Pet care experience

A Passion for Pups!

Hi! My name is Natalie. I have been a dog lover my whole life and have had dogs as members of my family for over 15 years. Currently I share my home with one dog, a Miniature Schnauzer named Rhino who is a puppy mill survivor. He and I have welcomed foster dogs into our home and love dog visits and sleepovers with Rover.com friends. I mostly work from home so your dog will rarely ever be alone more than a few hours at a time. I live in Verona, NJ in a quiet, residential neighborhood. I am within a 10 minute drive of two dog parks (but would never take your dog there without permission). Also, we routinely go on a minimum of three daily walks for at least 20 minutes at a time. Also, I have had dogs with medical needs for many years and can administer any oral or topical medications that your pet may need. I will also ensure that your dog sticks to her or his diet to allay any possible stomach issues. The food you provide will be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled location and proper portions will be given. As well, you are free to bring over any special creature comforts, such as toys or a dog bed. Whatever your pup needs to feel relaxed and happy!

Natalie is amazing. She’s doesn’t just take care of our dog, she loves our dog. We couldn’t be happier with her.

Natalie is great! We have used her multiple times now. She is quick to respond, sends lots of pictures/videos, and is very loving. I know our dog Riggy is in good hands when he stays at her house. 🥰 🐕‍🦺🐾

Natalie was fantastic. She provided regular updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Kiki with her. Also provided pick up and drop off service which was super convenient

A typical day

I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that is super dog friendly: lots of grass, trees and neighborhood dogs to say hello to. At night and on cold, rainy days, snuggling under several blankets on the couch is our idea of a perfect evening.

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Natalie can host up to 1 pet per night
I do not have breed preferences, but my dog is very friendly so I would like to know that your dog does not have any aggressive tendencies. As well, I require dogs that are housetrained.
