What kinds of animals does Rover care for?
Rover allows you to book services for dogs, cats or both. If you’re booking for dogs, Rover will ask what size your dogs are and whether they’re adults or puppies. Puppies need special care, so you must get someone good at handling young dogs. You’ll also be asked how many visits your pets need daily and whether you want to set up a weekly schedule or book a single chunk of time.
Whether you have dogs or cats and no matter what kind of care you’re looking for, Rover makes it easy to ensure your pets stay safe and healthy while you’re gone.
What services are available through Rover?
Rover offers six different services:
-
Boarding services: Your pet stays overnight at the sitter’s home. This is great if you don’t think your pet can handle being at home alone for an extended period.
-
Drop-in visits: Sitters stop by to play with and feed your pets, clean litter boxes and give potty breaks. It’s the best choice if your pets are good at staying home alone for a period of time.
-
House sitting: The sitter cares for both your pets and home, which can include picking up the mail, taking out the trash and more.
-
Dog walking: The sitter takes your dog on walks around the neighborhood. It’s good for busy dog owners or people who have a friend or neighbor to feed their pets but not take them outdoors.
-
Doggy daycare: Your dog spends the day — but not the night — at the sitter’s home. This is a great option for rambunctious dogs or owners who work extended hours.
-
Dog training: You can learn skills to curb unwanted behaviors in your dog. Rover offers private, virtual dog training through GoodPup, providing a one-on-one video chat that allows you to train your dog from the comfort of your home.
Depending on your pet’s needs, you may opt for one or more of these services regularly or just while you’re out of town.
Does Rover make it easy to trust sitters?
Rover provides extra peace of mind for people who need to leave their beloved pets in the care of someone else. All sitters must pass a background check, provide a detailed profile and verify personal information, which a real person approves, before they can start sitting. You can also pay through the Rover app or website, making it easier to manage payments.
When you book through Rover, you can use the Rover Guarantee, 24/7 customer support and easy communication with your sitter. That’s why so many people use Rover to book pet-sitting services.
