How to Pick the Pet Care Provider That's Right for You!

We know that your pets are family. That's why it is important to find a pet care provider that you trust. But with so many different pet care providers out there, how do you know which one is right for you?

Here are a few things to consider when choosing a pet care provider:

• What are your needs? Do you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work? Or do you need someone to watch your cat while you're on vacation?
• What is your budget? Pet care providers charge different rates; some providers charge per pet, and some charge for meet and greets. 
• What are your expectations? What kind of services are you looking for? How often do you want your pet care provider to visit your home?
• What are your pet's needs? Does your pet have any special needs?
• What are your hours look like? Do you need someone who is flexible and can come at different times?
• Are they comfortable with cameras in your home?
• Is the provider app-based? Can you request your dates at your convenience, and will you receive  a report card after each visit with pictures, video, and GPS tracking of your sitters location during the visit (or path taken if its a dog walk)?

Here are a few additional tips for choosing a pet care provider:

• Ask your friends and family for recommendations.
• Read online reviews.
• Schedule a meet and greet with potential pet care providers.
• Ask the pet care provider questions about their experience, services, and rates.
• Make sure the pet care provider is insured and bonded (Rover's Guarantee isn't insurance or bonding fyi).
• Get everything in writing.

We hope these tips help you choose the pet care provider that's right for you!
