“Wendy was great! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and came across her profile. I loved that she was so close to my home, and she made the entire experience stress-free. During my dog's stay, I received nightly text updates along with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. This was the first time I'd traveled over 13 hours away from my sweet girl, so I was super nervous. After the first day went so well, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book with Wendy again and maybe next time she'll even get to meet my kitty too!”
“We had a very good experience leaving our dog with Senada for eight days, our first booking on Rover. She loves dogs and keeps only one dog at a time. Her home is safely arranged for visiting pups and is very well kept. She has a spacious, fenced yard and watches the dog carefully while they're outside. She follows desired schedules for eating and resting. She willingly and regularly took our dog on walks. Lizzie came home relaxed and was well cared for at Senada's. We look forward to boarding Lizzie there again.”
“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Amy was wonderful! She cared for my anxious Minnie Schnauzer, sending me updates and photos each day, and that set my mind at ease. Instant good vibe from Amy. Clean, comfortable home with a fenced yard, and daily walks. I will definitely call her again.”
“Maggie took very good care of Samson, or 2 1/2 year old energetic dog. good looooong walks, lots of cuddling, and he seemed really happy there. Add to that, lots of photos sent to us to put our minds more at ease while we were away. Her dog Moose got along really well with Samson too. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants TLC for their pup.”
“Patti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldn’t leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!”
“Chris was amazing with our Scruffy! We appreciated her photos and messages…and Scruffy appreciated the walks and the love! We highly recommend booking with her! Thank you, Chris ?❤️”
“Lisa was great with our young puppy. We couldn’t leave him alone in our house and we needed to find someone who would take him overnight in their house. She was easy to communicate with and let us know how our dog was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and worn out from playing. We were glad he was safe with her and will definitely contact her again if we need an overnight dog sitter.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yareisy! She took amazing care of Loki, and he clearly had the best time during his stay. She went above and beyond by writing a personalized note and sending him home with the cutest souvenirs. We also really appreciated her keeping me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”
“Ashika took wonderful care of our dog Wilson! She was extremely responsive and gave us updates throughout Wilson’s stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog in the future.”
“Greg made us feel so comfortable right away with leaving our 152 lb. Great Dane with him for 5 days! His experience with dogs is so transparent and that was the biggest comfort of all. Greg sent video and pictures while we were away, which always helps making us feel that Moose felt right at home!! Greg will definitely be our caretaker for Moose going forward. Such a great experience. Moose got to spend his days playing with other dogs, running around outside and of course being spoiled.”

“Kevin was amazing in every aspect of watching Nora. We got tons of pictures and incredible levels of communication. We plan to book with him again and could not be happier.”
“Will was a pleasure to work with! Super friendly, flexible, and patient. My pups loved their time with him, and I have no doubt they were well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barkhamsted
Karina and Jared were excellent first time hosts for my older dog. I left Rose for a trial run over a weekend before I went to Europe for two weeks and they treated her exactly as I would have. Karina reliably checks in with photos twice a day and is a good communicator. Their home is beautiful and spacious for a dog to sniff, with a fenced in backyard. I recommend them highly!
I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
