The math
Rover’s published rates: 20% from you, 11% from your client, plus a profile review fee to join. Here’s how that adds up against a flat-rate platform that takes nothing.
| Rover | SnoutWalker | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per booking | 20% | $0.00 |
| Client booking fee (added on top) | 11% | $0.00 |
| Total platform extraction per booking | 31% | 0% |
| Profile fee to join | $49–$79 | $0.00 |
| Typical annual cost (active provider) | $2,808+ | $359.88 |
| You keep extra per year | $0 | $2,448+ |
*Commission percentages sourced from Rover’s published help documentation, April 2026. Savings calculation based on a provider completing 5 bookings per week at $35 average. Individual results will vary based on booking volume and rates charged. Rover is a trademark of A Place for Rover, Inc. SnoutWalker and SnoutSitter are not affiliated with Rover.
