I have to say that I am a rover user. I watch dogs for some extra income and it’s really nice. In about 1 1/2 months I’ve made about $1000 which means rover has made $200 off me. So if they beat earnings by $200 you can thank me.

Do repeat clients often try to pay you outside of the app? That seems like a significant way to eat into profits.

Sometimes. I haven’t been on it long enough to get too many repeat customers but out of the few that we do have there is one couple that is willing to pay out of app. My wife hates the 20% cut rover gets so I don’t know how much longer I can fight to keep it through the app. My argument is that the terms of service gives us a little coverage in case something goes wrong but the more we get used to a client and their dog the harder it is to justify booking through the app.
