Rover has been a lifesaver for me and my two dogs. Last winter, I had to leave town unexpectedly and booked Emily, a sitter with great reviews nearby. She was incredibly attentive, sending me updates multiple times a day and even taking my shy dog for extra walks. The booking was easy through the app, and payment was hassle-free. I’ve used Rover multiple times since and Emily remains my top pick for reliable care.

Convenient but fees surprised me
I like how easy Rover is to use and the variety of sitters in my area. Booked a walker last week and the person was on time and friendly. However, I wasn’t aware of the extra service fees until after booking which was annoying. Still, the dog enjoyed the walk so I’ll probably use it again.

Mostly great, but a hiccup
Booked a sitter for my golden retriever last month and things went well until the last day when the sitter texted about a sudden emergency and had to leave early. Rover support helped me find a backup quickly but the disruption stressed my dog a bit. Otherwise, the platform is easy to navigate and the profiles offer good info. Just wish the backup plan was smoother.

Trustworthy caregivers and smooth process
I’ve tried several pet care services over the years but Rover stands out for the quality of caregivers I've met. Recently, when I needed someone to board my cat while on vacation, I found a sitter who was not only certified but genuinely cared for my pet’s special needs. Communication was flawless, the photos sent reassured me a lot, and drop-off/pick-up were on time. The platform’s review system helped me choose confidently which made all the difference.

Happy with the sitter and updates
I found a sitter through Rover when I had to travel for work last month. She was great with my cat, sending daily pics and updates which really eased my worries. The booking process was straightforward, and I appreciated the detailed sitter reviews. Only downside was a small fee I didn’t catch initially but it was manageable.

Excellent care for my pup
Used Rover twice now and each time the dog walker was punctual and really sweet with my puppy. Love how the app sends photos during walks, keeps me updated, and the pricing is transparent. Definitely my go-to when I'm busy at work.

Wonderful platform and caring sitters
I can’t recommend Rover enough for dog sitting. Last summer, I booked a sitter for a week-long trip. The sitter was friendly, sent me updates daily, and made sure my dog got plenty of playtime and walks. The app’s messaging feature works great for quick questions and the payment was smooth without hidden fees. It’s been a huge relief knowing my pet is in good hands every time I travel.
