Marissa was great, I felt very comfortable with her in our home taking care of our pup. Rover is a great way to find a pet sitter that can be relied on. It was nice to be able to read about the sitters and communicate with them.

I was trying to connect with a local sitter through rover and I accidentally typed in the wrong age of my dog as if it were a puppy and the girl didn't accept puppies so it kicked her out of my view and I had no way to contact her after that I couldn't fix my problem and changed the date age of my dog. No human to talk to no way to fix the problem no way to contact the sitter. Got me in a jam. Rover is not good.

Rover provided a great selection of professional pet care providers. The price was reasonable. The communication was easy. The only difficulty was navigating in the app to schedule specific date/time. Fortunately Jessica with Rover was able to figure it out and complete it on my behalf.

Caregiver great Rover too expensive
I give Nicholas 5 or 10 Stars he was wonderful and great asset to your company the reason I give Rover one is because I think their rates are ridiculous I think the percent they charge above what the caregiver charges is too much
