How Rover Pet Sitter Dog Walker Scraper Works

1. Pick the service types and cities you want — or leave both open for full nationwide coverage.
2. The actor works through every matching city, page by page, until it reaches your maxItems limit.
3. Each sitter's full profile — pricing across every service they offer, badges, ratings, and bio — is pulled once and saved, even if the same sitter turns up under more than one city or service search.
4. Results land in your dataset as they're found, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Input

{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "serviceTypes": ["dog-walking", "dog-boarding"],
  "citySlugs": ["san-francisco--ca", "austin--tx"]
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	Integer	50	Maximum number of sitter records to save. Set to 0 for unlimited.
serviceTypes	Array	All 4 types	Which Rover service categories to crawl: dog-boarding, house-sitting, dog-walking, doggy-day-care.
citySlugs	Array	(nationwide)	Optional. Restrict the crawl to specific city--state slugs, e.g. san-francisco--ca. Leave empty to crawl nationwide.

To run a single city instead of the whole country, set citySlugs to just that city — useful for a quick sample before committing to a full nationwide run.

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

FAQ

Does this scraper cover small towns, or just major cities?

Rover Pet Sitter Dog Walker Scraper crawls every US city Rover publishes a listing page for, from Austin to towns with a handful of sitters. Leave citySlugs empty and it covers the whole country for your selected service types.

Does it return pricing for every service a sitter offers, even if I only searched one service type?

Yes. A sitter's full rate card — boarding, walking, and drop-in pricing — comes from their own profile, so you get every service they're active in, not just the one your search matched them on.

What counts as a "repeat client" — a percentage or a count?

A count. Rover shows repeat-client numbers as a raw count on a sitter's profile, not a percentage, so that's what this field returns.

Does the output include sitters' home details, like yard or apartment info?

No. That level of detail is only visible to a logged-in user who has actually messaged the sitter, so it isn't part of this actor's output.

How often should I re-run this to keep pricing and ratings current?

Pricing, availability, and review counts change often enough on an active marketplace like Rover that a weekly or monthly re-run keeps a dataset useful for pricing comparisons or lead lists.

Why Use Rover Pet Sitter Dog Walker Scraper?

• Nationwide by default — one run covers every city Rover lists for your selected service types, not a single hardcoded location.
• Full rate cards, not a single price point — most sitters run more than one service, and this actor returns pricing for all of them from one profile fetch, instead of forcing you to run four separate searches to piece it together.
• Quality signals included — ratings, review counts, badges, and repeat-client counts ship with every record, so you can screen without a second lookup.
