My sitter has not returned my key for 2 months. what do I do?

Sorry for the situation you have found yourself in with an unresponsive unreliable sitter. This is not the case for the majority of Rover sitters. As you are about to incur a large expense to rekey the house you could consider taking the sister to small claims court, but that too brings lots of hassles and no guarantee you will win the case or collect the amount owed. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can get this resolved.

I would first like to say that I am very sorry to hear about your experience. Not receiving your key is frustrating enough, and then having someone blame you for it is really anger-inducing.

As another user said, you definitely could take her to small-claims court. Unfortunately, even if someone returns our keys, we can never be sure that he or she didn't copy them. Fortunately, the vast majority of Rover sitters would never do that, as we are all background checked, and I can think of a relatively simple way to allow people to enter our homes temporarily: keypad deadbolts. These allow us to unlock our doors using either a keypad or a key, meaning that we could give the sitter a temporary code to use and then change it as soon as we get home, never giving them a key. These also can offer helpful features such as automatically locking so you never

This may sound expensive, but you said rekeying your locks is $200. I have seen these keypad deadbolts selling for around $40, and this would mean you would never have to rekey your locks again.
