Une expérience très décevante et préoccupante
Après 1 mois et demi d'attente pour échanger par téléphone avec Rover suite à un accident pendant la garde de notre chien, nous apprenons que nous avions 21 jours pour laisser un avis. Donc nous laissons l'avis sur cette "garde" ici :
Nous avions choisi cette pet sitter (Johanna, 30 min de Plugasnou) en raison de son profil rassurant : note de 4,9/5, nombreux avis positifs et statut de Star Sitter.
Dès notre arrivée, elle nous a indiqué qu’elle devait partir dans une soirée.
Pendant la garde, nous n’avons reçu aucune nouvelle spontanée. C’est nous qui avons dû demander des nouvelles de Vida. Nous avons alors reçu une photo floue.
À notre retour, nous avons découvert que Vida avait une plaie profonde près du cou. Lorsque nous avons demandé ce qui s’était passé, la pet sitter nous a indiqué ne pas être en mesure de nous expliquer l’origine de la blessure. Elle n’avait par ailleurs pas jugé nécessaire de nous prévenir au moment de l’incident.
Nous avons également constaté plusieurs petites griffures entre ses pattes, dont elle n’a pas davantage été en mesure d’expliquer l’origine.
Ce qui nous a particulièrement choqués n’est pas seulement la blessure, mais l’absence totale d’explication, d'information au moment des faits, d’excuses ou de véritable prise de responsabilité. Malgré cela, il nous a été indiqué que, « à part ça, tout s’était bien passé ». La garde ne nous a par ailleurs pas été remboursée.
Nous entendons que cette expérience puisse être considérée comme « une très mauvaise expérience parmi d’autres gardes ». Mais pour nous, Vida est un membre de notre famille. Nous sommes donc très surpris qu’une situation aussi préoccupante n’entraîne aucune mesure concrète permettant d’alerter les futurs propriétaires, au-delà de notre seul avis.
Cette expérience nous a également appris à ne pas nous fier uniquement au statut Star Sitter, à la note ou à la présentation très rassurante d’un profil.
À vous de juger si vous souhaitez confier votre chien à cette pet sitter.

Bonjour Roxana, nous sommes désolés d'apprendre ce qui vous est arrivé et nous espérons que Vida se rétablit bien.

Would not recommend. I had the worst experience
The lady that boarded the 2 dogs. I had was completely unprofessional, didn't even ask me for proof of vaccinations, and then said, she would extend and didn't. She never once told me that she was struggling with the dogs. And then when I asked to extend, she said that, why would I think she was going to extend well, because she told me she would and then expected me to come get the dogs when I told her I was 8 hours away that's why I was going to extend
She also said that the dogs were not potty trained, which is false. Because they're in a new boarding facility and they haven't had any accidents. This makes me wonder if she was even taking care of the dogs.

Nous avons signalé une expérience de…
Nous avons signalé une expérience de garde particulièrement préoccupante concernant notre chien : manque de communication, absence de nouvelles rassurantes et retour de notre animal dans un état inhabituel. Nous avons également signalé un commentaire publié à notre sujet, que nous considérons comme injuste et particulièrement préjudiciable, puisqu’il recommande clairement aux autres utilisateurs de ne pas faire garder notre chien décrit comme agressive ce qui nous a jamais étaient communiqués durant toutes la garde qui a durée 15jours.
Malgré la gravité de la situation, Rover n’a pris contact avec nous qu’après trois semaines pour nous informer qu’une investigation allait être menée. Nous comprenons qu’une vérification puisse être nécessaire, mais nous ne comprenons pas qu’un commentaire nous portant préjudice ne puisse pas être retiré ou au moins suspendu pendant l’examen du dossier.
Nous avons aujourd’hui le sentiment que notre expérience et nos inquiétudes ne sont pas traitées avec le même sérieux que les accusations publiées contre nous. Nous attendions de Rover un accompagnement impartial, une véritable écoute et une protection équitable des deux parties.
Cette situation nous a profondément déçus et a fortement remis en question la confiance que nous pouvions accorder à la plateforme

BEWARE OF ANGELA G in Montreal Que. Canada
BEWARE OF ANGELA G. Sitter in Montreal Quebec
I used ROVER in Montreal Quebec for pet sitting services. The web site is archaic and difficult to navigate through it. Even so, I booked a sitter, ANGELA G. for the day to sit my pet. ANGELA G. walked off the job within an hour. She left my keys on the counter, left my dog unattended and the door unlocked and just left! She also stole money from a money envelop. She ghosted me and I never found out what happened. ROVER was terrible at investigating the situation as ANGELA G. deleted the request for service before I could pay for it and therefore, I can't leave a review and Rover would not pursue anything since there was no formal booking through THEIR web site. They did not bother to search the history on the sitter's profile! I filed a police report. ROVER has plenty of losers trying to make extra money but have no skills when it comes to caring for pets. Oh and ROVER, please refrain by responding with one of your generic responses. It has already been determined that you are useless when it comes to problem solving, customer service and accountability.
Also I notice how the "positive reviews", 5 star, are actually prompted reviews generated by AI and programmed to appear at the beginning of the reviews by ROVER! YOUR pet sitter ANGELA G. got away with pet abandonment and theft!
UPDATE AFTER YOUR RESPONSE: Yes, I see how all the responses are signed by a LEXIE or RYAN. Real people my ass! Your data base tells you which response to click on! It's the same response all the time! It's even written above that this company uses AI to respond!!!! And with the repetitive themed complaints continuing, it's obvious you are doing nothing. Interesting that you don't deny that the positive reviews are actually generated reviews, probably by a team working for ROVER. DISCUSTING.

Awful customer service
This review is for Rover’s customer service. Their response time is very very long. Their replies are standard and do not provide any help. It took 1 month to resolve a case and now I have been waiting for 3 weeks on another case. I have completely lost faith in their customer service. It makes me wonder if they will help if anything serious happens or if my cat is in a dangerous situation.

This is purely based on their customer…
This is purely based on their customer service. I have been trying for almost two hours to resolve a pricing issue with my booking. I’m a very consistent repeat user. I’ve had some lovely sitters (some, not as much)— so it’s not the service alone, but this awful customer service experience is why I’ll no longer be booking. But my second attempt to resolve this has taken from 3:40-5:30 and there is roughly 5 minute lags in responses from this customer service rep. I’ve had two reps since this chat finally started after an hour wait time. Their system has caused a pricing issue after I included a two day reservation, each with different pick up and drop off times. I assumed the system would price it based off of the timeframes. But it registered as boarding, even though I’m picking up my dog on the first day and dropping him off the second day. Why am I being charged overnight rates when I’m picking my dog up at the end of both dates? It’s been so tedious to say the least. It’s now been 10 minutes since I’ve gotten a response in this text box and I’m now abandoning it at 5:33 because I have to prepare for my trip and I think two hours investment is sufficient for a technical error. What if something were to happen to my pet in someone’s care or I was unable to contact my sitter? Is this the unresponsive manner I’d have to deal with? Seems like the “support” I thought I’d get vs. paying my sitter outside of this app doesn’t exist.
