I liked my cat sitter but not the extra costs over her stated cost on her profile.
I liked my cat sitter but I was charged extra for my second cat. They have a constant feed bowl, the same litter pan and water bowl. But I was not allotted any extra play time. There was an additional $30 charge for no apparent reason. Made the cost a little too pricy!

I think the Rover app/concept is cool but..
I think the Rover app/concept is a great idea, and I’m truly grateful that someone was willing to house my pet in my absence. The host even took time to share pictures and videos with me, which I greatly appreciated.
I booked eight days of service. On the final day, I contacted the host to let her know I was on my way for pickup and arrived about an hour and a half past my expected time. To my surprise, my arrival seemed unexpected — my pet was not prepared to leave, and the host appeared unaware that I was coming.
When I initially dropped off my cat, I was told he would be kept in a specific area designated for him or other cats. However, when I arrived for pickup, he was in another part of her home. The host explained that her son wanted to spend time with my cat in the main area, which I didn’t mind — but the concerning part was that the host didn’t know exactly where my pet was.
My son and I were invited into the home to help look for him, and for about 15 minutes, my cat was nowhere to be found. It was a very stressful and unprofessional situation. Eventually, the host found him, and I was relieved, but this could have been easily avoided with better supervision and communication.
Additionally, my cat’s appearance was less than desirable. He was clean and freshly groomed when I dropped him off, but when I picked him up, he was filthy and acted extremely hungry — so much so that we had to feed him in the car.
While I’m thankful he was found and unharmed, I was very disappointed with the lack of awareness and care during his stay. Because of this experience, I would be hesitant to use Rover again and would not recommend Mona as a host.

I found a dog sitter that is wonderful
I found a dog sitter that is wonderful! She kept my dog 5 nights sent daily pics spoiled him. She was first one I reached out to because she had aussies also. Her and her husband and children are the sweetest family. Very easy to use Rover.

I used a sitter name Learick Lott

I used her for boarding my pup Khloe. My dog went there with a healthy weight . My sister picked her and she looked like a oversize rat. I would never recommend her to watch anyone's pet. She didn't have the proper cleaning products nor did she give her enough exercise . She went out and got 2 kittens and didn't watch her until she got sick from eating kitty poop.
