Tim was fantastic will be are go to when we are back in Taboe

Being able to easily communicate with our pet sitter before and during the booking was great - I could use the app or text but all communication history is in the app. Also it was very easy to provide a review of my experience and leave a tip for my sitter and the entire tip goes to the sitter which I like. Searching for a sitter is also easy with plenty of search parameters available. I love this service and am so thankful to use it after many years of having to scour online services and word of mouth referrals on my own to find the right sitter.

I’m glad I found Rover. I was struggling to find a pet sitter and really wanted to go on a short impromptu trip. Rover came to the rescue. It was easy to find a sitter available and they responded with short notice. Samantha followed our instructions for my cat’s medical needs and kept me updated throughout her care. I definitely will be using this site again and hopefully the same sitter.

Jo was great. She would send pictures and updates of my fur babies. She even went so far as to bring in some important packages that came in while we were gone. Then our flight was delayed thankfully Jo was able to watch them another day. We will certainly use Jo again in the future!

Great person

8/9/25-8/11/25 After a visit prior to our trip, we booked Cleo's stay at a nice home with lovely people. At the time, Cleo had started waking up and yelping to go out (one bark every 30 seconds or so, not loud or constant) at about 3-4 am. This was unusual as she has been happily crate trained for over a year. It was happening once or twice a week, and I wanted to be transparent about the possibility.Her training leash was helping, and she was getting back to normal, but just in case....I also left her vibrating training collar which worked well for us. I shared that if she was waking them too early, I would call and they could board her at the local kennel where she goes on the mornings I work. They were ok with this. I left her Saturday and Sunday afternoon, I received a nice text indicating she had slept well and was doing great. Monday afternoon, however, Cleo had apparently been barking a lot (all day), and eating houseplants. So I had to call on Day 2 and arrange for her to stay in the environment I was hoping to avoid. The employees knew Cleo and were surprised as well to hear about her barking as she doesn't bark during the mornings when she is in doggy daycare. Maybe she had anxiety we've never witnessed. She's stayed with other family members (and their dogs) with no issue, but not strangers, so it is entirely possible that she was anxious and barking. Now I am totally at a loss....We would prefer leaving her with a doggy family and would gladly work to train her out of this behavior, but in order to do that, she has to demonstrate it to us, and so far, she has not. Ugh. I guess I am left with no choice but to use the kennel......Had I not given the option of arranging to board her elsewhere, I would have had to leave my 7 day vacation on day 2.....

The app is not very user friendly.

it’s great to find someone they cares about your pet while you are away.
