Rover.com | Pet SittingReviews of rover.com

Great app for new connections. Good info about the walkers before selections. 4 stars because deleting requests and making changes on service requests when life happens is a challenge.

This is my first foray into pet hospitality. I think for this first interaction, it went very well. In the past I’ve had family or second-mama’s looking after my furrbabies.

Our dog walker is great. But there is a tab for background check in the app that did not work - I got an error message. At the time I was desperate and just had to proceed, however, the tab should work and the results should be available.

Rover does not show a pet sitter availability on a calendar. They make you keep entering dates over and over again to find out when your desired sitter is available. This is a huge waste of time.

I used Rover.com for the first time in November 2021 and had a good experience. I needed a sitter for one week of daily visits for my cat—to feed her and do other basic care tasks—while I was out of town. My Rover sitter took great care of my cat, and I would book the same sitter again and/or use Rover again in the future. My only frustration was that the site was heavily geared toward dog owners, which made searching for a sitter slightly more difficult (one who would want to care for cats). And also made it feel like cat owners were an afterthought. I also wish that the process was more clearly explained on the website. It was difficult to find clear information about how it works, and how to start the process of finding and booking a sitter.

Great finding a dog walker, but had some issues with the site itself. It seemed that my request (for next day) was only sent the next morning. Also the confirmation messages from Rover were indicating 2 days left to book, when my requested walk was 6 hours away.

Rover led me to a dependable and proficient dog walker.

I’m really glad I found Rover, and specifically the dog sitter we’ve hired several times on the platform. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is it’s a little pricey which is fine, but I would like to know that most of the fee is going directly to the service provider and not the CEO. Also, the app/site are a little tough to navigate.
