“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.”
“Super satisfied. Benjamin kept me update on how Kyra was doing and how she was enjoying playing with other boarders. Highly recommended. I will be booking again with Benjamin.”
“Miaozi (Stephanie) is amazing! She took really good care of my baby Pomeranian: Lola María. I was a bit nervous at the beginning because it was my first time using the app and getting a dog sitter for my baby. However, Stephanie made sure that I felt really comfortable and safe during my trip, she sent me some pictures and videos to feel better, she followed Lola’s instructions and notes on the app, and ensured that my little girl was in great hands during her stay. I will definitely bring Lola back with Stephanie! Couldn’t be happier! Thank you!”
“It was my first time using Rover as well as Bruna. The care provided to my dog was excellent and my dog appeared to be extremely happy! Thank you Bruna. I would definitely recommend”
“Catherine has provided the usual stellar care that we have become accustom to. The dogs are happy going to stay and they enjoy their interaction with Daisy. Very highly recommended.”
“Micheal and his wife took amazing care of my 11 year old dog. He had to be brought to the hospital during his stay because of seizures from a pre-existing condition and Micheal and his family managed the situation gracefully and made me feel reassured while I was away from my dog. They are lovely people, I highly recommend them. Best dogsitters ever. Thank you again to them for the great care they provided Douglas. I am very grateful.”
“Avro came home very tired which indicates that she had lots of excercise and enrichment with Kelly. Meet & greet, booking, and drop-off/pick-up with Kelly were all super easy! We got some wonderful photos of their adventures during the stay. We would definitely leave Avro in Kelly's care again in the future!”
“Eliana takes great care of Floki, he always comes back clean and happy. I regularly receive updates and pictures. I’ll sure rebook her again next time. I totally recommend her for your fur babies 😊”
“Yingshu and Shervin are really nice! Highly recommend! They took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind.

“I would highly recommend Shannon as a dog sitter. She and her husband took excellent care of our dog during her first stay. We received frequent updates and photos. Ivy had outdoor time and seemed to settle in nicely. We have already booked a second stay for a week, and will absolutely return for additional future stays.”
“Jennifer provided excellent care to my (nervous 17 yr old) dog Rosie. She was so kind and gave daily updates and photos. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying. I highly recommend Jennifer and I will definitely book with her again”

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts

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 .
