“This is the 2nd time Sophia has watched my cat while I was away on a trip and she is phenomenal. She sends lots of pictures and specific updates. When I come home I can always tell my cat has been well cared for! I highly recommend booking her for your pet care needs 😊”
“When Sandy did a meet & greet with us, I knew she was the one! I could see her passion for the feline fur babies. And she held up to that for the sitting time we signed up for. Our 2, very spoiled, cats loved her, and the one rescue who hides from everyone, actually friended Sandy, much to our surprise, when we got those photos! We felt way less anxious being away when we got her photos of both of the girls. She sat in the cat room after her duties playing with them. Sandy, we so very much appreciate you & your kindness, and, both of the girls will look forward to having you watch over them again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lecanto stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lecanto choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
