What kind of pets can sitters on Rover watch?Rover was created to make it easy to find loving care for dogs and cats of any age, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. Some pet sitters do understand how to care for other pet types, such as birds, bunnies, lizards, or fish, and they may list this experience in their profiles, however Rover is intended for dog and cat care.Can I find available pet sitters on short notice through Rover?If you need a pet sitter on short notice, start by entering your dates into a Rover search. Look for the green checkmark at the bottom of each listing to find sitters who have recently updated their availability. Star Sitter status is also a good indicator that a sitter is likely to respond quickly to your message. The Star Sitter program recognizes pet sitters and dog walkers with a track record of highly-rated care for pets and responsive, reliable service for pet parents on Rover.Not seeing the sitters you need? Try broadening your search to include sitters who live a little farther away.**Tip:** In a time crunch? When searching, reach out to a few sitters at a time to find the best fit for your family even faster.How do I know a pet sitter is reliable?Rather than relying on one factor, Rover offers multiple trust signals to help pet parents evaluate a pet sitter’s reliability. Background checks, star ratings, repeat clients, photo updates, and Star Sitter status are all ways to identify a reliable sitter. The same call, in code.
