Pet care experience

Gentle loving care for lonely pets

Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

Natalie is incredible! I had a bad experience with a sitter and reached out to Natalie last minute. She came and went far above and beyond with Kiki!! She sends great pictures and always sends updates. Couldn’t recommend someone more!

Natalie had been exceptional. She took such good care of my golden Kiki. Kiki has to take medicine and walk and lunch each day at noon. She has been right on time and sends lots of silly pictures while she is here. I will be asking her to return soon!

I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them.

Please tell me about the words or commands that your pet is used to hearing or seeing and how your pet is used to being lifted, held or pet. I definitely want to know any sore or delicate areas on your pet's body. Do they have any conditions, like reverse sneezing, allergies, or kneecaps that slip out of place, etc? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Do they love to chase squirrels or cats? Are they trained to walk on one side of your body while on the leash, or to stop at the curb? Will your cat be waiting at the front door to run out the moment I open it?
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.
