Lots of walks and cuddles
Pet care experience
Hi there! I love spending time outside and am very active, so will take them for lots of long walks and for playtime in the nearby park. I can brush the dogs, play games with them, and keep them company. Growing up with my dog (who is almost 14 now!), I've always been a huge dog lover. My dog was always incredibly active, so I am used to having to dedicate a lot of energy and effort into entertaining animals. I don't have the money to have one myself, so would love to look after others'. I have a Masters degree and work full-time at a think tank in downtown DC, but have flexibilities in mornings and am fully available on weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Natalie was really great-- super helpful and kept our pup entertained and active the entire weekend. She sent pictures every day and was readily available with updates. We never used Rover prior, but will definitely continue to use it in the future thanks to her.
Natalie is truly a dog lover. When we first got our dog, she was the primary caretaker, even as a young kid; walking, feeding, etc. Our dog, thankfully, is still alive and doing well and Natalie has had her down to DC to visit, coming over and tending to her and loving her just like when she was home. Natalie is also highly responsible as well as loving. She has gone through rigorous undergrad and graduate school with excellent grades, speaks a second language fluently and holds down a very prestigious job. She would be a caring and very responsible dog sitter.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Natalie in both an academic and social setting, and I am delighted to speak on behalf of her personality and professionalism. She is extremely organized and tidy, and consistently follows through with her commitments and appointments. I know that Natalie has grown up with healthy, well-kept dogs, and her love for all animals is apparent. It is with my highest regard that I recommend Natalie for any position being offered.
Natalie is a dog lover and would be a wonderful sitter or walker! She has cared for her own dog, Sophie, for many years until Natalie had to move out of the house for college. She understands that each and every dog is unique and has their own personality and habits.

Information Natalie D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the age, size, breed, and any other information (such as medical ailments, temperament, etc) prior to sitting him or her. No breed preferences.
A typical day
We're located not far from Quincy park in Arlington, which is a great space for dogs to run, play, and go on long walks. We will play tug-of-war and fetch (if they'd like), hang out on the sundeck, and get brushed and fed.
