Availability
My schedule is more open than most others, and here’s why! I am fortunate enough to have a part-time job (located in Forest Grove) with shifts ranging from 3-5 hours during the day. This means, I am able to spend that much more time with your pet for boarding and house sitting bookings (time MAY VARY for Hillsboro and Beaverton bookings since I typically account for 30 minutes of drive-time before and after my work shifts). Additionally, since I started Rover this year, I have gained enough trust from a handful of clients who have requested my services on a weekly basis. Now I have regular pet check-ins (Forest Grove/Cornelius) Monday through Friday at varying times early in the day so please message me to inquire about available time slots!

About Natalie M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Over the years I have been educating myself on domesticated animal body language to better understand what they are wanting to communicate with us. For example, I pay attention to their energy levels, requests for potty breaks, when they want snacks/food, when they need space or a break, etc. I mostly cater to their basic needs however when time allows, I do like to give energetic dogs a play session and take lots of action shots to send owners. Additionally, on occasion I like to practice basic training sessions for fun since it helps with your pet’s mental stimulation. Within all of that, I am also an avid rule follower so I can assure the utmost respect and responsibility in caring for your pet while they are under my supervision.
Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet
I believe there are a lot of important factors that are crucial to know about a pet prior to taking on the responsibility of caring for them but here is a short list to highlight a few… Knowing about any medical conditions or whether they need medication administered while in my care, if they are up to date with their vaccines, what their feeding routine is, their exercise routine, their temperament, whether or not they are socialized, and knowing their general house rules (i.e. are they allowed on the couch?)
A typical day
I love keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through fun activities like hide-and-treat games and nice walks. For pups who are toy-motivated, I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war to help them burn off energy. For more laid-back dogs, I’m all about giving plenty of pets, cuddles, and attention — and of course, snapping lots of cute photos to share with you!

I'm There When You Can't Be
Pet care experience
Hi friends! Thanks for taking the opportunity to get to know me :) I am in my mid-20s and have been trained to care and tend to the basic and individual needs of dogs and cats. I work professionally within your pet's home environment and always make the safety of your pet and your peace of mind my priority. Some examples of the pet caretaking tasks are as follows: monitoring overall behaviors throughout the day like their eating habits and their potty habits. I also tend to pets' dirty laundry and washing bowls to ensure cleanliness and pet hygiene. I also provide a comfortable grooming experience (bath + nail trims only) without causing too much stress for the pet. Aside from those basic needs, I also do not shy away from rain or snow, as I am flexible with all weather conditions. For example, you will find I take necessary precautions to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during outdoor activities, depending on the day.

Reviews
Natalie is so totally amazing. Harley loves her so much. We are so thankful we found her.
Natalie did great, and the dogs loved her. She took great care of my dogs and gave me the peace of mind that they would be well taken care of. I would definitely book again.
Natalie is so amazing! She communicates so much—we know our pup was well taken care of during our trip She was even flexible when our flight got delayed. I would 100^ recommend and hope that we can book with her again 💗💗💗Thank you, Natalie💗
Natalie was amazing! Made us feel so at ease about leaving our girls behind. I could tell in the pictures she sent how much they enjoyed her...even our one that usually takes more time to warm up after her dad leaves her. Thanks again Natalie, I look forward to booking you again when the need arises.
