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.
“She is trustworthy and caring, my dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. I also really appreciated the multiple photos and detailed updates for each visit. I would 100% recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi there, for the past 7 years I have been a social worker, most recently working with at-risk youth. I love spending time with animals and am hoping to spend more time with them in my downtime. I've owned cats and dogs for the past 25 years. I currently have 2 cats: Teddy and Noggin who are both 8 years-old. I've been pet sitting for the past 11 years and enjoy the joy it brings. I am great at paying attention to detail, dependable, responsible, and on time. I am super reliable, highly responsible, very loving and patient with animals, communicate well, and know basic pet first aid. I am available any weekday evening and am available during the day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am typically close to home on the weekends and can easily fit pet sitting in then as well! I have two cats that are indoor only with balcony access. My cat, Noggin, has heart disease and I am comfortable administering pills and treats. I have cared for dogs that have been crate trained and am comfortable putting them in crates when leaving. I have also administered medicine to dogs in the form of a pill pocket or food (peanut butter/cheese).
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Hi Hannah. You are truly a cat-whisperer. Shuba is generally very shy; cat sitters we’ve used in the past never even saw her because she was hiding. We were so very pleasantly surprised by the photo of you petting Shuba. Wow and than you.”
“Did such a good job with my high maintenance boys! Also maintained really great communication and updates! Came home to very happy and well cared for fellas!”
About: Over the past 7 years I’ve lived with two dogs and two cats with occasional Forster Care for dogs. Unfortunately, I don’t have pet of my own at the moment - hence, looking to share some love when taking care of your pets! I currently work from home with a standard Monday through Friday schedule, available to provide play time or potty break practically anytime it’s needed. On weekends, we typically stay around town. No pets of my own at the moment, means all the love and care will be dedicated to your fur baby! We don’t have furniture restrictions unless you wish me to keep your pup off the furniture. Using either stairs or elevator to get outside, very flexible of the timing of potty break if specific schedule is needed.
“Darcy has been so wonderful & accommodating to my two kitties. I was out of town & she made sure my cats were well taken care of & happy. I hope to use her again in the future. Thank you, Darcy!”
“Becky did amazing with my Daisy May, she stayed even a bit over her time and my baby girl lovedd her, they played and my pup even got the zoomies! Defiantly will book with Becky again!”
“My new name for Nicole is Mrs. Cat-fabulous! I always feel confident that my cat is being well taken under Nicole's care. She gives him lots of love and attention while i'm away. Nicole has even made recommendations for my little guy. Excellent cat sitter!!!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I've watched my neighbors, family, and others' pets, making sure they are getting the top-notch care they deserve! Animals have always been a constant in my life, and I can't remember a time I didn't have any pets around. I work to build a connection with every animal I work with so that they feel comfortable until their human returns home. I've cared for pets big and small, and will always make sure owners get the updates they deserve. I am very flexible in my schedule, as I am a current college student. I have plenty of time in my day to make sure your pet is well cared for! In my home, I have a fenced-in yard with a designated dog area. I have plenty of room inside and outside so that your furry friend will feel comfortable. As for my client's home, I will make sure to understand the rules and boundaries for any animals I am caring for.

“Beth was amazing as always and extremely accommodating. Not only do the dogs love her but we adore her as well. She treats the pups as if they are her own and is extra careful of our elderly dog. As long as she is available when we go out of town, she will be our doggie care 🩵”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I’m taking a professional break and would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently taking a professional break from my career and will be available for walks and visits most weekdays when I’m not traveling or taking care of my own dog. I have a fenced in backyard where my own 80-lb doodle loves to play. I have one indoor cat who roams our home freely. I can welcome dogs into our home for daycare who are comfortable with a playmate.
“This isn't the first time we've gone out of town and entrusted Ethan with our 4 cats, and it definitely won't be the last. We always return home to calm, we'll-fed, happy cats. And while we're gone, he's fantastic about providing visit updates and pictures of our cats getting lots of attention. 10/10 would recommend! :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
We enlisted Maria to visit and provide care for our "super-senior" 16 year old cat (Tabitha), as our usual neighbor was not available. This was for an extended trip of 11 days, and we were very concerned about finding a proper caregiver. Maria did a terrific job! She followed our instructions precisely, and she had no difficulty in giving Tabitha her meds 2x/day (not an easy task). She provided pictures and an update summary from every visit. We came home from our trip to find Tabitha content and quite well. We will definitely enlist Maria for our next trip.
Lucas was GREAT!! Mishu can be shy but opened up to him fairly quickly<3. Lucas went out of his way to update me on how Mishu was doing, as well as sending me pictures of her. It was nice being able to know she was okay from afar. You can truly tell Lucas loves animals, even Mishu noticed haha. If you’re looking for a sitter for your sitter for your furry babies, i would 110% recommend Lucas.
Winnie was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She gave them tons of attention and made sure they were mentally stimulated. She also sent us thorough updates after each drop-in, which relieved a lot of our anxieties. I would definitely rehire her, and I highly recommend her if you want someone who takes care of your pets like they’re her own.
Matt is an exceptional pet sitter who has taken care of our cats several times over the years. He has gone above and beyond to make it through snowy and icy weather and check on the animals despite the hazardous conditions. He and his wife Carolina are our go-to sitters.
Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future
Miguel was great and actually managed to get my notoriously shy cat to come out and play, which my previous Rovers had not been able to do. He was very understanding and helped me out for a very long period while I was out of the country and hard to reach. I highly recommend him!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakton. On Rover:

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.
