Highlights
Pet care experience
Playful, responsible, dog lover!
Hi! I’m currently a graduate student at UW–Madison and looking for some pet-sitting opportunities—especially with dogs! I’ve been dog-sitting for about 6 years, primarily for friends, family, and referrals. Since moving to Madison last year, I’ve been excited to meet some new pups in the area! I grew up with Labradors and a Yorkie, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I really miss my dog back home, so I love any opportunity to spend time with furry friends here in Madison. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, or cozy couch hangouts, I’ll treat your pets like my own. Weekends are generally preferred since I have the most availability then, but I’m also open to weekday opportunities if they can work around my class schedule, especially during the summer when my schedule is a bit more flexible. I’m also relatively new to Rover and currently working on building my clientele in the Madison area, so I’d love the opportunity to provide excellent care for your pets! 🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I would prefer to watch the dog in your home as I rent my current home and it does not allow animals. However, when at your home I will make sure your pup is always happy and all of their needs are met. In terms of safety, I will always have them on a leash or in a gated area when needed.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie took exceptional care of our very energetic lab while we were away for a week on vacation. Her communication was great, she took wonderful care of our home, and our dog loved her! Will definitely book with her again!
Natalie was wonderful! This was our first time having her sit for us and she was very punctual, communicative, and respectful. We came home to happy girls. Would love to have her house sit for us again in the future ☺️
Natalie grew up having dogs and from the start has always had a natural love for animals. Through the years she has taken such great care of our own dogs. Loving every stage from puppy to an older dog. She’s responsible, gentle, and truly enjoys spending time with pets. She has patience and is reliable. I know any pet would be in great hands with her.

Schedule
My weekends are when I have the largest availability as I am a full-time graduate student. Pet sitting Thursday-Sunday or Monday is my ideal timeline but I am definitely open to week long care if I am able to make it work with my class schedule.
