“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”
“Cara a eu un super séjour avec Josée. Elle a eu beaucoup de marches et a aussi jouer à la balle. Josée est une personne très attentionnée avec les animaux et sait s’adapter aux besoins de nos poilus. Ce fut une première visite 5 étoiles.”
“Ashley was a life saver! She took my booking last minute AND i had to extend because of a flight delay and she was amazing. My dogs had SO much fun running around her large land and got sooo many cuddles. Medication was administered perfectly and she kept me updated and sent lots of pics. Will definitely be booking with Ashley again :)”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Mahnazand I must say I am impressed. Her level of care for our two cats and her willingness to go the extra mile really help us feel confident that they were ok. We will keep uusing her services every time we #travel on extended stays. She watched them for two weeks and sent pictures and videos everyday so they could see them and what’s app so they could see us. Thanks again for everything.”
“I highly recommend Raquel for your sitter needs. I was a little nervous at first as my dog has a few quirks most people wouldn’t be fond of, but Raquel had no issue with this and was more than happy to watch him. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the week to let me know how things were going. I will definitely book again with Raquel when I need care for Rango! 10/10”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Stephanie was incredibly understanding of our dog’s nervous nature and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear he was well cared for and truly felt at home. We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will absolutely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“I really cant overstate how happy we were with our experience with Micheline. She was awesome in every regard. We received many photo updates and it was clear Dawson was having an epic time while we were away. It happened that Dawson's birthday occurred while she was sitting him, and she went above and beyond to make sure he had a very special day. I highly, highly recommend!”

“Our first time using Rover and Katrine and Michael were a perfect choice for Milo to stay with while we were out of town. Their welcoming presence and their dog Bailey’s calm energy helped Milo feel at home. Katrine sent us pictures and updates while we were away so we knew he was having a good time and doing well. When we picked him up, he was happy to see us, but was not anxious as he has been sometimes when we’ve left him with other friends or family. Milo had a great visit and made himself at home; we would happily leave Milo with Katrine and Michael again.”
“Ella took great care of our boxer on short notice for the long weekend. She sent updates and was so easy to reach and flexible when arranging pickup on our way back. She even planned and shared a fun, active itinerary for our dog's weekend away. Lots of hikes! Would highly recommend. Thanks, Ella!”
“Qianzhi was very communicative and flexible with our changing drop off and pick off times. She sent lots of photos and videos showing Henry playing and enjoying time with the other dogs in her care.”
“We had Shanice walk our dog on several occasions and we needed a sitter for an overnight trip. We received updates and pictures of our dog while away and felt our dog was in great hands.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Mattie! Mattie was amazing! She kindly accepted my last-minute request and took such wonderful care of my dog. I really appreciated her flexibility, responsiveness, and the care and attention she gave my furry friend. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you, Mattie, for being so accommodating and taking such great care of my pup! I would absolutely recommend Mattie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 🐾”

“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. She was also very flexible with both pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything convenient and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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 .
