About: My name is Natasha, and I am very passionate about caring for animals - I even worked for a rescue for many years! Part of why I love caring for animals with Rover is because I get to know and love so many new furry friends. I promise to treat your pets like my own, and give them love and care while you are away! I'm located in Amherst, on the border of Merrimack, and while I cannot offer boarding at this time as I have two young kids and a pup who has only been with us about 6 months and wouldn't do well yet with other pets in the home, I still would love to get the opportunity to spoil other animals in my area with love. I will treat your pets with respect and affection, and I am always happiest when I have a furry friend by my side. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family members! I currently work full time remote, so I am home during the day every day and am able to keep good attention to my pup and any pups we watch. We treat every pup we watch as though they are our own. We absolutely love dogs, and will go out of our way to provide the best care possible.
About: I grew up with a dog and have always been surrounded by animals, which naturally shaped my love and understanding of pet care. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and treat every animal like my own. I’m currently working part time from home so there is plenty of time for me to play with your pet, very flexible schedule always happy to lend a helping hand! I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every space with respect, keep things clean and secure, and follow all care instructions closely. Your pet will stay in their normal routine while receiving lots of attention, and I’m happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up all my life with both dogs and cats and have taken care/responsibility of them from a young age and would love nothing more than to help out and spend my free time giving them attention and care! I’m a nurse who currently works Monday-Thursdays and have my weekends available for day visits and overnight stays if needed! I’m also available in the mornings on Mondays! I’m very respectful towards my clients homes and care for them as carefully and cautiously as the pets I care for. I treat their homes as I would want my own treated and if I have any questions or concerns I’m not afraid to reach out!

About: I’ve owned dogs ranging from 50 lbs to 80lbs through out my life. I have worked with all types of animals from as small as chickens up to 2000lb horses. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to stay overnight to watch your precious little pups. I also have time to swing by during the day to let them out on a walk. For animals in your home I will follow whatever directions are left for me. On top of that I will also give the animals as much love as they need.
“Katie was wonderful to work with and she took great care of my large golden, Andre, on the thanksgiving holiday. I was happy to see photos and updates while we were away. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for over 9 years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I currently care for my own dog, handling daily responsibilities like feeding, walking, bathing, and making sure they stay happy, healthy, and active. In addition to caring for my own pet, I’ve spent several years helping friends and family with their dogs. I regularly provide drop-in visits while they’re on vacation, making sure their pets are well-fed, comfortable, and get plenty of attention. I also take dogs on walks, keep up with their routines, and ensure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and attention to detail. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer visit, I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care and giving pet owners peace of mind. I am a student at WPI, so I am currently looking for summer work. I will be available every weekday early mornings to mid/late afternoon. I am willing to be flexible on my time availability and the amount of visits I can do depending on what the client is looking for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or specific house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining the environment they’re used to. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being and will update you regularly for peace of mind. When walking or caring for pets, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding unsafe situations, and staying aware of surroundings at all times. Overall, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable experience so both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Merrimack stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Merrimack 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 .

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 Merrimack with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
