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!
