Availability
I currently am studying and go to campus in Glen Ellyn on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00am to 4:00pm. I also take virtual classes, and will have more than enough time to care for your animals working remotely. If booking me through the week- please consider I may need to step out to go to class on Monday/Wednesdays, but can come right back to your animals. Otherwise, please disregard!

I like to follow the owner's set routine for their furchild! I have had client's in the past leave me lists, schedules, and dietary/medicine needs to follow. After meeting those animals needs, I provide them with the attention they need, whether it pets or playtime! In my home, we do have two cats. They love dogs. If your dog is uncomfortable with cats, they will be separated off for the time being!

Information Natalie R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you're dog has any certain temperaments, so I know what to expect and both your pet(s) and I feel comfortable with eachother.
A typical day
I consider myself a very energetic individual, so my favorite thing to do with dogs is LOTS and LOTS of physical engagement! Playing fetch, going for runs, or lots of tug of war are my go-to. Usually, dogs walk away ready for a nap when they're done playing with me. Many people underestimate the importance of social play, meaning playfights, running together etc. It can really improve your relationship with animals, as they appreciate the constant attention and engagement. For cats, activities will look like running back and forth with a string toy until they are tired out. I am a cat momma of 2, and have mastered the art of playtime with a cat.

Pawsitively the Best Care!!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm a 22 year old pre-med student with a lifelong passion for animals. Ever since I was a kid, I have taken care of all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to curious cats, and everything in between. My love for animals has led me to be the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, where I've gained invaluable experience and countless happy memories. I have raised, trained and cared for my own animals, and will treat your animals with the same kind of love. I have volunteered at shelters, house sat, and also helped rescue! I'm extremely energetic and in my free time, I love running 5k events, or traveling to hike famous trails. This means I'll be more than happy to take your furry friends on long, enjoyable walks. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll around the block or an adventurous run, I’m here to provide the care and exercise they need. For those with more shy or sedentary pets, I can also be a laid-back sitter. As a huge bookworm and cuddler, I'm more than happy to spend quiet time giving your animals the attention and affection they deserve. Whether it’s cozying up studying with your feline friend or providing gentle companionship to a reserved pup, I'm here to ensure all pets feel loved and comfortable. Let's make your pet’s day pawsitively fantastic!

Reviews
It is not easy leaving for us to leave our dog, Achilles but Natalie was a wonderful companion for him while we were away for a week. It went so well, that we also had her come to dog-sit while we took a shorter trip. For both stays, she sent us detailed updates and photos which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to relax while we were away. She was also very respectful of our house while she stayed here. Highly recommend!
Natalie R. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Natalie was excellent! Great communication, very trustworthy, clean and tidy, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog is older and requires special care (multiple pills) and Natalie handled it no problem. We’d recommend her to anyone.
Always love my videos and pics! Thank you ❤️
