Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, worries, habits. Providing as much detail about your dogs regular day helps prepare for a visit.

A typical day

Having a fenced yard is a must for my dogs but so are their walks. Socializing dogs from the beginning is an important skill for both dogs and owners. If you’re pup needs help becoming confident on walks and unfamiliar areas, we will most definitely check that off.

Pet care experience

*I do not charge an additional pet rate for drop in services. If you have 1 or 11 pets the drop in rate is the same. I am a pet owner and I know pet care is important and when you start paying per pet you start losing means to have the extra help you need! It’s nerve wracking leaving your animal behind and finding someone who you trust and your dog trusts. These are our 4 legged children. An animal lover from the start, always bringing home the injured or strays since a child and this life long passion is something I never outgrew. Experienced with first aid, emergency care and can quickly notice when something is off with your pet. Excellent care and references available- foster home for non profit rescues- Medication administered as needed. Potty training available for additional fee. Boarding/Walking availability is flexible but limited ***Please note: Your dog/dogs will be the only ones boarded with my resident dogs. I do not take multiple client boardings.*** I have two med-large dogs, one is active and one would rather just lounge unless someone wants to play ball. Theres always lots of social interaction but time for them to find a warm cozy place to just snooze too.

This was my first time using Rover and could not have been happier with our choice to use Natalie. We were away for 2 full weeks and our first time needing a sitter for our new-ish dog. Our Abner did great at Natalie's house. The fenced in backyard was a huge perk and he had a lot of fun and burned off a lot of energy playing with Natalie's dogs. I received pictures and updates every day and could tell that Abner was happy, which made it that much easier for me to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be using Natalie in the future for future dog sitting needs.

Our dog loved her stay with Natalie and her family. Olivia got along with their resident pets and was treated as one of their own. Natalie was very responsive and sent lots of great pictures and videos during our trip. I would recommend her 100%.

I had a fantastic experience with Natalie. Starting from the meet and greet a few weeks prior to Luca staying with her. She kept us up to date with pictures and text messages every day. We had absolutely no reason to worry the entire time we were gone. We have every intention of using her to watch Luca next time we go out of town. She was great. I would recomend her to anyone. Thanks Natalie
