Highlights
Pet care experience
Stress-Free Trips Start with Me!
I grew up on a farm in Texas, where I had at least four dogs and six cats in the house throughout my life, plus birds, rodents, fish, and everything in between. I love working with animals! To that end, I worked at a boarding kennel throughout high school and college, before Rover existed. I now have seven years of experience with Rover and Wag in multiple cities and states. My experience in boarding kennels and with Rover has allowed me to see and handle a wide range of situations in high-stress environments while having been professionally responsible for the safety and comfort of hundreds of animals. I will always provide compassionate care for your pets, as my goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your time away, just as much as your furry and non-furry companions do with me.

Ratings and reviews
Natalie is so amazing! I rebooked her for a second time immediately during my first booking with her a month apart. She is attentive, kind, sweet, sends very helpful updates and my cat loves spending time with her. Natalie is responsive and that means the world to pet parents! I feel so happy to have found her through rover.
Natalie you did a superior job of taking care of my kittens. Jazz even came out for a photo. Thank you so much, I am thrilled we are already booked for later in Aug! Thank you so much! Karen

Schedule
As a PhD student, I have the flexibility to read and write at home, and I enjoy alleviating stress with pet care. Additionally, my husband works from home, so the house almost always has a human or two around :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety is my number one priority. A close second is providing a comfortable and fun environment. For boarding and daycare, the basement is set up for pups to relax and play, and the house is segmented by gates to secure their safety as well as protect our belongings. I provide crates for separation if necessary, particularly around feeding time or depending on the night routine. Additionally, I have a spacious, fenced backyard (our favorite part of the house!), and I will always supervise pups when outside. I pick up poop immediately and keep an eye on whether curious mouths pick up things. For the extra adventurous pups, I also have a 30ft tie-out cable for additional security. Although I have a cat in the house, she stays exclusively in the primary bedroom, and with many gates and doors in place, the likelihood of the pups encountering her is extremely low. For drop-ins, I assure you that I will follow your directions and leave your home in the same condition as when you left it originally. My reviews can attest to that :)
Pets
A typical day
Whether we're playing in the backyard or belly scratching on the couch, I can ensure your dog's needs are satisfied and that they and you can rest easy. As I have moderately active pups, they tend to follow the cues of other dogs in terms of playing with them or leaving them alone. My pups don't bark much, so the energy in the house is never intense. I am also happy to take pups on walks around the neighborhood on request.
