“As first time Rover users we were very hesitant and nervous to be leaving our puppy as we went on a trip. Jaden gave us no reasons to be worried as they were very responsive and understanding. Our puppy had a great time staying with Jaden and we will definitely look to rebook on our next trip out of town.”

“Craig and Sally were such a blessing to our family while we were gone. Mollie is a young and energetic pup and they were able to keep her active which means she stayed out of trouble!! I think Mollie came home better trained than she was when we dropped her off! This was our first time using Rover and we are telling everyone about how great it went. We appreciated the update on how well Mollie was doing and it made our vacation that much better! What a great experience and we can’t wait to book a stay with them again.”

Sky seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked him up, and we didn’t have any issues during his stay. Everything went smoothly, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their dog!”

“I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!”

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

Kylie and her family are the very best!! Our Daisy has stayed with them for 2 long trips and she always has the best time. She gets to play and gets so much love and attention from the kids that she is so worn out, in the best way! Daisy had a little bit of anxiety this last time at the start of her stay and Kylie was so patient and attentive, making sure she settled in well and was safe and comfortable. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her for anyone needing a sitter!

I always wonder if Jada will be bored when she gets home after staying with Evan :) He sends pictures and she always looks like she's having a great time. It's nice to know we don't have to worry about her while we are away.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 Meet & Greet .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
