I liked being able to read bios and reviews of my potential pet sitter options. I also liked that I could create a pet profile for my dog so the sitters could get to know him a little too to ensure a good fit. The sitter I ended up choosing and I messaged back and forth a little before confirming so we knew things would go well.

Theresa who cared for my cat was so wonderful and had great communication with me. My kitty loved her too which was a huge help. I look forward to working with her again!

What made the difference was the sitter Naomi; our fur babies took to her quite well! Definitely will hired her again!

We needed a last minute Rover cat sitter, and Gregory proved to be the best! He took excellent care of our kitties, updated us with texts and photos. We are so pleased!

We had a meet and greet with Christopher, about a month before our trip. Our dogs, Harry and Capone, loved him and so did we! This was the first time we were going to leave our boys with a sitter, so we were a little nervous. Christopher erased any nerves we had. He sent photos of our pups, everyday we were gone and texted how they were doing! I highly recommend Rover, and especially Christopher! Thank you 😊

I had an overall positive experience, but the reality didn’t quite match the reviews I was relying on while choosing the dog sitter.

We found our dream pet sitter on Rover!

I've been a cat sitter on Cat in a flat for a number of years. I've done over 200 bookings, with over 70 owners and a number of repeat clients. CIAF recently merged with Rover and it's been a total faff from the start. Everything is convoluted and it's like they just thought it'd be all the same cos it's just pets. CIAF felt like a supportive, small, local community. Rover feels anonymous, competitive and driven by profit (pay to be at the top of search results! Charge extra for everything!). There's been no onboarding for owners/sitters. The only comms that I and my cat clients got was a tiny notification on the CIAF site with a FAQ that didn't contain much.
