1. What is the Rover Tip Calculator?

Definition: Welcome to the Rover Tip Calculator. This tool helps you determine a fair tip for your Rover pet sitter based on service cost, number of pets, and special requirements.

Purpose: At YourTipCalculator.com, we simplify tipping for Rover pet sitting services. The Rover Tip Formula applies 10% base tip, $5 for more than 2 pets, and $10 for special instructions with a $5 minimum, while the Straight 15% Rule uses a flat 15%.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses two methods:

\[ \text{Base Tip} = 0.10 \times \text{Service Cost} \] \[ \text{Multiple Pets Bonus} = 5.00 \text{ (if Number of Pets > 2, otherwise 0)} \] \[ \text{Special Instructions Fee} = 10.00 \text{ (if Special Instructions is selected, otherwise 0)} \] \[ \text{Total Tip (Formula)} = \max(5, \text{Base Tip} + \text{Multiple Pets Bonus} + \text{Special Instructions Fee}) \] or \[ \text{Total Tip (15% Rule)} = 0.15 \times \text{Service Cost} \]

Where:

$ \text{Total Tip} $ — Total tip amount in dollars (Rover Formula has $5 minimum)
$ \text{Service Cost} $ — Total sitting/walking cost in USD
$ \text{Number of Pets} $ — Number of pets being cared for
