I professionally pet sat for a pet sitting company that required me to take courses/get certified in pet CPR, walking, emergency situations, administering medication etc Additionally, I volunteer for Hotel for Homeless Dogs. Both experiences have exposed me to walking puppies and large dogs. ABOUT RATE: I prefer getting paid off of Rover because Rover automatically deducts 20% of my total earnings and I know they charge the owners an additional fee. I accept Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, and Cash. Because Rover automatically deducts 20% of earnings/visit, I’ve developed rates that take into account the 20% deduction to ensure I receive a payment I am satisfied with. For example, if I charge $50, I will receive $40. I try to charge $15/hr, but I haven’t been able to find how to set an hourly rate. My rate is currently set to $115/night, with the assumption that I will be spending most of the day with the dog. The rate is also dependent upon the number of animals, activity, etc. I am able to modify payments per sitting. We can discuss payments one-on-one because I do try to be flexible!
