Rover.com | Pet SittingReviews of rover.com

Of the 3 big online pet sitting services I’m aware of, I like Rover the best. Rover does checks on sitters and doesn’t require a membership. They also charge minimal fees to the sitter and the client. Their website could use some improvements. It’s difficult to find a sitter you’ve used in the past and there is no way to filter by things like “work from home” if you need a sitter who can spend more time with your pets during the day. Also, there is no easy way to filter out people who have kids or dogs that would be staying in your home along with the sitter. There also doesn’t seem to be any protection against sitters cancelling at the last minute when you have a trip planned. They refund your money for the sitting, but don’t help you find another sitter so you don’t have to cancel your trip. It would be great if they could offer that additional support even if for a fee. Overall I’ve been happy with the service from Rover, but I would be very nervous traveling out of the country without some guarantee my pets will be cared for if something happens with the sitter.

This is such a needed service, but it could be better. I have been trying for a month to find a walker for an upcoming stay. My regular walker can't do the entire stay so I was working on another to cover. While I finally have a sitter, I have had the following issues: 1 ) Potential sitters who want to communicate outside of the app. I had one sitter not even say hi - just "what is your number" and then when I asked to communicate through the app they just stopped messaging. 2) Potential sitters who don't show for the meet and greet. I tried to coordinate with two sitters and had a terrible time trying to schedule time. 3) Sitters who are giving me a hard time because the price in the app isn't high enough -- I didn't set the price in the app and have no idea how that works on the Rover end. And I'm not going to pay outside of the app. 4) Sitters who the app says they can do house sitting but they don't do house sitting. Again, I don't know how it works on the Rover end. Generally, I travel a lot so I need more than one regular sitter and this has been very frustrating!

Cass did good job

I only give it 4 star as i find it more expensive than full day care and for only 1 hour , but the sitter I got was amazing and my dog loved him ,and I know it's a safe vetted site for to leave my pets with

Knowing that my pup was well cared for made my trip more relaxed. I liked being able to select the type of place for her. Only draw back is the many ads sent to me.

Bonjour je voulais savoir si à 17 an on peut faire du dog sitting sur rover j’ai 17 an je vais avoir 18 an au mois de juillet

Mise en contact très facile, dommage que l on ne puisse pas se téléphoner

Great dog sitter, I like the fact that you pay ahead, that you can read reviews, etc. It's like airbnb! I live in a small town so the options for dog day care are few. I cannot believe I hadn't heard of rover.com before! My only issue was with the tons of emails which were duplicate to texts.
