Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two very easygoing cats of my own who have grown up with cats and dogs in their own foster homes prior to me adopting them. I've spent time volunteering at multiple Humane Societies across the country, and feel comfortable taking care of pets in their homes and familiar surroundings. I have a lot of love to give, and I'm more than excited to help share that love with pets in the Houston area.

Natalie did a great job communicating, she’s completely comfortable asking questions to better understand how to care for animals. Only feedback is. Other rover people send more pictures which we love.

We were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and we were so sad to leave our precious Cleo for that long! But we felt so much more at ease knowing she was in such great hands with Natalie. It was great to receive adorable photos of Cleo playing and showing off her personality. It was clear that she felt completely comfortable with Natalie, which was so reassuring for us while we were away. Natalie is a wonderful communicator, kept us updated throughout our trip, and is so great with our fur baby. Knowing Cleo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our honeymoon. We’re so grateful to Natalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!

Natalie was fantastic! She came over before watching my large pup to meet him and make sure they were a good fit! She is flexible, kind, and a fantastic communicator! Would recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter :)

I want to take the time to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. If you have special needs or wants for your pet, please let me know!
