“Amy’s home has become Tashi’s home away fom home when I travel. I know Tashi is In great hands with Amy. She is caring, communicative, patient and kind. It’s a bonus for Tashi that Amy’s family loves playing with her and Tashi gets plenty of outdoor time in their backyard!”
“Topsy is so amazing! Our pup, Nala can get a bit anxious at times, but she absolutely loved Topsy. Topsy sent reviews and pictures assuring us that our dog was well loved. She will be staying with Topsy for a week over spring break. We are so thrilled to have met Topsy and have her be a part of our pup's life.”
“I don't even know where to start. This was the best experience! Nancy was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Rookie. She sent us multiple updates and photos/videos each day. At no time did we worry about our fur baby- we knew Nancy, her kids, and her dog, Dakota, were treating Rookie like one of their own. In fact, when we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! We'll ask Nancy to watch Rookie every time we leave town. This was beyond a 5 star experience!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Robert, his wife and their sweet dog Maizy. Robert was very communicative and sent at least a few photos every day. They took our dog on lots of walks in the parks nearby and really welcomed her into their home. We will definitely use them again soon!”
“Amy was an incredible sitter for my pup tiger. Amy provided constant updates and pictures. I have used rover many times and can confidently say Amy is one of the best sitters on the app. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy with amy, and I intend on using amy as a sitter many more times in the future. Amy has two very friendly dogs that my puppy tiger loved as well. If you are looking for a safe, great sitter, look no further than amy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Chelsie was great! She took the time to do a meet and greet and listen to some concerns I had having never used a dog sitting service before. She sent daily photos and updates. My dog seemed comfortable while there. I would use her again and recommend her to others!
Marine and her family took excellent care of our girl! I let Marine know that our pup is a little anxious and doesn’t like to be away from us, and she took extra care to make sure our girl was happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent; the daily pictures and updates gave us so much peace of mind. We picked up a very happy and tired pup!
We had such a wonderful experience with Allison! Our dogs felt right at home with her and her pup from the moment they arrived. They had an amazing time playing, and she provided such attentive, loving care while keeping their specific needs and quirks in mind. We loved receiving all the fun pictures and adorable videos throughout the day, it was clear they were having the best time! We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🙌🏻💛🌟
Our dogs love Angela! We have a 12 year old lab and a 4 year old lab (who never runs out of energy). This lab doesn't like daycares and gets anxious but she RUNNNSSS up to Angela's door when we go there. And Angela takes her running with her! It's bittersweet to leave a great review because she's earned it but I don't want to compete for her availability. 🤣
Vanessa and her daughters took such wonderful care of Cooper! ❤️ We made a last-minute reservation, and they were incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure he felt loved, comfortable, and happy. It was clear from the moment we met them how much they genuinely care for the pets they watch. I received pictures and updates throughout the day, along with notifications about everything they did, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🤗 Knowing Cooper was in such caring hands made all the difference. I am so thankful we found Vanessa and her family, and I would absolutely trust them with Cooper again. Highly recommend!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
