Highlights
Pet care experience
I care for your pets like you do
I am passionate about offering the type of pet care I would want for my own animals. In addition to helping to care for my own pets, I volunteer at the local animal shelter weekly. I’ve worked for a dog trainer and ran the daycare there, where I worked with dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and various temperaments. My focus was ensuring productive and safe play for all daycare participants. I am a runner and hiker in my free time, and I am happily able to fulfill your high-energy dog's needs. I have experience working with fearful and reactive dogs and enjoy the process of allowing animals to open-up and trust on their own terms. I have the most experience with dogs, but I have recently adopted a cat and have quickly fallen in love with caring for him! I don't discriminate and would love to check in on any animals while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to care for your pets in your home just as you do. Each animal is different and I want to make the time you’re gone as stress-free and fun as possible! I use Rover for my own pets, and i know how stressful leaving your pets with someone can be. I will provide excellent care and daily updates.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was great! Very attentive and communicative. She played with my high energy boy and snuggled my people-loving girl. She also managed to brush my persian nearly every visit-a total plus!
Natalie was so wonderful with my two kitties, going out of the way to play and even offered suggestions for a particularly difficult cat behavior I was experiencing. I will definitely be asking her to return.
Natalie was very communicative and responsive. She did a great job taking care of my two dogs and three cats. She was also great at sending me updates and photos which were much appreciated.
Natalie was very flexible about setting up times to feed and walk our dogs, as well as spending the night in our home to care for our two dogs. She also managed getting medicine into our little guy, even though he wouldn't eat one morning. The older dog got sick several times, and Natalie took charge of that, went to the store for special dog food, and cleaned up his messes. Above and beyond seems to be normal care from Natalie. Will gladly hire Natalie again and we'll feel our dogs are safe and secure with her.
Natalie did a great job with my two dogs over a few days. They seemed happy and rested when we got back from a trip.
We asked Natalie to drop in on our two cats while away for a couple of weeks. Natalie quickly assessed and understood the differing needs and habits of our two indoor/outdoor cats. From her photo updates, they clearly felt comfortable and happy with her. Upon our return after two weeks, both boys were in good health and in good spirits! Thanks!
