Hi there - I'm a new sitter and have been getting lots of requests for weekend boarding with drop off times usually early in the morning on Saturday and then 7pm-10pm in the evening on Sundays.

I mainly use Rover for fun and for interaction with dogs, it is not my main source of income by any means, however I've noticed that since Rover only recognizes overnight fees, a stay that begins 9am on Saturday and concludes 7pm on Sunday (or later as I've gotten requests for pick ups as late at 10pm) are sent to me at my nightly rate of $25. While the dog may not be sleeping over on Sunday night, it is with me through the whole day and into the evening - do owners expect to pay just the one nightly rate or is it appropriate and well received by owners to ask for a pick up within 24 hours or to charge a half day rate in addition to the overnight rate, so in my case, $25 + $12.5.

Additionally - what is a respectable pick up hour? I personally am an early night person, especially on a Sunday before the work week and worry that allowing a later evening pickup, aka an 8pm, could turn into a 9pm or 10pm pick up if the person is stuck in traffic or some other travel related issue. What do folks tend to do with Sunday pick ups and if a person does run late?
