Pet care experience

Trustworthy Care, Every Time

I’ve had pets my entire life, and for the last 7 years, caring for dogs has been a constant part of my daily routine. While I don’t have formal animal training, I’ve raised and cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. My background working with young children taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to create a calm, safe environment — all of which I bring to every walk and visit. I treat each pet like my own and pay close attention to their unique needs and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet companionship, or a little extra care, I’m here to help.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m visiting your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar experience. I stick closely to your routines and instructions—feeding, playtime, walks, or just quiet company—whatever helps your pet feel most comfortable. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to make sure they’re feeling their best. I believe in gentle care, clear communication, and treating every animal like they’re part of the family.

Natalie was awesome! She continuously kept in contact amd updated me on each check in. My dog is a very high energy dog and she was able to care for him. Her service was professional and awesome!

Natalie did great with my two fur babies- Duke and Jax! She was quick to respond, punctual, and followed all instructions perfectly. Thank you Natalie, I’ll definitely rebook again soon :)

Natalie did an amazing job dropping in to visit our pups every day while we were out of town for a week. We will definitely book with her again and recommend her highly.

Natalie did drop in visits with my dogs for the weekend and was great! She sent me lots of updates/pictures and communicated very well. She got along really well with my hyper goldendoodle and also ensured my senior giant schnauzer received his medications and plenty of pets. I didn’t have any concerns while I was away and would definitely book again in the future!

I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for early morning and evening walks, as well as weekends. If your pet needs a little extra attention before or after your workday—or reliable care over the weekend—I’ve got you covered.

I always want to know what makes your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable. It’s helpful to know their routine, energy level, any medical needs, triggers (like other dogs, loud noises, etc.), and how they typically respond to new people. I also like to know if they’re crate trained, how they do on a leash, and any commands or cues you use regularly. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them like you would.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
