“Miley had a great time, was well fed, and beloved by Andrea and her family. I will be using her again and already recommended her to a friend! Thanks Andrea!”
“Tyler was awesome! My dog Ozzy stayed with him for the weekend and was so well cared for. He also sent daily updates which I loved getting. I will certainly have Tyler watch Oz again!”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Dana and Nia were wonderful sitters for our 6 month old puppy. She was meant to stay with them for 5 days and go to a friend of mines house for the rest of my trip but she got sick on her first day with my friend. Dana and Nia happily took her back the next day and got her back to normal health. They knew exactly how to handle the situation and were very chill about it. Rosie had a great time with them, in their yard and on adventures outside of their house. 100% recommend Dana and Nia!”
“Had an amazing experience with Alesia! She sent me updates and pictures every couple of hours and also reached out immediately when there were questions. She also took my dog out for multiple walks when he was refusing to pee. We have a longer stay booked with her and I have peace of mind knowing that my dog will be with her.”
“Hyesoo and her husband were such kind and caring hosts for our Maltipoo! They were extremely accommodating and took picture updates that really delighted us and let us know he was in good hands. I can see why she has 51 5-star reviews!!!! Thank you Hyesoo!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“We recently left our Cavapoo, Elsa, with Oscar and Gaelle for almost a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! This was our first time leaving Elsa with someone else, and they made us feel so at ease. Oscar and Gaelle absolutely spoiled Elsa with toys, attention, and care. They kept us updated with regular videos, and it was clear Elsa was having a great time with plenty of walks and playtime. Elsa also loved the company of their dog, Caline, and it was heartwarming to see them bond. The care and attention they gave Elsa went above and beyond—her fur was beautifully brushed, and they even gave her a shower! We felt completely at peace knowing Elsa was in such loving hands. We would 100% trust them with Elsa again and highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring boarder. Thank you, Oscar and Gaelle!”
“Kat is always an incredible sitter but went above and beyond during this visit! Due to a door lock snafu she had difficulty gaining access to my apartment and I was on a 12 hour flight rendering it impossible for me to help or respond to her messages. She had the perseverance to go to my building twice and contact management with proof of our Rover agreement in order to make sure my baby girl did not end up stuck overnight alone. We can't thank her enough for being so proactive and wonderful! Every time I leave my girl in her care I feel so confident she'll be well taken care of.”
“Gustavo was absolutely perfect to watch my 9 month old puppy. He was intentional, caring, and had great communication. He took care of Remi under a last minute request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Definitely recommend and will re-book when I can!”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Alan and Ying are beyond attentive, made us feel very comfortable and confident when leaving our pup with them. Great communication across the board!”
“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“My dog Tayto loves going to stay with Jason and Noah! He is clearly so happy and comfortable there that he runs to their door when we arrive. Jason sends the best photos and videos throughout his stay. Tayto can’t wait until next time!”
“Eddie, the dog, always loves hanging with JP and family. He and Indy have a blast, and I’m always thrilled about JP’s good care of Eddie. I highly recommend!”
“Jim really saved me when I had a totally last minute request to board Clio. (Due to a medical emergency). He made it so easy and sent photos and updates and was completely flexible on when I would come back to pick her up. I can't thank him enough for taking such good care of her.”

