Rover typically takes a 20% service fee from dog walkers and sitters on each completed booking. This fee comes out of the total you charge your client, and Rover keeps it in exchange for platform access, customer support, payment processing, and liability coverage features.
While 20% is the standard, Rover’s fee can vary in limited cases based on account history, location, promotional programs, or legacy terms. Always check your account’s Service Fee details in your Rover dashboard to confirm the exact percentage applied to your bookings.
If you charge $20 for a 30-minute walk and your fee is 20%, Rover keeps $4 and you receive $16 (before any taxes). For a $30 walk, Rover keeps $6 and you receive $24.
