Pet care experience

Experienced & loving dog + cat care

New to Rover, but not to pets! See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸

Safety, trust & environment

My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

Natalia was so great! She kept us updated every step of the way. We had some complications and needed to change some travel plans and Natalia was flexible and every easy to communicate with. Our pups loved her & we would happily work with her again! :)

We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter provided for our four cats while we were away. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!

Had an amazing experience with booking Natalia for a weekend pet sitting. She was exceptional at providing care and support for my senior dog as well as ensuring that communications were coming with great updates. Even with complications with power to the apt complex she provided amazing care for my dog

Schedule

Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Natalia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and needs so I can provide the best care. (Or anything you would like me to know.) Some helpful things to know include: - Feeding schedule and dietary needs - Energy level and exercise routine - Any medical needs or medications - Behavioral traits (e.g. shy, reactive, high-energy, etc.) - How they interact with other dogs/people - Routines, quirks, or anything that helps them feel comfortable For cats, I also like to know about their temperament, litter routine, and how they prefer to interact - whether they’re more independent or enjoy lots of attention. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
