I was trying to hire a dog walker since I was having surgery. The contacts promised to get in touch but I guess you could say, "ghosted." One did show up as I wanted him to meet my dog and myself. He walked my dog, I paid him, tipped him. Never heard from him again. UNRELIABLE people.

Carly was great and rover interface was easy to use and provided nice access to pictures of the visit.

First time using Rover was great. Matt took great care of our dogs and our house. We have already booked other dates with other pet sitters. The app is easy to use and you can see the sitters and their reviews so you have peace of mind about who is caring for your pets in your home.

Some of the people on the app are not qualified to look after pets no training anyone can join and write that they will be great with your pet. I searched for a pet sitter found one that was qualified and had a lot of clients and good reviews. On the day of her 1st appointment for meet and greet the day before she would be sitting. She just didn’t turn up no contact just no show, when I messaged and politely asked if she was still coming she was rude saying no, then cancelled us for the sitting the next day. When I went on to put a review on it wouldn’t let me. So if the sitters just don’t turn up and let you down last min and cancel the appointments on the app you can’t do a review of that person so the 4* review she had was false she could do this all the times but you can’t record that anywhere. I reported her to customer services who just said they would investigate. Nothing has been done. Edit: There hasn’t been an automatic review left on her review, I did also contact you about this with no outcome. I got generic email sent back each time.

Hi Clare, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about this and understand how frustrating that must have been. When a sitter cancels a booking at the last minute, there is an automatic record added in their review section. While a review can't be left as no services were rendered, we agree that owners should be aware if this is a pattern with a sitter, which is why we leave this record. We take situations like this seriously as professionalism is important to us. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Rover Support is available 24/7 at (888) 453 - 7889. -Brittney
