Lifelong Animal Lover with a Corgi

Hi there! I work from home full time and share my days with my 4 year old Corgi, who’s always up for a walk and exploring new parks or neighborhoods. We typically go on 2–3 walks a day, with plenty of potty breaks in between, we mostly keep to a routine. I grew up with animals and a veterinarian dad, so providing safe, attentive, and loving care is second nature. We don’t usually visit dog parks, but we enjoy calm neighborhood strolls, longer treks on weekends, and lots of cozy time at home. Whether your pup needs a playmate, a calm companion, or just someone who truly gets dogs, I’ve got you covered! Note: while I am married and so my husband is also in my household, I am the primary pet caregiver and would take sole responsibility for caring for your pet while they are staying with me.

Natalie was great. She provided multiple updates during the day with pictures. She really spoiled Bailey, and Bailey looked very happy in her care. I truly appreciate the care provided and recommend Natalie to anyone.

Natalie is an amazing sitter, she treated Loki like family and took him on many adventures. We received many pictures and updates throughout his stay. She seriously gave us one of the best rover experience to date and I can’t wait to use her service again. 10 out of 10!!!

Yogi had such a great time with Natalie and Winry that he was still pooped the next day! We also appreciate how easy it was to work with her.

Natalie is truly the best when it comes to caring for my fur baby. She puts her whole heart into it and treats my dog as if he were her own. She’s taken care of Yeti, who can be very high energy, but I could tell he loved every moment with her—he was even looking for her the next time we went on our morning walk! I’d trust her with my pup any day.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is flexible and I try to do mainly activities she can partake in. We do a potty break/short walk early in the morning, and early afternoon and evening walks. Weekends we usually are exploring a beach, state park, or national forest trails.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very flexible to my dog’s needs, whether that’s playing fetch or chase around the house, taking it slow on our walks so she can spend more time sniffing, or just lounging around and taking it easy. We typically walk about 3 miles a day on weekdays and potentially more on weekends. If your dog needs off leash time to run and play fetch, we often go to dog friendly beach’s or off leash trails but can skip this if they aren’t good off leash. My dog is crate trained but we no longer do so, I can crate yours if they require it as long as you bring the crate.

Pets

A typical day

We are big walkers, and make sure to allow for time to sniff and explore new walking routes. We have a pretty decent routine on weekdays that we usually stick to. On weekends we tend to do at least one longer walk/hike but it just depends on my dog’s energy levels for the day, if they aren’t up for something I don’t force it. I’ll be flexible to your dog’s needs as well and we will adjust our activities to make sure everyone is having a good time and is safe and comfortable.

I can handle pretty much any request and dog, my dog on the other hand prefers small or medium sized dog breeds and dogs that aren’t too dominant or intimidating.
