About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. Sharing my time petting, walking, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone is always a fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 4 cats and 2 German Shepherds, and later welcomed a small mixed-breed dog into the family, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also currently around 5 cats and have built a strong bond with each of them—I’m attentive to every pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their humans are away. 🐾💕 🐾 My Schedule & Availability I work part-time as a fitness instructor, which gives me plenty of flexibility and open pockets throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m most available mid-day through early evening, with full availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, overnight stays, and extended care for week-long trips. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some extra company while you’re away, or a full week of care, I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and comfortable in their routine! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. Whether we’re out on a walk or staying at home, I’ll provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾💕

I currently have the sweetest Great Dane named Beauty. She’s sincerely the sweetest rescue we have ever had. She is a gentle giant and is truly gentle with every dog she meets.

I’ve owned dogs for over 40 years. My previous Great Dane lived to be 12 years old and we rescued Beauty at 14 months. She is now 5 years old and training to be a service dog. I believe love is the number 1 thing a pet needs and Love is absolutely what I’ll give to your furry family member I’m an entrepreneur. So I work from home most days. Which is ideal If you have a pets whom needs more care or if your dog or cat is anxious or has separation anxiety. I'm a very clean and organized individual whom doesn’t mind a little bit of dog/cat hair on my clothing. But as far as the house goes, I keep it clean. Dust and clutter free. I would absolutely keep your home tidy and clean as I don’t sleep well with a mess around me.

About: I am a lover of all animals and am lucky enough to currently have two dogs and a cat! I have always been surrounded by animals- horses, dogs, cats, bunnies and currently have two young and active border collies, Bootsy and Booker that are my world and so much fun!. One thing my animals love is consistency and a regular schedule of doing things and I understand that they need that in order to feel comfortable and safe- especially while their humans are away! I am both comfortable with big dogs with lots of energy or mellow little pups who just need some cuddles. Administering medication via pill or liquid form is no problem as I have lots of experience with pet meds. Your furry friends will be in very responsible and loving hands while you are gone! I work from home and own my own candle company so I am super flexible with my schedule. I can do weekdays or weekends- even last minute is usually no problem! Long term stays are also possible. I would love to set up a Meet & Greet so I can get to know you, your animals and what you expect during my stay. Being a neat person, I will always leave your home clean and I have no problem watering plants as well. Currently, I don't offer boarding at my house, but would be happy to come to your house and stay overnight or drop in for play time while you are away- whatever your current situation calls for. I am a detail oriented person and find the little things important for pets- whether it be walking the same walk they do day in and day out, or adding just the right amount of warm chicken stock to their food. I totally get it and am happy to be there for your animals and you!

About: Residing in Newport Beach with my 90-year-old grandmother, whom I assist with daily tasks and appointments, has deepened my understanding of care and companionship, traits I bring to every interaction with your pets. My commitment to excellence, combined great communication skills to my clients and ten years of personal experiences, makes me an ideal choice for anyone seeking a dedicated, caring, and skilled caregiver for their dog. As an MBA student at UCI with classes exclusively on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, my flexible schedule allows me to integrate pet care into my routine, prioritizing their needs with care. My priority is to ensure the pets feel safe, loved, and engaged, maintaining their routine in a way that minimizes their stress and maximizes their comfort. Here’s how I achieve this: From sending adorable updates with photos and messages, sticking to their usual routines, to ensuring your home is secure and everything’s tidy, I’ve got it all covered. I’m all about the fun, —whether that’s cuddle time during a movie or getting our steps on walks I want to make sure they are happy and comfortable with me. Plus, I’m totally on board for overnight stays, making sure your pet does not feel lonely. I provide care, trust to both client and pets, companionship, and a whole lot of fun, just like they’d get at home.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of meticulous, individualized care and real experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I’m attentive to the little details that help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also love getting dogs outside for plenty of enrichment, whether that’s exploring the Back Bay, enjoying nature, going on walks, or simply having a fun adventure at their own pace. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, attentive environment and feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I work full time from home in OC, California. I have a fairly good size apartment and a large patio (almost small yard size) with access to lots of walking trails immediately behind my home. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own Juno boy. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to pet care, and safety is always my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, quirks, and comfort level so I can provide truly individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. In my home, I have a crate-trained dog and several separate rooms, along with gates that allow me to safely manage different spaces. This means I can comfortably accommodate more sensitive, shy, reactive, or simply more independent dogs who may need their own space or gradual introductions. I’m very mindful of interactions between pets and never assume that every dog wants the same level of socialization. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’m attentive to their environment, behavior, and wellbeing throughout the day. I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is not only getting plenty of love and attention, but is being cared for thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly while you’re away.

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away.

My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

About: Animals bring so much happiness to my life! I grew up on a ranch with pretty much every animal you can think of so I’m very experienced all around when it comes to the care you need for your fur babies. I am vet trustworthy, reliable, and patient. I understand that your pets are your children and will treat them as so! Trust and love go very far and are the foundation for “peace of mind” when it comes to tending to your pets. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, give medication, and bathe their pets. I have a ton of free time available due to the type of work I do. I work from home and make my own schedule so I will be able to give your pet the full attention they need and deserve (: I follow instructions very well and will double check all requirements before entering and leaving your home. I understand the anxiety that comes with inviting a stranger into your home and also with your pet. I will make sure all doors are closed all the way and locked before leaving.

Caroline was extremely communicative before we met as we were setting up our walk! We appreciated her thoughtful questions about our dogs in advance of the walk. We treated this first time as a meet and greet and walked the neighborhood together. Caroline did a nice job with both our dogs - who are big pups - and they immediately took to her! She was very observant and asked really thoughtful questions about our dogs, their tendencies, and their behaviors while we walked through the neighborhood and also was proactive and comprehensive in asking about other dogs (and owners) in our community. We're looking forward to working with Caroline in the future!

Polina is a dream come true! I needed a dog walker last minute and she responded to my request immediately and was able to come over the next day for a meet and greet. Oliver, our Frenchie, goes nuts when people come to the door, especially strangers. But Polina seemed to be a dog whisperer, as Oliver barked only a couple of times, and she immediately knelt down and snuggled him. He absolutely adored her! We spent 20 minutes chatting about his specific needs and habits during his walks, and I hired her on the spot to take him for his 30 minute walk. I received a video during the walk, and upon return, she talked with me about how the walk went and mutually agreed she would be our dog walker for all future walks. I can't find the words for how comforted I was knowing Oliver adored her and trusted her. She told me that this job (she does this full time - including pet sitting) is a dream come true for her as she is an avid animal lover but can't have animals where she lives. I highly recommend Polina to care for your pets. Don't hesitate...she's the real deal!!

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
