Veterinary student for hire!
Pet care experience
I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️
Reviews
Natalie has stayed with my 2 boys several times. She did a fantastic job caring for my older pup with complicated medical needs as well as balancing the activity and cuddle needs of my puppy. I love the soft spot she has for senior pets and the love she gave equally to both of my pups. I came home to 2 happy boys and a clean home. It gave me such peace of mind while I had to be out of town. Natalie is at the top of my list for dog/housesitters.
Natalie is an exceptional pet caregiver. She is reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. Every time she cares for my pets, they are happy, well-fed, and excited to see her. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets are comfortable and cared for with the utmost attention. She even goes as far as sending videos and updates and spends hours playing with the animals.
About Natalie K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.
Information Natalie K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral issues ahead of time. If your pet is highly food motivated, leaving part of a meal/small treats for me to reward them during walks or playtime has helped correct behavior.
A typical day
I love going for walks and runs, training, and playing with dogs of all ages! I enjoy exploring hiking trails or new neighborhoods and introducing dogs to new smells and experiences.

Availability
As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours!
