Rover gives you the option to set a service area based on your current location for travelling services (house sitting, drop-ins, and walks). This makes it easy to continue offering services in a different area while travelling.
Here’s how to update your service area:
Rover app
- Tape the More menu, then tap Profile.
- Select the pencil icon, then choose the service you want to update.
- Scroll down to Service Area and set your new service location by dragging the pin within the map, or by manually entering the address of your location.
- Deselect Use my home address by tapping the toggle icon to the left.
- Set the miles in the Service Radius field to choose how far you’re willing to travel (up to 100 miles).
- Tap Save.
