Availability
After spending several years in the service industry, I decided to pursue my passion for pet sitting full-time. This allows me to dedicate my schedule to providing reliable, flexible drop-in visits and walks throughout the week! For established clients, I also offer boarding services on a limited basis.

About Natalie M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When in your home, I always ensure that I am respectful and patient with your fur baby. I know a lot of pets who are protective can be standoffish at first - understandably so, with a new person in their domain! My approach is to let them come to me, so as not to overwhelm or add stress.

(Or likes to chase bicycles/vehicles) * Should be kept away from other dogs * Has separation anxiety * Is heat sensitive * Has any medical issues or stitches that are healing * Is on a medication * Has any allergies * Has a tendency to pick up or eat objects during walks or in the backyard * Likes to get into the trash * Has any fears, anxieties, or triggers * Has sensitive areas or prefers not to be touched in certain places (for example, around the neck, paws, or while putting on or removing a harness or collar) * Has any other quirks, routines, or behaviors that would be helpful for me to know.
A typical day
For dogs: sniffing walks, exercise walks (duration depending on what their needs are), running around in the grass, fetch (if that’s what they’re into!), and enrichment activities! For cats: if they are social, lots of play and snuggles. Let me know their favorite activities beforehand so I can make the visit especially enjoyable for them!

Pet care experience
Hello there! I’ve been a Rover Sitter since 2018 & have also raised a lovely beagle of my own. She lives with my parents out-of-state currently, so caring for my clients’ fur babies has been especially rewarding since I miss having my dog around every day. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies as well as dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including rescues. I understand that for them, being away from you can be stressful, so I take pride in creating a loving, patient, and reassuring environment to help them feel safe while you’re away. Every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. Before a stay or walk, I appreciate learning about your dog’s habits and preferences in addition to the standard care/feeding/exercise instructions so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. Please refer to the “requested information” section below for a complete list of things that are helpful for me to know.
