About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.
About: I’m very responsible and mindful of other peoples property. I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. Im also dependable and can accommodate short notice. I currently work overnights. I’m available to stop by all days and evenings. I’m able to feed, play and/or walk your dogs. Can stay as long as you need me to. When taking care of your pet their safety and security will be my #1 priority. I currently have a fully fenced yard and I’m constantly supervising my own dogs when they are outside.
About: With 30+ years of pet care experience, I provide loving, attentive care for pets of all ages. Experienced with puppy training, senior pets, and giving medications, I treat every pet like family while you’re away. As a mother of four, a special education teacher, and a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’m home by 3 PM on weekdays and have open weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, meals, and companionship. Your pets will be treated like family, with consistent care, attention, and lots of love while you’re awa Clean, attentive, and passionate about pets! I go above and beyond in your home, keeping your fur babies happy, safe, and loved—and I’ll send professional-quality photos to make you smile while you’re away.
About: I have had a dog in the house since I was born. The first dog adopted in my family was a rescue mix named Bosco. The second dog we adopted was a sheepdog spaniel mixed named Arlo. The current dog that we have and adopted in 2020 is a 6 year old rescue blue heeler, chihuahua mix. Every dog I have adopted has had a unique personality. Getting to know each individual personality is a strong suit of mine as I love to bond with each pet uniquely as they all truly have their own needs and wants that need to be adapted to. :) I am a travel physical therapist from NY! I’m on a temporary contract here in SC, and I would love to care for your pup as I miss my buddy Mylo who is my family dog back in NY. My schedule would allow me to care for your pup some weekday mornings, abd some evenings depending on the weekday. I am available both weekend days all day! :) I am used to dogs that require high energy but also love to care for dogs with lower energy too! My pup at home is a high energy dog that requires lots of physical activity and loves to play while staying mentally involved! However, if your dog just needs a companion and some tummy rubs, I would love to provide that too :)
About: I never had the pleasure of owning a dog of my own growing up, so I always had a greater appreciation for the moments I got to enjoy being in the company of a friendly dog. I have always loved animals in general and dogs especially. Your dog will be in great, caring hands with me. I will be sure to treat all animals with as much care and utmost respect they are used to and deserve. Over the past year I have walked many dogs through other dog walking apps and have enjoyed the time I got to spend with them. I plan to continue my excellent care for any animal I have the pleasure of walking or sitting through this app as well. I am available most evenings starting at 4, I can be available earlier on Thursdays. I can be flexible for walks on my lunch breaks. I pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable. You can rest assured that your dog is in good hands and will be well taken care of.
About: I have grown up around animals. I absolutely adore them. I have always been an animal lover sometimes I like them more than people lol. I have a dog of my own so I am well aware of what they need and what makes them happy. I am currently working full time. But with school starting soon I will be working less hours and will be able to be more accommodating. I am available Mondays after 2pm, Tuesday after 3pm, Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 5pm and Saturday and Sundays change weekly. I will make sure to take your animal out as often as they need. I will make sure they get fed on time. And I will follow all directions that I am given about what the animal needs.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and always aspired to be a veterinarian. I ended up changing my goal to wanting to open a animal shelter so that I can help out in that way and provide support for homeless animals. I am currently working on achieving that goal. If you allow me to spend time with your pet I promise you that they will receive the best care in my hands! I will treat them like they’re mine and like they’re my babies because I know that that is how most people view their pets and I would want someone to do the same for me and my pets. Thank you in advance for allowing me to take care of your animals! I have open availability as of right now! You can book me any time you need! I hope that I meet every expectation that you have and that you have an amazing day! I care for pets by first showing love and affection! Then by fulfilling whatever needs the pet or the owner has! It’s important for me to get to know your pet so that I be able to do whatever I can for them!
About: I have always been an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and with special needs. Let me spoil your cat or dog while you need to step away! I included pictures of past pets that I have owned or cared for. I work from home with a flexible daily schedule, so your precious pet will get non-stop attention. Daycare drop off and pickup hours can be between 6 am and 7 pm. Pickup times after 7 pm would need to be booked as overnight boarding with pickup the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Currently, I don’t have any pets in my apartment, yet I have plenty of open space for hosting furry visitors. I have worked with many foster dogs who were abused and needed extra attention, so I am sensitive to any special needs your pet may have. I will be glad to take your dog for outside walks at least few times a day! Please let me know of any other needs your pet may have and I will be happy to discuss how I could accommodate.
“Natalie has been amazing! She has cared for my cat with CKD multiple times and has made it for me to be away for several days as needed. Natalie shows amazing care and concern for my cat and provides plenty of updates with each visit. Will continue to rely on Natalie in the future and I recommend to her to anyone!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colonial Village
Jacqueline is a wizard. An animal whisperer. My dog is a ball of anxiety and my cat is a recluse and she was able to win both of their hearts. She was very flexible and always on time for each drop in (except the afternoon on Sunday during the Bills game which is acceptable. Go Bills!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
