About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have continued to have my own throughout adulthood, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also regularly dog sit for friends and family and truly enjoy making every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. While caring for your fur baby will be available to provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. 🐾❤️ I’m a dog lover and proud dog mom to two sweet pups—Rocky, my 5-lb Yorkie, and Betty, my 9-lb Cockapoo. They’re both part of the family, so I understand how important it is to I offer a loving, comfortable, and safe home where your pup will be treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Because I have two small dogs myself, my home is especially comfortable for small dogs who enjoy having furry friends around. I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and cuddles while in my care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is in a safe and caring home. 🐶❤️
About: Practical experience in caring for animals, including tasks like feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, administering medication when necessary, grooming, cleaning up after them, monitoring their health, and offering companionship, all while ensuring safety and well-being in the owner’s absence. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m pretty much open availability. Mornings, nights and overnight as needed! I have a clean, comfortable space. I have an open yard, a dog park close to my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed!
About: I’ve had 11 dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been lucky enough to raise every one of them from just days or weeks old until they reached old age. I spoiled them endlessly, but I also made sure they were well-trained, social, and comfortable around other animals, dogs, babies, and people. Growing up, my family somehow became the family that animals could count on. I’ve lost count of how many animals we’ve rescued, fostered, nurtured, and helped find loving homes for. We’ve rescued everything from a bag of kittens my mom found in a dumpster at her job, to an abandoned iguana left at our house, to a one-eared dog who literally ran up to our car while we were stopped at a red light. I know it sounds like something out of a movie, but I promise it’s all true! 😂❤️ To me, dogs and pets aren’t simply animals—they’re part of us and part of our souls. They are family members who deserve patience, respect, love, attention, and proper care. They’re incredibly pure, innocent, intelligent, funny, and full of personality, and I genuinely love taking the time to understand what makes each animal special. 🐾❤️ I’m fortunate to be able to make my own hours and choose which days I work, which means I often have more days off than someone with a traditional schedule. If I have a pet-walking booking, I can easily adjust my work schedule around it by moving my workday to another day or starting earlier or later. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and available for pets while still maintaining my full-time career. I love that I can use my extra time to give pets the attention, exercise, fresh air, and companionship they deserve. I do travel occasionally, usually about once a month or every couple of months, but I always plan ahead and will let pet parents know in advance and block off any dates I’ll be out of town. I believe every pet and every breed is different, so I care for them based on their individual personality, needs, age, and health. When I had my English Bulldog, he preferred a slower, more laid-back lifestyle. Because of his build, exercise was important, but we kept our walks slow and comfortable, and he was usually very quick when it came to using the bathroom. I currently have a 9-month-old miniature Dachshund who is the complete opposite! He loves sniffing absolutely everything, so our walks tend to be much longer. I never rush him when he’s using the bathroom or exploring because I believe walks should be enjoyable, not something a dog has to hurry through. Because we live in Florida, I’m also very mindful of the heat and strong sun and bring an umbrella for extra shade when needed. He is definitely a very spoiled baby! 😂 He has beds and blankets throughout almost every room of the house, plenty of toys, and lots of space to safely roam and play. Because Dachshunds can be prone to spinal issues, I don’t let him use stairs and carry him up and down whenever needed. He gets monthly de-shedding and grooming, dental treats, coat oils, regular checkups, and of course, an unreasonable amount of hugs and cuddles. ❤️ Overall, I believe pets deserve individualized care, patience, comfort, enrichment, and lots of love. I try to care for every animal the same way I would want someone to care for my own spoiled baby.

