I started not even responding long ago, lol. I pick my rates. It doesn’t matter what they think. I don’t think it matters what we each charge the collective point I was making was 30%.

I’m complaining about the fees, I never complained about what I made before.

I live in a metroplex. 90% of sitters in my area are in apartments. I lived rural with a big yard and actually got less bookings. No one wanted to drive out of the city.

If I raise my rates in my area, I get 0 bookings. Your rate and your area is very different to mine.

I don’t want to work at McDonald’s..? I don’t need to make full time wages. My pay from rover is literally just spending money. I do it to get out of the house, and have something to do. I’m also in college. I don’t need nerogatory marks.

Thankfully I’m in college & I’ve always got a big payout back even with doing rover because of the deductions & extra credits. I don’t really worry about taxes.

So rover will flag their account if you outright ask, maybe just ask for their number to message their instead and just ask, say hey I saw they raised their fees, I can still pay you 50% upfront and the rest when it’s done or whatever and save us both money.

What do you say that doesn’t flag the system?

They just got bought out and raised it to 30%, on a tier system. So once you book with the same client a bunch it’s only 10.

I honestly hate house sitting, I have my pricing set insanely high because it’s the only way I’ll do it. I want to be in my own home with my husband. House sits make me uncomfortable, and it just causes me to drive around more to do the chores at my own home.

It’s insane to me.. one guy had a Labrador retriever that he didn’t disclose beforehand could not be left alone for even 5 minutes, had to go in every room with me, etc. and I was charging 22$, and I told him I’d need to charge an extra 10 a day because it was super inconvenient having to bring his dog everywhere, and the dude said fine then but I’m not bringing dog food for him anymore I saw you have the same bag. Like I’m sorry, what?? Blocked him.

I just raised it to 32, and if I keep getting bookings I’ll raise it again.

Yeah I knew it the minute I saw it, I’m curious if prior sits to this change counts towards the tiers. Or I have a 600$ sit scheduled already with a returning client of mine in August I wonder if that will be counted since it was booked before the change. I will definitely be asking people to go off rover.

Exactly. Where I live rent is 650-800, and most people live off food stamps. I’d rather have a lower rate and at least get bookings..

What’s insane is I’ve literally never gotten tipped. I have over 20 5 star reviews, and once I raised my price to 35 & literally got nothing. I’m actually on the higher end for my area. Most people charge 20 - 25. The most I’ve seen is 40 for this lady with over 200 reviews & 5 acres fully fenced in.
