take-home for 3 days of sitting comes to only a little over one night's fee. Ex: My boarding fee is $30 per night, I had a dog in my home for 3 days, and my earnings when all was said and done was $48.

In this case, as it stands, Rover appears to be a service that benefits the pet owners and Rover themselves, over the sitter, who is the one putting in the majority of the effort. I believe there needs to be an adjustment in payment so that boarding fees are calculated by entire time spent at boarder's home and not simply per night.
