“Alicia was so kind and very responsive. One of our pups is very shy and timid, and she got him to open up to her fairly quickly! We felt so comfortable leaving them with her - especially with her detailed updates and pictures. Thank you so much, Alicia!”
“Erin was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats. Both of them took to her quicker than anyone I've seen before! She was incredibly attentive and always made sure the cats had ample playtime, food, and water. We'll be happy to book Erin again for our next trip!”
“We really hit the jackpot with Casey. Not only is she super conscientious and responsive, but she truly cares about her furry charges. She went out of her way to get our elder cats to accept her caring advances (and it worked) and our Monte fell head over heels in love with her. She even put our lawn sprinklers back when the mowers moved them out of the way and left them - so thoughtful. Finally, her Rover cards/reports are pretty hilarious. Can't thank Casey enough and don't hesitate to book her!”

“Emma was fantastic with our three cats as we took a long road trip to New Hampshire and back over the long weekend. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that my cat that needs medication and an inhaler had both each day. She also kept us up to date about an accident that my cat had, cleaned it, and left the place spotless for us to come home. Emma is a great pet sitter!”

Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vu has been excellent! This was our first time going away and it has been a relief to allow Rosie to stay in the comfort of her own home while we were gone. We got a ton of pictures and updates and it made us feel super comfortable. I am incredibly grateful we found Vu and will definitely be booking with him again for our next vacation!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thorndale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thorndale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
