About: As a proud dog owner of two family dogs, I have hands on experience caring for pets every day. Taking care of them has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have also dog sat for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely passionate about animals. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for last minute bookings, drop in visits, and walks whenever needed. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive plenty of exercise and attention, and have a clean living space. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed and monitoring their surroundings. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing dependable and loving care for each pet.

Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking.

“Tom did a great drop-in yesterday and went above and beyond for my anxious dog. He came and spent time before the visit to make sure my dog was comfortable. He’s easy to work with and was flexible when I changed the time of the drop-in. I am having him do another drop-in today and feel good that my dog is in good hands. I will definitely be using him again and glad I found him!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.

“My cat Meadow is very shy and cautious. Nathalia was very patient with her and every day Meadow became a lot less cautious. Nathalia sent me pictures of their progress. Eventually Meadow accepted Nathalia. They are friends. I love how Nathalia took such great care of my baby. This was my first time using Rover and I am so very happy with Nathalia that I would definitely use her again. Thank you Nathalia”

Great sitter. Always came on time and went above and beyond what was asked. Kept me up to date with what my cat was doing, sent pictures and played with him. The questions she asked during our meet and greet solidified her for me. Really felt she was knowledgeable and experienced. Will definitely book again when needed!
Time and time again Maya has gone above and beyond to meet her client's needs. I had an unexpected 10+ day hospital stay. I called Maya that day and she accommodated all my needs. My cats adore her. She sends videos/pics/updates. Because of Maya, my hospital stay was less stressful knowing my babies were being cared for. She's so reliable, professional and truly cares about the pets she takes on. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️
Lilian was an absolute joy to work with. My anxious staffy warmed up real quick and ended up having the least amount of stress ever while I was traveling.

I used Dillan yesterday for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. I was very hestinant at first as an owner of two other dogs ages 11 & 4 I never used a sitter to help out with my dogs, however Dillan make the process so easy and help ease my nerves about having someone care for my dogs. He answered my messages on a timely manner and even shared pictures and a cute video of my pup Dunkin playing in the yard. I would highly recommend Dillan to care for your pets. He also followed the many rules and expectations that I’ve asked of him I Look forward to using him on a regular basis. Overall 10/10 service.
Simone was so helpful and reliable! Our cats loved her from the start. She sent great pictures of our cats and we could tell they were in great hands. So grateful for her excellent ability with animals!! We hope she will be available for future drop in visits for our cats. Thank you so much!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