“Nathaly was great! She took the time during the meet and greet to get to know us and understand my dogs routine. During the visit, she followed the instructions perfectly. She took the time to care and love on my dog and made sure all his needs were met. She communicated well, gave a detailed update, and shared cute pictures. Will definitely book her again!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, and being a dog parent myself has given me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, ages, and energy levels. My oldest girl, Tokyo, is a Puerto Rican Terrier (our fancy way of saying an adorable rescue mutt from Puerto Rico!). One of my proudest accomplishments is personally training her to become my service dog, which taught me so much about patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine behavior. Our youngest, Ona, is a playful and energetic Australian Shepherd puppy who keeps us on our toes! I’ve been working on her training since she was little, and she already knows commands like sit, down, stay, leave it, and crate. Raising her has given me even more experience with puppy training, routines, and managing high-energy dogs. From energetic puppies who need plenty of playtime and mental stimulation to older dogs who appreciate a calmer pace, I understand that every pup has unique needs. Above all, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own girls. ❤️ We’re lucky to have flexible schedules! I travel throughout Florida for work, while my spouse has their own chiropractic practice. Between the two of us, we’re able to coordinate our schedules to accommodate your pet’s needs. As pet parents ourselves, we understand the importance of routines and will make sure your furry family member receives plenty of love, attention, and care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We provide a loving, supervised environment with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play and explore. We always respect each pet’s individual needs and routines. Our own pups are crate-trained, and we have security cameras throughout our home so we can check on them even when we’re away. Whether in our home or yours, we’ll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care we give our own! ❤️
About: I am a very kind and conscientious caretaker. I want to let your dog know that I'm trustworthy but in charge, and although my first concern is for their well being it is also very important to me that they are having fun. I want to get to know your dog's likes, dislikes, triggers, anything that will help me give them the best care while I am with them. I was raised by a dog loving family and my home has always been complete as long as we have dogs. I have experience with senior dogs with ailments, excited highly spirited puppies, tiny excitable breeds, large strong breeds and I feel comfortable with them all. I can make myself easily available at any time between 6am and 5pm.
About: I have worked at a dog daycare for the last 7 years and have watched friends, family, and neighbors pets including dogs, cats, and lizards. I also babysit. I am now working as a dolphin trainer and am usually only available on my days off, but the timing of my shifts does vary daily and weekly. I just moved to the area so caring for your pets will help me get to know the area better. I am a full time zoological specialist so I’m really only available on my days off or if your pet is okay on their own for a longer period of time. I am currently in an apartment so I am only able to come to clients homes, but that doesn’t mean my level of care is any less!
About: I am the proud owner of a cat named Amy, who has taught me the importance of patience and understanding the body language of animals. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, adapting to their different personalities. I make sure that each pet receives the same love and care that I give to mine, always keeping their safety and well-being as my priority. I work as a Medical Assistant from Monday to Friday until 5:00 PM, so I have full availability for evening walks and night visits during the week. Weekends are my days off and I have full availability for day care or long stays (boarding). My work in the health area makes me an extremely punctual and organized person with food and medicine schedules. As a health professional and owner of my cat Amy, safety and well-being come first for me. I am very meticulous following medical instructions or special diets. My home is a quiet and safe environment; I always make sure that all areas are clear and the doors are well closed. I will keep you informed with photos and messages so that you have the peace of mind that your pet is in professional and loving hands.
About: I've been with pets for about all my life, taking care of mine and my friends and families pets. Training a dog from less than a year old is something I've done before and willing to do it again. I'm always home full-time so I have nothing but free time to spend with the animals in my care and or time for a meet and greet. I have a fenced in area for the dogs to run and play if they'd like and as an active person I'd love to exhaust some energy with them. The home would be a nice place to have them relax and no distractions.
About: I grew up around all types of dogs, and currently have a cat that is my pride and joy, she is clicker trained, harness trained, and loves to go on sunset walks! I set my experience to 1 year because I have pet sat for neighbors over the years but not routinely, I adoreee animals and think all have their own personalities and love spending time and playing with all fur babies!!! I am a hybrid college student, attend classes once a week (Thursdays) so my schedule is pretty open, I prefer to be home at 8am and 8pm to feed and walk my cat but I am super flexible so long as you don’t mind me bringing my laptop to do some homework! :P I am a huge fan of time playtime, I will give your cat/dog a run for their money:) I will assure feeding time is don’t properly and timely.
About: I'm currently training to be a vet tech and would love to take care of your sweet babies and will keep you updated every step of the way!

I don't have any fur babies of my own so yours will be my top priority! I live in an apartment complex with a fenced in dog park and my apartment is dog friendly!
About: I’ve volunteered hundreds of hours in animals hospitals and pet spa care facilities. I’ve also worked as a kennel technician while previously studying to become a veterinarian. Now just an animal lover that can apply specific care where needed! Experience with all ages of cats and dogs. I’m currently working full time for pet care! I am available for your pets needs at many times throughout the week and can accommodate most. I grew up with dogs in screened in patio, fenced areas, and roamers.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Taft
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, we knew Milah was in great hands. She was treated with so much love, attention, and care, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We even had a little situation going on at the house where she went out her way to help us figured it out. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby behind, but knowing Milah was happy, safe, and well cared for made our trip that much more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the time, dedication, and kindness shown to her. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loving toward their pets. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Milah! ❤️🐾
I cannot thank Naya enough for always taking care of my dog, Lucy. More than that, she is also very aware of her surroundings and attentive to what’s going on. The last time she visited my house, she had noticed my indoor cats broke through a screen and were outside wondering around. She spent her own time finding my cats and then making sure they were safe inside. Again- I cannot thank her enough. She is the absolute best!
Sophia was absolutely amazing with my pet. You can genuinely tell how much she cares — she treats your pet like it’s her own. While I was away, she kept me constantly updated with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made such a difference knowing my pet was not only safe, but truly cared for. I would 100% recommend Sophia to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and loving to watch their pet.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Taft. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Taft after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.

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.
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 Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
