Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I reactivate my Rover account after deactivating it?
- Yes. Deactivation is reversible - simply log back in anytime and your profile, reviews, and history are restored. Permanent deletion cannot be undone.
- What happens to my reviews when I delete my account?
- Deactivation keeps all reviews saved. Deletion removes all reviews you've written and received within 30 days, permanently.
- Will I get a refund if I cancel a booking?
- Refunds depend on cancellation timing and your sitter's policy. Advance cancellations are typically refundable; last-minute ones may incur fees.
- How long until my data is fully deleted?
- Your profile hides immediately, but full data deletion takes 30 days. You cannot recover your account during this window.
- Is Rover a subscription service?
- No. Rover charges per booking only. Cancelling your account won't stop any recurring charges as there are none.
