The short answer
A ROVER.COM * PET SITTING entry may relate to a Rover pet-care booking. Compare the service date and amount with your booking history. The listed help documents explain service and cancellation procedures, but do not verify this exact bank-statement spelling.

Match the payment to a pet-care booking
Rover says the card is charged when a service is booked, not when the sitter receives their payout. Compare your booking confirmation and payment amount with the bank entry. A future service date can therefore differ from the payment date; that difference alone does not establish a duplicate or unauthorized charge.
Ask anyone authorized to use the payment method whether they arranged pet care. A familiar service name is a clue; it does not establish that you approved this specific payment. If you have no matching booking, describe it as unrecognized when asking the company or issuer to investigate.

Cancel the relevant service
Rover’s app cancellation starts in Inbox → Upcoming. Select the booking, open the three-dot menu, choose Modify booking and then Cancel booking. Review the cancellation details, select a reason and send the sitter the requested message before confirming. If the sitter requested cancellation, Rover says they need to cancel from their own account.
- Open Inbox → Upcoming and select the correct Rover booking.
- Choose Modify booking → Cancel booking and inspect the displayed policy and cancellation details.
- Select the reason, review the sitter message and confirm; keep a copy of the resulting record.

Keep the records you have
Rover describes full or partial refunds according to the sitter’s cancellation policy. Its cancellation article says issuance to the original payment method is within 1–3 business days of cancellation, and bank processing can take longer. This is not a promise that the credit will be visible in that interval. Keep the cancellation and refund confirmations separately.
If the payment remains unexplained, contact your issuer promptly using the number on your card or its official app. This site cannot inspect your account, cancel a booking, determine refund eligibility or submit a dispute for you.

Questions about this descriptor

No. The descriptor needs to be compared with your own booking and payment records. Exact descriptor provenance remains unresolved in the listed primary documents.
How do I cancel a Rover service?
In the Rover app, select Inbox → Upcoming, open the booking and use Modify booking → Cancel booking. Review the sitter’s policy before confirming. Refund issuance and bank posting are separate stages.
