Home full time! 💓

Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️

Natalie was great with Harper while I was out of town. I would highly recommend her!

Natalie informed me that my dog was attacked by another dog she was sitting. Natalie notified me immediately of this and took the proper steps of notifying rover. I am so thankful for her during this process. She also made sure my baby was comfortable after the attack. I did take him to the vet due to him not wanting to be picked up or touched on his underside. Severe bruising, but no broken bones. He is on pain meds for the next 6 days. Thank you again Natalie for your help!

I loved that I was able to leave Harley with Natalie and this being Harley’s first time away from me since I got her. Natalie and I communicated the entire time on any issues or small concerns. Harley enjoyed the time there, which means a lot to me.

Natalie was awesome!! I've never left Terri with anyone but this time it was necessary and I'm grateful that Natalie was available. Her dog, Darco, was a bonus being Terri loves to make friends!

Natalie was great with Fancy! It was storming out so she improvised and went above and beyond for my pup!
