[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Rover sitter and they take 20%. I would say maybe a quarter of my customers tip. Many of my long term clients have moved off Rover so we can both avoid the hefty fees. In fact, most of my clients are corresponding with me directly. [/quote]

Hi, when you go direct with a customer, do you charge them 20% less (the amount Rover would take?). How does that usually work? I'm new at this. Thanks! :) [/quote]

You can't message someone on rover to go private. They have algorithms to read your messages and will ban your account.  If you meet them in person and have their personal cell number... then you can go off Rover.

Rover also charges owner a service fee. So typically, Rover sitters will have their regular rate, but it will save owners up to $50 as they don't have a service fee. But I would not do this for a new client, only one for whom we both know and trust. If it's a long trip, sure I may give a discount. But if they're re-booking me, that means they know and trust me to do a good job (and worth my rate).
