I can leave my dogs without stress when Elena watches them. I know she will get creative when needed, understands they can be messy, and always gives them love and affection no matter the crazy :). Thank you!!

Elena was great. The dogs got comfortable with her almost right away (one can be a bit anxious), the communication was great, and the house was neat and tidy when we returned.

We had never used Rover before and weren't really sure what to expect, but Elena was amazing! She was very communicative and sent pics and updates everyday. When our contractor unexpectedly came to do some work on the house, she handled it beautifully. She even updated us on the contractor's coming and goings, which we very much appreciated. On top of all this, she took great care of our pup! Leaving your pet can be overwhelming, a little sad, and even make you feel a little guilty. Now we realize that we were leaving her with someone who truly cared for her just was much as we do. And that is a really good feeling. We felt that Elena really went above and beyond. We would love to use her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
