What if my dog doesnt like other dogs?

You can try finding a sitter who only sits one dog at a time and who does not have a dog of their own. This may be difficult, but it is possible. And even if you cannot find a sitter who does not have a dog, you should be able to tell if your dog and their dog get along during the meet and greet. So, if they only sit for one dog at a time, you'll at least know that your dog and their dog will be fine together and you won't have to worry about other owners' dogs being around.

You may also consider contacting Rover Customer Support at [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team]. They can help search through the sitters in your area that meet your preferences.

I list in my profile that I only sit one dog at a time and that I don't have any dogs. I have had several clients tell me that they were looking for an in-home sitter where their dog would be the only dog. It may take a little searching, but we are out there! When you first contact a potential sitter, mention the fact that your dog doesn't behave well around other dogs. They may come back with a solution or just say they aren't a good match.

My one dog is the same way. I often have to carry her when around other dogs. I have tried training and therapy but I don't foresee her ever warming up to playing friendly with other dogs. I always hire a sitter on Rover that is willing to come stay at my house to watch my dogs overnight. I've never had a problem finding someone to come to my house for overnight sitting.
