1. Many Rover and Wag Sitters Cancel Last Minute

Did you know that up to 18% of Rover bookings are canceled by the sitter, often with no backup plan? According to a 2022 pet owner survey, 40% of users experienced at least one last-minute cancellation on Rover or Wag in the past year.

That’s stressful—and risky.

2. You’re Paying the Same—But Getting Less With Rover and Wag

The average 30-minute walk on Rover costs $22–$30—but many walkers have no training, no certifications, and no professional experience. These platforms don’t require:

• Pet first aid or CPR certification

• Animal behavior knowledge

• Background in enrichment or reactivity support

At Playtime Adventures, your pets are in expert hands:

• Certified in pet CPR, first aid, and canine enrichment

• Trained in behavior handling and fear-free techniques

• Fully bonded and insured for your peace of mind

Why pay premium prices for an amateur when you could have a certified, insured pet sitter?

3. The Rover Guarantee Is Not Real Insurance

Many pet owners are surprised to learn this:

The Rover Guarantee is not insurance.

It’s a limited reimbursement policy—with strict exclusions—that only kicks in after your own insurance is billed first.

In 2023, fewer than 35% of claims under the Rover Guarantee were paid out.

At Playtime Adventures, we carry real commercial liability insurance—which means:

• Your home is protected

• Your pets are protected

• You are protected

4. We Go Beyond Basic Care With Enrichment & Emotional Wellness

Most gig workers are there to walk, feed, and go. At Playtime Adventures, we offer enrichment-based pet care designed to stimulate your pet’s body and mind.

Our visits include:

• Snuffle games and foraging

• Scent work and brain games

• Positive reinforcement and calm handling

Studies show pets that receive daily enrichment are up to 50% less likely to develop anxiety and destructive behavior.

5. We’re in This for the Long Haul—Not a Season

Rover and Wag users tend to be seasonal, part-time sitters.

👉 The average profile on Rover is only active for 4–6 months.

👉 Fewer than 20% stay active beyond one year.

That means your pet may love someone today—and never see them again tomorrow.

At Playtime Adventures, we build lasting relationships with your pets and family. Whether you need puppy care, drop-ins, enrichment walks, or senior pet support, we’ll grow with you through every stage of life.
