Highlights
Pet care experience
A Pet Sitter Who Actually Cares
Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was absolutely fantastic taking care of my dog! She provided timely updates, and precisiy followed instructions. My dog absolutely loved Natalie and looked forward to their walks and staycation times together. Natalie is such a loving and attentive pet care provider!
Natalie possesses a long history of animal care. She has cared for cats and dogs alike. She is a fun, loving, organized and effective caregiver.
I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. As a former full-time pet sitter myself, I am extremely particular about who I trust with my velcro-kitty, Penelope. Penelope is incredibly social, affectionate, mischievous, and attached to people, so I become very anxious leaving her at home when I travel. There have been multiple occasions where another sitter unexpectedly canceled, including before an important life event that I truly could not miss. Natalie immediately stepped in without hesitation, and because of her, I was able to leave knowing Penelope was not only safe, but genuinely cared for and loved. What sets Natalie apart is that she does not treat animal care like a checklist. She plays with Penelope, keeps her company, pays attention to her strange little goblin tendencies, and makes her feel comfortable and secure. Natalie even followed my ridiculous “cat TV” instructions and then spent extra time making sure the setup was secure because she knew Penelope would inevitably try to launch herself at the birds on the screen. Penelope absolutely adores her, which says everything. Natalie has an incredible work ethic, excellent judgment, and a completely genuine love of animals. I trust her wholeheartedly, which is not something I say lightly as both a former pet sitter and a nervous cat owner.
Natalie has cared for my 2 dogs on multiple occasions and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provides. She follows all instructions carefully and treats my dogs as if they were her own. My boys absolutely love her, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her care-no matter how long I’m away.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on.
