excellent people, dependable service

App is okay, but for someone that is not updated on apps, computers. Ect.. it can be a little difficult to understand. Example- Housesitting needs to be that the sitter will come to your home. I actually thought it was for sitting the house at first...lol. also an option for setting up a meet and greet instead of just trying to contact for a sitting. Also i tried to video chat with a sitter and neither of us could figure it out to actually make it work and not be just a black screen and then it would hang up. Needs to be more user friendly with addional options. Also I've had a sitter contact me to not go through Rover and then wanted to use other people to come to my house instead of them. Overall experience with sitters is they need to interact and play, show attention to the animals besides just sitting on their phones all day and ignoring the animals unless they need to take them out. They are there to be pet sitting/ house sitting. And even though I did not complain or mention it in my reviews the pet sitter needs to be respectful of people's home and clean up after theirselves and not just eat all the food and drinks they want- Bring your own if you want to take advantage of it, I don't mind you eating or drinking some of my stuff but don't go overboard. I should not come home to have to clean up your mess when I did not leave my house that way. I come back to expect my house the same way I left it. Date of experience is not actual date because I would prefer not to say...

The app is actually user-friendly and intuitive, with filters that helped me narrow my search down to my specific needs. I appreciated the peace of mind it gave me to know the payment would not go through until after I got back, just in case something went wrong. It also is reassuring to know that communications between sitter and customer are recorded for posterity.

I have used rover in 2 different states and was able to find the right people dog sit our moya. For us, there was a good selection of people to choose from that met our price range and location.

I have used several different sitters and some emergency walkers. Everyone has been great. Jan lives close by and has been my fallback go-to-person many times. I prefer to take my dog with me when I can, but rover sitters have been a great help when I can’t.

Stephanie was so great. She took excellent care of our dog while we were away.

We found Sheyla on Rover and she was great and the transaction using Rover was also very smooth. We were very happy with our experience with the pet sitter and the Rover platform. This was our first time using Rover as well as the sitter and would definitely recommend both.

She did an excellent job making friends with the animals and was not afraid to ask us questions.
