“Gracie saved us with a drop-in visit on Christmas Eve. She was kind to my over excited and lonely dog. Even took her on walks out in the bitter cold. Five out of five gold star service!”

“Cynthia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week. She was flexible to meet up beforehand, thorough, and gave great updates throughout the week. I will definitely book her again!”

“Abbey took great care of my two cats while I was away! She was very communicative, sent many photos, and even stayed longer than necessary. The cats loved all of the attention they got from Abbey!”

“Erin did an awesome job with our cat Mipha! She communicated clearly with me and provided great updates and photos. Mipha was very happy when we got back and we look forward to working with Erin again in the future.”

“Margaret did a let out of our pups while we were away for the day and did an amazing job. We had not even met her and she was able to handle everything perfectly through written instruction. We will definitely use her again.”

“Shane was wonderful as always. A very last minute scheduling conflict came up in my household that would have left our animals without care. Shane was kind enough to accommodate us so last minute and take care of everyone. So thankful he could help us in a pinch like that.”

“Byul was an excellent sitter. She was incredibly thorough in her daily reports. She is reliable and kind. The house looked spotless when I returned! I will definitely be using her services again.”

“Thomas went above and beyond with our girls! He spent lots of time playing/petting, sent great pictures and gave thorough reports. All of this gave us peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were out of the country. I’d highly recommend him!”

“Jordan was absolutely great while taking care of our cat, Pico. She was very communicative and was quick to let us know of any updates. Overall, a great experience. Thanks!”


About: Hello! I am currently pet-free, looking to get some experience with having animals in my and my family's lives. I will be the responsible party taking care of your pet, but plan to be assisted by my 9-year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals. We would love the chance to take care of your pet while you're away or during times when you need an extra hand for whatever reason. We love to play and snuggle as much as possible - if they're the snuggling type, of course! Weekend pet care is ideal for us, but we can make long weekends and longer stays work! We have no pets in our home, so your little one would get our full attention. I am able to travel around the Del Ray area to provide drop-in care or walks. If the pet stays with us, I do have a fenced in yard for small to medium dogs. I would follow the owner's preferences in terms of whether the pet prefers to sleep with people around (in which case they'd stay with me in my room), or not.
“Crisa is super reliable. We know our girls are in great hands with her when we are away. She is also great at providing care for my older dog who has some health issues and needs medicine. We highly recommend!”

“Emily is super attentive to our corgi and always provides detailed notes about her drop-ins and walks. She is communicative, punctual, and professional. Our pup loves her!”

About: As a pet-owner and rover-user myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust take care of your pets when you aren't available. I am passionate about giving dogs happy highlights to each and every day, and I love to play with them and take them on long walks to sniff and enjoy the outdoors. As a work-from-home employee, I am often free during work hours to pay your pet a visit or take them on a nice walk to help break up the day while you are away! I can be free on evenings and weekends as well, and would be happy to spend time playing with your pet and giving them happy moments each and every day while they wait for you to return. My dog loves to play indoors, which means I am extra vigilant that the house is safe for him should he get zoomies and run around the furniture. I would be careful to provide that safe environment for your dog as well, in your home or mine.
“Adriana was amazing when I needed someone to come and walk my pup last minute! She was punctual, easy to communicate with, and took the best pics! But best of all, Rex took to her immediately. She has been so great for my anxious soul and I couldn’t have enjoyed my trip without her! Literally a life savior and the best with doggos!”

“Alexandra was dependable and had great communication! She watched our 2 cats for 5 days and made us feel at ease leaving the cats in her care. She did a great job - thank you!”

“I am so happy we found Sarah! She’s very communicative, and provides excellent care…letting owners know exactly what she’s doing…and she takes great pictures! She went above and beyond what was asked, and I truly felt my pup was in the best care possible. Would recommend to anyone, and we will certainly be booking her again!”

Northeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took a very last minute booking to drop in on my cats when I was snowed in and unable to find anyone else to look after them. She did an amazing job and took such great care of my boys. So grateful for her and would highly recommend her for your furry friends!

Carina is a wonderful sitter. She’s great with my cat and very communicative, always sending thoughtful updates and photos. She’s attentive, reliable, and clearly cares a lot about the pets she looks after. I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in her care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Amy is an amazing pet sitter! If you’re looking for someone who is responsive and will take great care of your pets, consider hiring Amy. I reached out to Amy when I needed a last minute pet sitter and she did a wonderful job providing updates/pictures and taking care of my fur babies.

We were so grateful to have Tara watching Lucy while we were out of town during a snow storm. She was incredibly reliable and responsive. Twice she added a visit to accommodate our delayed and canceled flights. Thankful that we were able to count on her to care for our girl!

Kaitlyn was responsive, punctual and did everything we asked her to do. She took great care of our two cats and even got our more timid cat to come out and be seen at all her visits. She took photos of our pets and let us know when she began and ended each visit too. We will contact Kaitlyn next time we need a sitter. She is trustworthy and highly recommended!
