Dog Lover + Dog Runner
Pet care experience
A dog lover in New York with my husband Kris and our 1.5 yr old golden retriever, Lox. I grew up with two dogs, golden retrievers, and now a Labrador/Newfoundland mix. Happy to go on long walks in the neighborhood, but we especially love to go to the dog park. About this sitter: I grew up in Southern California and always had golden retriever and lab mixes. My husband and I both work at home full time, but we take breaks between 8-10am, noon-1pm, and after 5pm to walk or hit the dog park. We LOVE being surrounded by our furry friend, Loxie, and we know she and your dog will be friends. I am confident we we can provide the most comfortable stay for your pet while you are away. Why I love dog sitting I grew up having one or two dogs and a cat most of my life. We finally got a dog in 2020 and have loved every minute with her. Our days seem to revolve around getting outside, exercising (with Lox) and lots of snuggles. Meet my pets Loxie; born March 4, 2020 - female golden retriever My experience administering medication I am happy to administer medication and have given my dogs pills by wrapping them in a treat, cheese, deli meat, etc. I am also comfortable with injections if necessary.
Reviews
Natalie was by far the best dog sitter we’ve had Charlie stay with!! She was super communicative, sent tons of pictures and videos and took him on walks and other outings. We are positive that Charlie had the time of his life playing with her puppy Loc? We felt like he was safe and happy the entire 3 days he stayed with Natalie.
Natalie is one of the kindest people I know. She is patient, positive and kind-hearted. My dog absolutely loves her! He recently stayed with Nat for a few days and when I picked him up, he had so much energy! She spoiled him with long walks, including a lunchtime walk (so kind of her to come home from work just for him!) and I am so lucky to be able to depend on her to take care of my baby!
Natalie is truly an animal-lover. She grew up in a family with many dogs and even rescued her own great dane /lab mix. She is extremely responsible, friendly, easy-going and loves my frenchie so much. She would be an excellent pet sitter/dog walker as she loves being active, playing with dogs and has plenty of experience. Natalie is a wonderful person and would be a great addition to your Rover family.
Natalie is great with my two pups--a lab and a husky. Filled with love, she engages each of my pups at their own respective paces. She runs with my husky to calm him down and cuddles with my lab. We wish she was closer to spend more time with us

A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We will walk 2-3x per day; take plenty of potty breaks, and hit the dog park before sunset. I encourage you to bring some of your dog's favorite toys so that it feels at home while with me! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will either sleep on its dog bed, or I will provide it with one. If you prefer that your dog sleep in a crate, please bring it with the dog upon arrival; although I do have 1 large crate they can use as well. Time I'll spend with your dog I would be able to take your pet for a long walk each morning, midday, and evening. Your pet will be loved and entertained during its entire stay.
