We were traveling for a really sad funeral, and leaving our big baby Moose behind was really hard for all of us.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Liam was a lifesaver!! He took wonderful care of our two girls, walked them every day, and sent pictures of them having a great time. We especially appreciated his experience and confidence with dogs. We explained that Stella often will alert bark/growl/settle and also growls with play and she always wants to play tug! Like always!! He was familiar with that behavior and comfortable helping her settle in. She did great! Knowing both girls were in such capable, caring hands gave us peace of mind. We’ve already told Liam we would absolutely book with him again. When we got home both dogs immediately went to sleep hard, so you know that had a great time!! Highly recommend!!
Kate was wonderful! She sent me regular updates and pictures of my dog throughout our trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She made her stay comfortable and took the time to really get to know her and her personality. I could tell she genuinely cared, and I would absolutely trust Kate to watch my dog again. Highly recommend her!
We’re so grateful that Sara and her family were able to take care of our dog, Ole, on such short notice! Communication was timely and we really appreciated their flexibility and care. We felt confident our dog was in good hands and would happily book with Sara again. Highly recommend!
Wow what a wonderful experience we had with Chris! It was Marty’s first stay with him, and Chris sent us so many lovely photos and videos of Marty enjoying long walks and hanging out outside. Marty was clearly having a great time, and it was a gift to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We will definitely book with Chris again!

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 tips for your first .
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.
