“Erik took great care of Izzy for a last minute trip, He gave us daily photos, sometimes multiple times a day, so we saw that our dog was comfortable and having fun with his dog Sunny. Erik also gave Izzy meds while we were out of town with no problems. I would highly recommend Erik and will use him the next time we go out of town!”

“This was our first time leaving Shiloh with someone we did not know. Although the meet and greet went well, I was nervous about leaving him with a stranger. Ariel answered the door with a BIG SMILE and told me that everything would be OK. Shiloh had an Awesome time with Ariel and her family. I was comforted with the pictures and video that she shared with me. It helped me to know that he was in good hands. The extra bag of goodies you left for Shiloh was a nice gift!! Thanks Ariel for taking care of my fur baby.”
“Marquette was the absolute best! I needed help taking care of my dog last minute and Marquette asked all the right questions before booking to make sure she understood my dogs needs and best way to take care. During the stay, she sent multiple pictures and videos (including slomo shots) and provided updates from neighborhood walks and her observations of Rumi as she explored new environments. All the updates helped me feel at ease. Will definitely be rebooking with her. I highly recommend booking Marquette!”

“Sara is a wonderful pet sitter. She took such good care of our 11 year old mutt during our short vacation. She sent pictures everyday, and kept us informed about him. Our fur baby came back happy and that really showed he was well treated. I will definitely use Sara again for any future needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Elda was absolutely amazing with my dog, Jetty, over the weekend! She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Jetty was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. When I picked Jetty up, she looked happy, healthy, and very well cared for! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% trust Elda to watch Jetty again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Our dog London had a wonderful time with Dulce and her wonderful family, and got along great with their dog Otis.

This was my first time booking with Jade and I was not disappointed. Not only was she incredibly kind and professional, she provided regular updates and made sure to answer any questions I had in a timely fashion. I was nervous about boarding but she made the experience really wonderful and I rebooked her the day I got back. I’ll definitely keep using her services and I appreciate her very much.
Awesome visit. My dads old pup needed a place to stay while he was on a respite vacation We were sent photos and a video of her socializing with other dogs and going out side and taking her meds Prompt responses and a caring attitude. Will use again Thank you for taking care of my fathers dog Virginia
Kristen was amazing! She communicated so well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Bear loves playing with other pups, so she had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted from all the fun! I felt so comfortable leaving her with her, and I would definitely book with her again!
Jennifer and her family were absolutely wonderful with Maggie! She stayed with them for 9 nights, and it was clear from the beginning that she was loved. By the time I picked her up, she had clearly become part of the family while I was away. Maggie had a minor tummy issue during her stay, and Jennifer’s update made it clear she was being very attentive and taking great care of her. I would absolutely trust Jennifer and her family with Maggie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!
Danielle was wonderful with my dog Pogo! She hosted him for 3 days and 2 nights and took such great care of him. She sent regular updates with pics and videos, which I really appreciated. Pogo came back happy and relaxed. Would highly recommend her and would definitely book again!
Simply amazing! Courtney was very responsive and was great about sending updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pup seemed comfortable, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable Courtney was and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Rubi was amazing with Zoe! She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, and I loved seeing how much fun Zoe was having with her and Roscko. She was very attentive to Zoe, making sure she ate, drank water, and got plenty of playtime. I felt completely comfortable leaving Zoe with her and would definitely book with Rubi again! ❤️

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.
