Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾Your dog is in good hands with me
I may be new to Rover but I’m not new to caring for your dog. As a lifelong pet owner, animal lover and proud rescue dog mom, I know that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I raised my two rescue Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mixes from the shelter, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I adapt my care to match both their personality and the routine you’ve established, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s stay will include plenty of one-on-one attention, walks to the nearby park, playtime in my fully fenced backyard, and lots of affection (including couch cuddles if they’re allowed!). I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to become someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your best friend. I want you to leave knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention that you would give them yourself.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough as a dog caregiver. She has a truly innate ability to understand and connect with dogs, combined with an exceptional level of trustworthiness, patience, and compassion. My two dogs, Bodie and Boomer, both have significant behavioral issues and are extremely selective about the people they trust. From the moment they met Natalie, they immediately connected with her in a way that was remarkable to witness. They absolutely adore her, and she became an integral part of helping them feel safe, build confidence, and begin trusting people again. Natalie is intuitive, calm, kind, patient, and genuinely loving. She has an incredible ability to understand what each dog needs and meet them exactly where they are. I trust her with every ounce of my being—not only with my dogs’ physical safety, but with their emotional well-being. Anyone fortunate enough to have Natalie care for their dog is incredibly lucky. I would trust her completely and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with the same love, patience, and care they would give them themselves.
Natalie has been incredible with my dog, Rocket. He is a very gentle dog who has anxiety and extreme noise phobia. Natalie is always very patient and loving with him. She gives me updates often with pictures and videos. He loves her like she’s family. I’m so glad I found her. She’s always my first choice for dog care. If you love your pup like a human (Rocket is my son— I pushed him out 😅) then she should be your first choice too.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your dog company. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my day. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or an extended stay, I’ll make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve—not just the basics, but plenty of love and companionship too.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to match their personality, energy level, and the routine you’ve already established. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love and attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any training cues you use so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, pet-free environment with plenty of one-on-one attention, a fully fenced backyard for supervised play, walks to the nearby park, and cozy places to relax. If your dog is allowed on furniture, they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep your home tidy, can provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind
