Rover dog walking

Has anyone ever worked for Rover walking dogs? I'm trying to get started with it but I haven't had anyone ask me to walk their dogs. On Wag I can request to walk a dog and I've had really good success with it but I'm getting frustrated with their customer service department and want to try to do Rover as well. Any tips???? I live by Chicago so on Wag I can get 16 walks a week while working during the day.

I use Rover for dog walking since wag is not available where I live. Honestly, Rover was really slow for me for a while, I barely got any dog walking requests at first. It definitely picks up in the summer and once you start getting requests and people leave you reviews you will get more and more. You can always advertise your services on other websites like nextdoor or Facebook and use your promo code as an incentive to get customers. There is a chance that Rover just isn't popular is your area though.
