Safety, trust & environment

Apart from the usually scheduled activities such as walks and feeding times etc. I love to play with and give time and attention to pets. Cuddle bugs are especially welcome ;) I am also very aware of animal body language, and try to anticipate their needs and respect their boundaries.

Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet

It's very important for me to know if your pet has any specific needs or care requirements. Some pet parents are more structured about their pet's care and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right by you and your pet! (Ex. crate use, no-touch zones, feeding rituals, comfortability with other pets/people, etc.) For boarding and extended-stay house sitting I will request emergency vet contact information just to have in case.

A typical day

Play, play, play! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know your pets personality and what they enjoy; long walks in the park, bird stalking via the window, or just lots of belly rubs, I'm here for it all!

Responsible & Natural Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Natalie. I have always loved taking care of animals and have about 15 years of combined pet care experience. Apart from caring for my family dog, I've had the pleasure of house & pet sitting, dog walking, and reptile/amphibian feeding for a variety of friends and family. I don't have any allergies and I would love to take care of your wonderful pets! I am very responsible and attentive, and I care about making your pet care experience as stress free as possible.

Natalie is a wonderful dog sitter and my dog was super comfortable while boarding at her home. She is warm and friendly, and most importantly a real dog lover!

Natalie was very friendly, helpful, and communicative while sitting for Wally. We would definitely ask her for help again!

Natalie was wonderful with our dog Riley during her 12-day stay. She kept us updated with great communication and clearly cared for her like her own. Highly recommend!

Natalie was amazing with my cat Cora. She kept me updated, sent photos, and Cora absolutely adores her (rare)! My go-to sitter and I’m so glad I found her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
