Become a Dog Sitter with Rover

I remember as a young college student taking on dog sitting jobs quite regularly. I was a full-time college student and working a mostly full-time job and didn’t think I had time to add much else into my schedule but dog sitting was a really great way for me to earn extra income and had a lot of flexibility. I could do it as little or as much as I wanted to and fit it in around my other commitments. Back then I relied on friends, coworkers, and family to refer me to others who needed a dog sitter. Things are different today when it comes to becoming a pet sitter and getting the word out.

 

Become a Dog Sitter with Rover

Thanks to Rover, pet owners can find professional sitters who’ll care for their pets at home while they are away.

You set your own rates and schedule. On average, sitters registered with Rover earn between $1000-$3300 a month. That can be a nice side income stream!

    My niece does a lot of dogsitting for people she knows. I will have to tell her about Rover.

    I think it would be so much fun to be a dog sitter! I love dogs, but my son is super allergic to them.

    When we go out of town, it’s so stressful to think about who will care for our dog. She’s a part of the family, and it doesn’t feel right to leave her at a kennel. A dogsitter through Rover would be a huge blessing. I hadn’t ever considered becoming a dogsitter before, though!

    This might work well for students who want to work but can’t get a traditional job due to school. Your dogs are very handsome.
