My rating is based on two sitters. One only sat one time, the other is my fave and I book her all the time. But I hate Rover's fees. There's a Rover Service Fee, a Cancellation fee ( charged when I cancelled ONE visit with 48 hours notice, a Holiday rate ($6 daily more than the normal rate) I was charged the holiday rate for 8 days when there was only ONE holiday, and fees for EACH pet rather than fee per VISIT. ALSO, Rover only has two categories...cats, and dogs. So my parakeets get called 'birds' and charged the cat rate. It adds up! I hate feeling nickel and dimed, but I do feel that. If it weren't for the great service of my sitter, I'd seek another sitter outside Rover because this costs me more than any private sitter service I've EVER used, and I've used my fair share. I would have given FOUR stars if not for these fees and rate structures (just cats and dogs).

Hi Melanie, thank you for providing your feedback. Holidays are a busy time for everyone, sitters and pet parents alike. That’s why sitters have the ability to raise their rates for services throughout the holiday season. If a booking includes dates within a holiday period, the sitter’s holiday rates will be applied to the first pet in the booking for the entire booking. If you would like further clarification on our rates and policies, you can always reach out to our Rover Support Team at 888-453-7889. -Lexie

So easy to use and set up a sitter. I felt very comfortable with our sitter. Would highly recommend.

I love that we can leave our little Yorkie with a family instead of a cage at a kennel

We were in a pickle and turned to Rover to find care for our three dogs. It was fast, easy, and we are happy with who we choose.

I have used Rover to schedule boarding, sitting in my home and doggie daycare. I have found trustworthy, experienced people for this and feel that Rover.com is my go to site for keeping my dog happy and safe.

I felt confident that our dog was going to be safe and well cared for. I had a reference for my Rover sitter. She was kind and took good care of our dog.
