Pet Transporter Tipping
When it comes to tipping a pet transporter, there is no set amount. It really depends on the service you received. If transported safely without problems, a small tip is appropriate. Transporters make income from fees, but tips are a positive incentive for care. Expectations around tips may vary on who you hired. Small, private transporters offer personal services, larger companies transport pets widely with drivers on common routes. A typical tip is 15-20%. A tip shows respect for efforts.
Puppy Nanny and Rover Tipping
Do you tip a puppy nanny? Final payment is made when delivered. Tips are appreciated as flying with puppies is not easy.
Should I tip Rover? Tips are not required but are appreciated. Rover takes a 15-20% service fee, so the caregivers receive 80-85%.
A little extra ensures a safe flight for your furry friend. Consider things like flight length and whether food/water was provided when deciding on a tip.
Tipping Amounts and Methods
Tips are usually not mandatory but serve as a show of gratitude for the care in transport. Common tipping amounts range from $2-$10 for distances under 50 km, and $50 or more for longer distances. Cash is generally preferred over payment platforms like PayPal or Venmo.
Additional Services and Supports
The Rover Guarantee covers certain injuries during service, and 24/7 support is included.
Keep in mind:
- Transport pets in a kennel by car for accessible distances.
- For air travel, make sure the pet is secure and plan for pickup at the destination or kennel until retrieved.
