Rover Review
(Written by an active sitter)
Rover is the ultimate side-gig for animal lovers and a vital tool for filling scheduling gaps in a nomadic lifestyle. It allows you to earn while you travel.
Turning Animal Care into Income
Unlike house sitting exchanges, Rover is a marketplace for paid pet services. I use it primarily for overnight house sitting and drop-in visits. It’s an excellent way to monetize your skills as a responsible sitter while you move between long-term sits.
Why it works for travelers:
- Flexibility: Set your own rates and availability.
- Demand: High demand in almost every US city.
- Safety: The Rover Guarantee and 24/7 support.

Yes. TrustedHousesitters lists a range of sits. Start small and build reviews for bigger opportunities.
Not necessarily. Start with small local assignments. Focus on building a trustworthy profile and clear communication.
Short local sits, weekends, or houses with fewer pets are easiest. Avoid competitive, long term sits at first.
