Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover recent grad :)
I'm an animal-loving recent grad from UW-Madison, born and raised in the Midwest. I work 8–4 in behavioral health and spend my free time around animals whenever I can. I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs, they've always been part of my family growing up. I've cared for senior dogs, including giving shots, daily oral medication, and following specific feeding schedules and exercise routines. I also regularly watch high energy large dogs as well as smaller dogs. I always try to mimic each pet's normal routine so they don't feel like they're with someone new, my goal is for them to feel like they're just having a normal day, with maybe a little extra fun!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and routine come first, whether I'm in my own home or yours. I keep feeding schedules, medications, and habits consistent so pets feel secure. I'm experienced with oral, topical, and syringe medication, chronic conditions like arthritis and hyperthyroidism, and keeping escape prone pets safely inside. I also respect each pet's boundaries, aiming to help them feel as comfortable as they would with their own owner! :)
Ratings and reviews
Natalie is responsible and will take great care of your furry family members. She has loved our cats and dog like her own and takes amazing care of them when we can't. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caregiver for their pet!
Natalie is an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn't ask for someone better to care for Murphy. She has watched him for us many times, and we always go away knowing he is in great hands. Natalie goes above and beyond to keep Murphy entertained, well-exercised, and showered with attention. It’s clear how much she truly cares for him, and Murphy is always genuinely thrilled to see her. If you are looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and loving sitter for your pet, we can't recommend Natalie enough!

Schedule
I work in behavioral health care with a schedule of 8–4, and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to do midday check-ins on your pets if needed! I'm also available to stay for longer periods at your home to provide care. During the week, I can stop by before or after work, and I'm flexible anytime on weekends.
