Pet care experience
Remote Worker with a Love for Pets
I've cared for big and small dogs alike since I was 8 years old! I have a fenced backyard, spend most of my time at home, and only accept pets from one household at a time. I love boarding or house sitting because I don't have any pets of my own. I take pride in understanding dog behavior and body language so I can provide the best care for your pet. I'm comfortable caring for diverse breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I would be the primary caretaker for your pets, but my husband (Andrew) sometimes helps out if the dog is comfortable with him. As a police officer, he's the best emergency contact you could ask for! You should consider booking with me if: - you want a sitter who loves each dog for their uniqueness - your dog does not get along with other dogs, cats, or children - you want someone who can be home with your pet most of the time - you are trying Rover for the first time - you are looking for someone to add to your rotation of trusted sitters I might not be the best fit if: - your pup needs to go out every 2 hours or less - you need someone who is home 24/7

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was great. We had a couple logistic challenges a the beginning, and she was very patient and flexible. Cosmo also was more high maintenance than he normally is, and she was very kind and communicative.
Natalie was great with our dog. She took great care of her. Natalie was also very responsive and gave multiple updates and pictures daily.
Natalie is such an amazing Rover sitter! My dog is very anxious and doesn’t do well in high stress environments, but Natalie was incredibly patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable. She sent frequent updates with photos and lots of videos! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Natalie was a great dog sitter who really cares for the dogs she watches. She ensured Marley received both physical and mental stimulation, plenty of attention and love, and I was able to pick him up happy and healthy! We will def use Natalie again!
Thank you so much
Awesome as always!

Schedule
Caring for animals fits naturally in my daily life. I work from home (8 AM-5 PM typically), and my errands typically last 1-4 hours. I can schedule my errands around your pet(s), or bring them with me if the weather is safe for a car ride. I'm open to walks, play time inside or outside, and sticking to your pets' normal schedule so they can feel as normal as possible while staying with me.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a safe community for walking dogs, as well as a fenced backyard. If I am running errands, I check cameras in our home (sound and video) to make sure your pup isn't overly stressed by themselves!
A typical day
I love to stimulate their brain and body! I first let them investigate all the new smells and get used to me. I don't pressure them to interact until they are comfortable. We'll take a walk or play outside to get used to each other, then come inside for a treat, likely followed by a well-deserved nap while I work. If your dog seems to miss you (as they should), I'll be sure to stop working and give them some distraction with play time, a walk, or snuggles. I also like to use lick mats and other enrichment toys to keep them occupied while working.
