Definitely ask for a meet-and-greet with any potential sitter. Some Rovers charge for it, some don't. We met with a handful and considered any charges worth it to narrow down one(s) we felt would work for us. And then we also had another one or two for backups that we could schedule if our main one wasn't available. Luck!

I think meet and greets are good! I’d say about half of the people who’ve hired me have done them. Of those folks, maybe half just wanted to talk to me and half wanted me to meet the animal. It is kind of intimate to have someone in your house; it’s definitely ok to ask for their full name, too.
