Rover (the pet-sitting and dog-walking platform) includes coverage designed to protect both pet parents and caregivers when a booking is made and paid through Rover. In general, their protection focuses on certain costs tied to injuries or damage that may happen during a scheduled service—things like a pet getting hurt, a sitter getting bitten, or property being damaged while care is taking place.

Coverage generally has limitations, exclusions, and requirements. Common examples of items that may be excluded include pre-existing conditions, routine wellness care, and incidents that occur outside the booked service window or off-platform. There may also be deductibles, caps, and documentation requirements.
