Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Marie was great taking care of all the needs of my kitties. She went above and beyond when she had to deal with raccoons that got into my newly installed pet door. She truly loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own. I will definitely have her again.
Amy is definitely a cat whisperer. Our Lola is very unsure of anyone except us & usually hides when company comes. She loves Amy. She will play with Amy & let her love on her. We feel very comfortable leaving Lola under Amy’s care. I would give Amy a 10 star rating on a scale of 0-5!!!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

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 .
