Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover, Sanctuary Volunteer
I'm incredibly responsible and have a deep, lifelong love for animals. I cared for my dog for 16 years and my cat for 18, both well into their senior years. My dog recently passed, and I miss him every day. Joining Rover felt like a natural next step, as I'm not quite ready to get another dog of my own. I have hands-on experience with senior pet care, kidney disease management, and the administration of subcutaneous fluids. I also volunteer at a farm sanctuary.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm extremely responsible and will make sure your instructions are followed. I've spent over 10 years caring for animals, including 16 years with my own dog and 18 years with my cat, both of whom have since passed. Through caring for my dog, I gained hands-on experience with senior pet care, kidney disease management, and administering subcutaneous fluids. I've used Rover myself when traveling, so I know firsthand how hard it is to find the right sitter and how much trust you're placing in someone. I take that seriously. Whether I'm walking your dog, sitting in your home, or bringing them to my office, your pet's safety and comfort will be my top priority. I'm new to Rover, but happy to supply personal and professional references.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!
Natalie is an absolute gift to anyone lucky enough to have her care for their dog. She loves dogs, all dogs, with her whole heart, and it shows in everything she does. Natalie has cared for two of our dogs over the years, first Betsy and now Mabel, and she has loved them both as if they were her own. She has such a big, generous heart, and she is incredibly trustworthy and reliable…the kind of person you know you can count on, no matter what. We feel so fortunate to have her, and we recommend her without any hesitation. If you want someone who will treat your dog like family, Natalie is that person.
Natalie is so great with my dog, Norma. Norma gets so excited every time Natalie arrives. She always comes back from her walk tired and happy. I recently had Natalie stay at my house to watch Norma for the weekend while we went out of town. She made the whole experience so easy. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, and I came home to one very happy dog. I couldn't have asked for better care. Natalie is a true animal lover and treats every animal as if it were her own.

Schedule
My office is in the Arts District, so I can walk dogs in the neighborhood before/after work and on my lunch break. For pet sitting I can work remotely from your home, or bring your dog to work with me if they prefer a change of scenery.

- I want to know all about your dog. Their schedule, likes, dislikes, habits, etc. My dog was extra quirky, so I understand the weird ones.
