Brushing him, taking him on multiple walks each day, playing fetch in her big yard, and keeping us updated on how happy he was. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Honestly, when we came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! 😂 You truly couldn’t ask for a better person to love and care for your pet while you’re away. We’re so grateful to Sophan and would absolutely trust her with our dog again!”

Olga took care of our little guy with so much care, love and attention that I know I've found the best set sitter for any future trips. She sent regular updates and photos of our dog and took care of him as if he was her own. Most importantly, she offers 100% peace of mind knowing that our precious little 4 legged family member is happy, well cared for and safe while we're away. Thanks Olga for everything!

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.
