About: Hi! My name is Natasha (formally), but I go by Natalie or Nat. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old alongside working in a veterinary hospital. I am willing to administer medications if need be and am happy to spend as much time with your furry friend as necessary! Let me know how I can help you help them. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to prioritize each pet’s individual needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, or weekend care. I enjoy building a consistent routine for the pets I care for so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines that help pets feel at ease. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space by keeping everything clean and secure, providing regular updates and photos, and ensuring their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.

About: I had a small maltese-poodle mix for over 16 years who I personally trained, boarded dogs of a family friend, and walked rescue greyhounds and other rescues. I currently have pretty wide open availability with prior notice. I am allergic to cats so unfortunately cannot board cats, but am able to do drops-ins. I currently have a wide range of availability with prior notice while working a PRN job in healthcare with the elderly. Currently available for weekdays and weekends. I will follow any instructions given to a T while striving to maintain the routine your pet is accustomed to, while giving them plenty of scratches and belly rubs and cuddles :) I understand some rescues prefer less physical touch due to trust and comfort issues, and I will proceed with whatever level of touch your pet chooses to engage with me.

Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!

We were very impressed and happy with Youyou’s care of Poe! She was very professional, and performed the tasks we asked her to do perfectly. We were grateful for her coming and going notices and appreciated her comments about Poe’s behaviors. Understanding our concerns about Poe’s adapting to a new caretaker, at our request, Youyou took extra time beyond her scheduled time to check on Poe for us. We would definitely invite Youyou back to care for Poe. Thank you, Paula and Thomas

About: Note: Be sure to check my calendar for availability before booking. Thanks! I adopted my Puerto Rican rescue named Leo in 2019 and he has completely changed my life. He can be reactive on walks and is a super anxious boy in general so I have experience managing nervous dogs. Leo has taught me to see every dog as a cherished family member and loyal companion. When I meet a dog, I want to make them feel as loved and special as they make us feel everyday. My goal is to spend as much time as possible with dogs and I would love to meet yours! I know how exhausting it can be to work and meet your pets needs, and I would love to give you some peace of mind knowing they’ve gotten attention, love, and exercise while you’re busy. I am a student home for the summer and am free until September, but am taking a couple of weekends away so make sure to check my calendar. I am open to spending time with your dog in your home during the day and stay overnight for up to a week. I can do mealtimes and take walks/backyard playtime. And of course, will include endless cuddles.

Our puppy loves Devora!! She is communicative, prompt, reliable, and we know that our puppy is in good hands. She initiated a meet-and-greet before we booked and we could tell she was a good fit right away. She takes Nala on long walks, plays, and sends lots of cute picture updates. We are so lucky to have her watch our pup!

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole entire life. I have dog-watched for neighbors since I was about 12 years old. I am very loving towards animals and am skilled in washing and walking them. There is nothing better than getting to hang out with animals as they provide an unmatched love in our lives. I currently own two disabled dogs so I like to think no challenge is too big or too small. I enjoy dogs and cats of all sizes. I am very good with time management so I plan to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the best attention while you are away from home. I appreciate your time in considering me for the jobs! I work a remote 9-5 so most evenings I am open but I am willing to schedule something out between work and your pet if you need me mid day I listen to the energy the animal is giving off. I try my best to clear myself of negative feelings and stress so the animals feel more at ease amongst my presence

About: As a stay at home spouse, I am very vigilant and attentive with my furry companion; I enjoy petting and giving lots of attention to any dog. I dont mind snuggles and doggy kisses. I'm sweet but disciplinary when need-be. I enjoy grooming( I brush hair) and talking to dogs. I give treats and am mindful of eating schedules and diets. I walk dogs as much as I can. I do take pictures and update on dogs happiness. However, I can only sit small and medium dogs. I can walk or check-in really early in the mornings or late at night. I can be flexible! Available for walks and check ins throughout the day every day depending on availability due to medical appointments but will notify ahead of time. Best times are early in the morning and late at night and weekends mostly afternoon/evening and super early mornings. No answer at this time. Willing to negotiate conditions. Thank you for understanding.Looking forward to meeting your fur baby and developing a friendship. N n

She was available to come on such short notice to do a check-in on my puppy Nova while we were out and sent plenty of photos and updates while they were together! She took Nova on a nice walk and hung out with her/made sure she had water before leaving. My home was the way we left it when we returned - I would happily have her watch Nova again !

Sophia was incredibly kind to accept a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she did. She was also very patient when we had issues with the access code I gave her. I never planned on getting home late, and she truly saved the day. Even though it was my first time booking with Sophia, I had a really good feeling after looking at her profile, and I was right. Knowing Kim was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of her! I would absolutely book with Sophia again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Dunn Loring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dunn Loring on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 15,512 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dunn Loring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dunn Loring stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dunn Loring choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Dunn Loring with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dunn Loring. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