“Julie was wonderful with my pets! I have two blind cats, who are still being introduced to each other, so it's not a simple visit, and I couldn't be more pleased with Julie's care. She was proactive about asking questions regarding their care that I hadn't specified in my instructions and really went the extra mile to help out. I highly recommend!”
“Jordan was great. No issues whatsoever with my diabetic cat’s insulin injections. She was thorough and clean. Will definitely book Jordan again.”
“Katherine took care of my two cats when I was out of town for a weekend. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was very responsive and communicative about her visits. Even though I had no preference over timing, every morning she let me know what time she would stop by. After every visit she sent pictures and a written note of how the cats behaved and what food she gave them or what toys she had them play with. She was super patient with my shy kitten, who was getting over an upset tummy at the time. She gave him the probiotics as instructed and managed to get pictures even when he hid under the bed, and by day three he had warmed up to her! I definitely felt she took care of them as if they were her own cats, would book her again without a doubt.”
“Nick was great and provided us with lots of updates & pics! Had a delay on a littler shipment and he picked some up for us which was much appreciated!! Will use again.”
“Debra went above and beyond for the two days she came to watch my cats! She made sure they had food/water, played with them, cleaned the litter box and gave them treats, and sent updates and pictures of the kitties. They both loved her, including my cat that is very skiddish and takes awhile to warm up to people. She even helped talk to maintenance at my apartment building when she noticed the smoke alarm was chirping and tried to get it to stop which was very helpful. I definitely want to book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!”
About: Hello :) my name is Elena, I've had the privilege of owning two gorgeous Bombay cats since I was 10 years old. My soul kitty, Sofia, passed away last year, I live with her brother Simon and he is happy and healthy with hyperthyroidism. I have experience with shy cats, friendly cats, administering meds to cats, maintaining rigid feeding schedules, introducing cats to each other—all the care and keeping that comes with cats, I have done! I am also a very clean person: I really try to make sure the cats can have as neat and tidy a space us humans and believe it improves their quality of life! I have many close friends (whose cats are my nieces and nephews) who can vouch for me being a proper cat lady :) Please ask any questions you'd like and tell me about your cat!
“Alexa was an amazing sitter, and Im so grateful to have found her! I was in a bind when my previous sitter dropped out of contact, but Alexa was prompt and courteous about stepping in. She followed all my requests and was an amazing communicator, providing me with regular updates and images. My cats were well taken care of and loved, giving me peace of mind while traveling. They really took to her and when I got home, they had clearly been cared for. They were happy to see me, but not frantic & settled very quickly into "oh, you're back. Cool." Which tells me they were happy in my absence.”
“Jennifer cat-sat for us for the second time and did an amazing job! I was so worried about leaving our two cats alone for 12 days but Jennifer's detailed daily check-ins and photos helped alleviate my anxiety completely. She followed all of the directions we left and you can just tell that she truly loves the animals she cares for. I would recommend Jennifer as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Lucy did a great job watching Chica and Benji! She did everything we asked and the pets were super happy when we came home with no accidents anywhere! We will 100% reach out to her again.”
“I’m really grateful for Mirabel’s help, and she kept us updated on the kitties all the time. It made our trip smooth and easy as we knew they are in good hands with her!”
“Dominque was a responsible and responsive cat sitter! Our sometimes timid kitty warmed up to her right away. She sent some cute photos and a timely update. Would highly recommend and will use again! Thanks, Dominque!”
“Morgan and Meaghan were incredible! They sent several photos during each check in and kept us up to date with how our kitties were doing. We will definitely keep them in mind for the next time we need a sitter. 🙂”
“Cynthia was lovely! Prompt with communication, so friendly and great to work with. Clearly my kitties really liked her and she sent lots of photos and a video! Would definitely recommend her for drop in visits!”
“Megan was responsive, proactive, communicative, and my two cats really seemed to like her! She also sent great photos from all her visits. I'm super grateful for her and look forward to working with her again!”

“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“Jamie was wonderful! Kind, considerate, great communicator. My dog Eddie had such a happy day in her and her family’s care. We definitely look forward to next time!!”
“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Kristen was absolutely terrific. Our old dog has to spend long days alone when we are at work and Kristen came to visit her for walks and friendship while we were gone. She always sent wonderful updates about their adventures and was clearly very sweet to our old girl in addition to getting her some exercise. She even brought her a toy and left us a sweet card. I can't say enough about Kristen and how much we appreciated her. I can enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their pet will be well loved and cared for.”

She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”

“Mirabel was great walking my dog! She was able to last minute walk him while I was in a bind trying to get him a walk while I worked! Would recommend her!”
“Needed a last minute late afternoon, early evening walker and Suki was able to jump in. Thankful she did. She had never met my dog or me before, but used the instructions left on the River site, and was able to smoothly walk my dog without any issues or questions. She sent pics, and took Charlie for an extended walk. Came home and she was happy and healthy. I would definitely use Suki to walk my dog again, and I am thankful she was available when I needed her. Awesome job!”
