The convenience of having several vetted pet sitters to choose from is phenomenal. Getting a pet sitter through Rover is as easy as booking a flight through Expedia. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because, contrary to the Rover website FAQ, I could not edit the days when the pet sitter I chose could not do the last day I'd wanted. I'd envisioned this as a "hand back the key and talk about how things went" day, so it was no big deal when they couldn't do the last day. But the website did not allow me to delete the last day, and so I had to enter a new service request for that sitter. I got no email or text saying the sitter had accepted the new itinerary, and then they forgot to let me know they'd completed their first drop-in visit, so when I got to my destination I was wondering whether the visits were actually booked or not. This was very worrisome to me and I sent a text to the sitter to confirm. Once the sitter confirmed and agreed to send pictures/notices of their visits, it went well. I would assume that agreeing to sit for 3 indoors-only cats for 6 days would require the sitter to scoop the litter box, but the sitter did not do this. I found that odd and so that's another reason Rover gets 4 stars, not 5.

I have had some just ok sitters but the last one was amazing. It's a nice tool. I've told several friends and family about this app.

Our dog sitter was great. The holiday additional fees were very high.

Shara cleared all my fears, by doing exactly as I expected. And sending pictures to prove they were being cared for. Her photos were the highlight of my day. Bettie Shetter

Overall very good.Hours of availability should be clearer for dog watchers for overnight service.

I love the people I meet through Rover. However, site isn’t super intuitive, and there’s no great tutorial- I’m pretty tech savvy (Gen Z) but even I struggle with toggling settings so I can see IMPORTANT info about my dog without getting hit with push notifications that feel spammy.

Fast communication with dog-sitter, good and organised information about them. Too expensive. They took 4.50 on 30 pounds day care fee.

The sitters I've found are great. It's very helpful when I'm out of town and need to leave my baby somewhere. The website drives me crazy, trying to get the right login when I haven't used it for a while, resorting to making a new account, and then not being able to use my phone number. I had to use my sister's phone number to communicate with the sitter, which was very inconvenient.
