About the position
As a Pet Sitter with Rover, you will have the opportunity to earn money by caring for dogs in your home or around your neighborhood. This position is perfect for animal lovers who want to set their own schedule and work as much or as little as they desire. You will be your own boss, allowing you to make your own rules and enjoy the flexibility that comes with working for yourself. You can choose from a variety of services to offer, including dog boarding, dog walking, doggy day care, drop-in visits, or house sitting. Rover provides 24/7 support to ensure you have the assistance you need while managing your pet sitting business. To get started, you will need to create a profile on Rover.com that showcases your skills and love for animals. Once your profile is approved, pet parents will be able to find you and contact you for their pet sitting needs. This role is ideal for individuals who are already in the pet care industry, such as freelance dog care providers, vet techs, and vet assistants. It also suits teachers, retirees, or anyone with a flexible work schedule. Many successful Rover sitters come from diverse backgrounds, including customer service, sales, retail, and the restaurant industry. Previous experience as a babysitter or caregiver can be beneficial, as the role requires care and attention to the pets you will be looking after.
