Rover offers sitters and pet parents the flexibility to customize their experience for each service. You and your sitter or dog walker may agree on something different depending on your pet's needs. We recommend that before you book a stay, you communicate those expectations ahead of time with your sitter or dog walker so you're both in agreement on the type of care your pet will receive.
