Pet care experience

My partner and I grew up with dogs. I had two dogs of my own, multiple in the family. I currently work from home in the tech industry, but I studied animal science in college and I interned/worked at veterinary offices shelters, aquariums, animal therapy centers for many years in NYC, Connecticut, and Beijing. I also studied animal science abroad in Tanzania.

Grace was amazing! She kept me updated all weekend with texts, photos, and videos of my dog. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Will absolutely be booking with her again!!

Grace was an absolute gem and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. From the moment we left, she made Chester feel completely at home, she was by his side the entire time, keeping him entertained with activities and giving him so much love and attention. Knowing Chester was in such caring hands made it so easy to relax while we were away. What really set Grace apart was how far she went beyond dog sitting. She cleaned our apartment and washed all the linens ahead of a guest arriving. Her communication throughout was consistent, and we always felt informed and at ease. Grace truly treated Chester like her own, and we’re so grateful for everything she did.

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.
