Safety, trust & environment

If I come to your home to care for your pets, I am an avid runner & am sure to get those pups out & active. I am comfortable using treats as incentive & have worked with my own dog through reactivity, so ensuring your pet feels safe is important to me! If your pet stays in my home, I live close to Gray's Lake & Waterworks Park.. making it easy for us to get out and explore. For cats that may come stay with me, we've got large windows & a cat hammock for lounging!

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup is reactive on a leash so I can be better prepared for our time outside. I do well with all breeds, I have not had issues before & being a pitbull owner, not much "scares" me!

A typical day

I have a few doggy puzzles I can bring with me to help stimulate your pup mentally while indoors, or, take them outside for as long as they would like. I love frequenting parks surrounding the metro & a hike through Browns Woods is always a great way to spend the day!

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs & cats of all kinds! I have been a solo pet owner for 8+ years & have 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 birds in my home. I am able to care for reactive dogs, diabetic cats/dogs, and know how to operate an E/Collar. I work for Rover because being around animals is a passion of mine & I am always open to helping out!

Natalie was great with my 2 dogs! She handles their energy so well and just rolls with it! She’s able to come when I need her and is always on time. We started with her as just a drop in but quickly trusted her and used her for walks and overnights.
