Common Questions

How much does it cost to post a job?

Free. You only pay when you book a service.

How fast can someone start?

Usually within days. Same-week is common. Some pros even offer same-day for one-time cleanups.

What if I'm unhappy with the service?

You can switch pros any time. Platform support can help mediate issues. Review honestly so others know.

What if my dog doesn't like strangers in the yard?

Totally normal. Options:

• Keep your dog inside during visits
• Schedule when you're home for the first visit
• Pick a pro experienced with shy/reactive dogs

Can I bundle extras on the same visit?

Yes — that's one of the best things about Ruff Ruff Let's Play. Add feeding, play, medication, crate cleanup, etc. to the same pro's visit. Saves you money and coordination.

Do pros bring their own supplies?

Always. Bags, scoopers, disinfectants — all included.

What if it rains or snows?

Most pros reschedule for extreme weather. Light rain or snow is usually fine. Confirm preferences when you book.

Pro Tips for Best Results

1. Be specific

"Medium yard, 2 dogs, weekly Wednesdays" gets better quotes than "need help with yard."

2. Include photos

Especially for one-time cleanups — helps pros quote accurately.

3. Respond quickly

Pros who respond fast often book out fast. Reply to quotes within 24 hours.

4. Start with a one-time job

Use it as a "tryout." If you love the pro, book them weekly after.

5. Bundle smart

Every add-on saves you money vs. booking separately. A single visit can handle 4–5 tasks.

6. Leave reviews

Great reviews create a better community for everyone — and they reward the pros doing quality work.
