“Destini is an amazingly kind caregiver and Pet Whisperer! I needed pet care at the last minute and she was our superhero. ?♀️??? From the moment she walked in, our Mini Bernedoodle Sapphire could not contain her excitement, and greeted her with happy piddle pee, which is rare. Destini did not hesitate to communicate and ask any clarifying questions. She takes pictures that capture the joy of our pets and left our house exactly as we left it. Our cats are not as social, but Destini was able to connect with one and confirm sightings of the other to assure us that they were content and and cared for. I would recommend Destini to ANYONE at any time for any reason. She is a first-rate caregiver and animal lover. And I intend to request Destini on Rover exclusively in the future!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ?????”

Both of my dogs suffer from separation anxiety, and she did everything she could to make the both of them feel comfortable. She sent daily updates with photos at each drop in to let me know how they were doing!”

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
