About: Since the age of nine, I have been dedicated to providing exceptional care for pets through walking and sitting services. What began as a small responsibility quickly grew into a passion that has shaped my understanding of animals and their unique needs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even small exotic animals. From energetic pups requiring long, adventurous walks to senior pets needing gentle care, I’ve learned to adapt my approach to ensure each animal feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. My commitment to punctuality, reliability, and genuine affection for animals has helped me build trust with both pets and their owners. This journey has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes from forging meaningful connections with animals. My early start has not only honed my skills but also instilled in me a lifelong passion for animal care that continues to grow. I have a very flexible schedule. I just graduated in May 2023. I am looking to make this my career and intend on fully committing to this and all that goes with it. I have a variety of safe locations that I can bring animals to to maximize the activity and enjoyment of the fur baby! Depending on the animals needs, I can tailor the experience to the customers request.

About: Hi! I’m a part-time nurse and a new Rottweiler puppy mom. Life at the hospital can be intense, so spending time with dogs is my way of taking a much needed mental health break. I genuinely love caring for pups, big or small and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own.

Walking dogs and doing drop-in visits is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s a great way for me to reset, and spend time with animals. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and safe by sticking to their usual routines. On walks, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and breaks. During visits, I provide playtime, and lots of attention to help them feel happy!

Natalie B.
“I cannot say enough good words about how amazing Natalie is! I had never left my dog, Remi, with a non-family sitter before, but I had to find one for my wedding weekend. I was PETRIFIED of leaving Remi with someone else…but Natalie was so assuring and comforting and was clearly a natural around dogs! She sent me updates and pictures of how much she and Remi were having all weekend, and always promptly answered my “just checking in” texts. Because of Natalie, I was able to fully relax and enjoy my wedding weekend because I knew Remi was in such good hands! I highly encourage you to hire Natalie to watch your fur baby!”

Cardiff dog parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlyn did an awesome job taking care of my pup. She went out of her way to walk her a bit earlier than usual so my dog could get a bit more exercise in before it got too hot outside. I really appreciated that! Caitlyn also was a great communicator, responding fast over messaging and giving me daily updates. Can’t recommend Caitlyn enough!
Carole Ann went above and beyond to look after our 2 little pups and make sure they were comfortable with her. She gave me regular updates and sent photos which we greatly appreciated. She fed them and took them for walks and we could tell they were happy and well cared for when we arrived back home. We highly recommend her!
Jamie was SO helpful with my dog! He gets nervous around new people and often refuses to walk, but she was very patient and found a way to give him exercise at home by throwing the ball for him and giving him lots of love and attention. She’s reliable and amazing!
