Rover and Wag take a cut of every booking. Calculate exactly how much their fees cost you — and see what keeping 100% looks like.
Every walk, every sit, every visit — the platform takes their cut before you see a dollar. Those fees add up to thousands per year.
Clients book through the app, not through you. If you leave the platform, you lose the connection. Your reputation lives on their servers, not yours.
Algorithm changes, fee increases, policy shifts — you have zero control. Your income depends on decisions made by people who don't know your name.
Enter your numbers. See what the platform is really costing you.

For a detailed walkthrough, read our complete guide to leaving Rover.
Rover charges a 20% provider fee plus an 11% client fee, as publicly listed on Rover's website (last checked March 2026). This means for a $30 walk, Rover takes $6 from you and charges the client an additional ~$3.30 on top — a combined $9.30 that could stay in your pocket.
Wag charges approximately 40% in total fees, as publicly listed on Wag's website (last checked March 2026). On a $30 walk, Wag keeps roughly $12, leaving you with $18.
Most walkers keep the majority of their existing clients when transitioning. Clients who trust you care about the relationship — not which app they use. Set up your booking page first, then share the link with your regulars. The transition is smoother than you'd expect.
