Even though veterinary school is busy, I always have enough time to make my pet care a built-in part of my daily and weekly routine. My days are structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, enrichment, and routine care like litter maintenance and grooming. I plan my academic schedule well ahead in advance to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care, even on busy days.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules closely, ensure fresh water is always available, and provide regular exercise, playtime, and enrichment. I’m comfortable administering medications as needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health.

Information Natalie R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about a pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and what they enjoy most. Knowing these details helps me provide safe, personalized, and stress-free care.

A typical day

I make sure pets stay happy and engaged with walks, playtime, enrichment games, and gentle training refreshers. I also prioritize cuddles, routine care, and a calm, loving environment so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care experience

As a veterinary student, I make pet care a consistent and structured part of my daily and weekly routine. With my own dog, I keep him to a balanced feeding schedule, daily exercise and enrichment, grooming, and health monitoring alongside my academic responsibilities. Because of my veterinary training, I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and prioritize preventative care and routine health checks. Managing my own dog and his minor health issues has made me very comfortable incorporating animal care into my days to ensure that my pets receive reliable, attentive care regardless of coursework or other obligations.

Natalie did a great job of taking care of my cat. It made my vacation more pleasant knowing that Lily was in good hands and receiving her care and meds as needed. Natalie was responsive, conscientious and professional. I will definitely hire her again.
