I started using Rover in 2025 for help with my kitties while I am out of town. I have had positive experiences with everything from technical assistance to the sitters I hired.
The communication is excellent and pictures are always sent of my cats. I finally feel confident when leaving my cats in the care of a Rover sitter.

I liked the a ability to contact the caregiver. she contacted me as well about any concerns, and the whole experience went better than where I boarded my dog before. I believe my dog felt better there than before.

I've never used a pet sitter service
I've never used a pet sitter service. It was a last-minute idea and Rover.com made it a very easy process! I scrolled thru, read reviews and found a GREAT pet sitter for my crazy lil dog. I would for sure do it again!

Great experience with our sitter
Great experience with our sitter. Finding her and hiring her was simple; communication during our dog’s stay there was great.
However, besides the pay for the sitter there was a fee for Rover. This was reasonable. But later I found out that in addition to the fee that the customer is charged, the sitter is charged 20%. This seems like too much to me and I have her a tip to compensate. I feel that this isn’t good business practice on Rover’s part.
