Whether you need daytime or overnight care, there are services to fit your pet’s unique needs and your schedule on Rover. Try drop-in visits (for both dogs and cats), dog walking, doggy day care, or, if you’re looking for overnight care, book a pet sitter for house sitting or boarding.

ENSURE EACH SITTER IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PET
Connect with pet sitters in-person before you book, so you can make sure it’s a good fit for your pet. Sitters can learn about your pet’s unique quirks, their eating and sleeping habits, as well as get to know your pet before they begin caring for them.

Real-time messages and in-app chat with your sitter help you easily stay connected.

Ratings and Reviews
Great support with helpful answers to every issue or concern I've had. The app is easy to use, brings me lots of new clients and makes coordinating bookings straightforward. I also appreciate the thorough background checks, which help build trust between sitters and pet parents. The calendar is easy to navigate and integrates seamlessly with Google Calendar, making it simple to keep track of bookings and availability. Overall, a great platform for pet sitters!
great service for taking care of your fur babies
It's embarrassing catinaflat joined this app!! Nothing works and it's proper cat rasicm there!
Update: still worthless with no fixes to the bugs. I pay Rover fees for the app. Fix It! Can't open Rover Cards when I arrive on a job or close so the time stamps is incorrect when it finally opens. The dog walk gps is glitching as well. It will open and says it’s tracking then when I hit finish walk it disappears and looks like I did not walk the dog. I put in 1x feed etc and it defaults to 2. I have plenty of bars so it's not my cell service.
As a 10year ROVER sitter, I've rarely had problems with the app. I think some customers have a difficult time setting up pet profiles. Many times in the past, I get more info from text messaging. The support teams have been very helpful when needed.
This app as the owner and sitter are truly awful. Every other pet sitting app and service allows for both the owner and sitter to search for one another. On this that falls solely on the owner making finding a sitter more difficult. As the sitter you have no way of setting your rates for cat sitting and cat sitting is ALWAYS set to a lower rate than dog sitting. I understand it started as a dog sitting app but to have a policy as a company that cats are less than is just disgusting.
