“Andrea was an awesome sitter for our nine year-old Golden. This was the first time we’ve used Rover and we could not be happier! Andrea and her family treated Dundee like one of their own pets, making sure she asked us anytime there was any issue, playing with him, walking him, and routinely engaging with us and sending pictures. we would gladly use her anytime.”

“I love to hang with Thomas. I get to hang out on the couch and talk to all my dog friends! He gives my mom updates so she doesn’t worry about me. It’s like the best sleep over ever! We play in the backyard and take naps! I just wish my family would go on vacation so I could hang out with Thomas more often. -written by Arrow the dog”
“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our brand new puppy Violet. She is only 14 weeks so I was so nervous to leave her for the night. He put my mind to ease right away at the meet and greet. His dog Charlie was a delight as well. She played so well with Violet. He was awesome at sending updates and photos the whole time we were gone. We will definitely be using Mark again. You can tell that he takes caring for other peoples loved ones very serious. He definitely has a passion and love free animals.”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”

“Highly recommend! Ashley was great about being responsive and sending updates of how my pup was doing! I am positive my dog had a great time because she has been so tired and sleeping all day! I also had to pick her up a couple hours later than planned due to a flight delay, and Ashley was so flexible with us!”
“We are so thankful we found Kathy to watch our beagle,Kona. She is absolutely the best! We felt comfortable from the very first time we met Kathy during our Meet and Greet. She watched Kona for two days when we went out of town. Kathy kept us updated and sent pictures. Communication was awesome! She loves dogs and treats them like one of her own. Kona loved going for walks and playing with her dog Charleigh. We already have dates set for Kathy to watch Kona during our upcoming trips. She is truly amazing!”

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 NE 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.
