Pet care experience

Your Pup’s Favorite Vacation Auntie

One thing that sets me apart is my experience caring for senior and medically complex pets. For the last 2½ years, I cared for my own dog, Mila, through heart disease, which involved daily medications, close monitoring, frequent veterinary visits, and adapting to her changing needs as she aged. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when caring for animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I also only take one Rover client at a time, allowing me to provide personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away 🐾✨

Doggy Day Care • Jun 18, 2026

Natalia was amazing! She sent me plenty of pictures and if she had any questions she reached out! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their dog.

Natalia is so great! I appreciate her thoughtfulness/considerations for giving my dog the best care, very apparent love and appreciation for spending time with my pup, great communication and updates! I felt really confident leaving my dog in her care and I know Boone loved it too!

Natalia took great care of Chunk this weekend! Will definitely think of her next time we need a quiet place for him to stay when we’re away :)

Dog Walking • May 24, 2023

Natalia was wonderful! She took the time to meet and greet ahead of time. She was punctual, kind, and took good care of Gryffi. We certainly recommend her!

Boarding • May 09, 2023

I’m so grateful I stumbled across Natalia’s profile! This past weekend I desperately needed a sitter for my dog Boone and it seemed practically everyone was out of town/traveling. Natalia was a great communicator, flexible, and went a long way to make both me and my pup feel confident and happy that he was being taken care of super well! Thank you again Natalia and I would definitely recommend her services. ?

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently applying to nursing school and work per diem at Seattle Children’s Hospital, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care. Because my schedule varies, I’m often available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure each animal receives the attention, exercise, and consistency they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do my best to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I only accept one Rover client at a time, allowing me to provide plenty of individual attention and care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being loved and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

It really depends on the pup’s vibe! I love adapting to what makes them happiest. If your pup is energetic and adventurous, we can go on neighborhood walks, explore local parks, or even head out on dog-friendly hikes (with your permission, of course). If they’re more low-key, I’m all for cozy indoor play, enrichment toys, sunbathing by the window, or simply curling up for a lazy afternoon full of pets and chill time. Whether they’re a fetch enthusiast or a cuddle connoisseur, I’ll match their pace and make sure they feel both entertained and at ease. Every day has a little joy built in just the way dogs like it 💗

I always like to ask about: - Their daily routine (meals, walks, potty breaks, sleep) - Medical needs or allergies - Any behavior quirks (Are they nervous around strangers? Protective of food? Scared of thunder?) - What comforts them—favorite toys, words they respond to, or calming techniques that work - How they get along with other animals or people (just in case we’re out and about) Every dog has their own language and rhythm. I just want to speak it as fluently as possible.
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.
