Pet care experience

Watching others pets for >10 years!

I've been caring for my own pets for the last 25 years, petsitting for friends and family for the last 10 years, and have been professionally caring for other's pets as a veterinary assistant for the last 6 years. In between shifts at work I routinely walk my neighbors' dogs and petsit when they are out of town. I also have experience with birds, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs! Currently i am pet sitting full time, which means plenty of open time to schedule with your pets! I do travel by bus, but am available for early morning and late night visits as feasible depending on the route. Health and safety is important to me! I make sure that each pet has a clean food and water dish, clean bedding, a clean litter box/ potty pads, and a clean enclosure or play area each time I visit. I also provide enrichment through play or training, and make sure to spend some time petting and grooming each pet as well!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow care instructions as provided by the owner. If none are provided via the app, i will ask for some to be written or added to the app prior to the booking All that being said, I'm not adverse to improvising when it comes to walks or playtime! A walk may turn into a quick jaunt through a park (on leash, of course), or an empty box might be used during a stay to provide some feline enrichment :)

Schedule

Currently I am able to care for your loved one any time and any day I am needed! I am very flexible in my scheduling, and willing to provide late night and early morning drop ins as needed. I do take the bus, so there may be occasional time constraints depending on the route taken, but I am always willing to work with you to create a schedule that fits both yours and your pets needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Natalie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
If your pet has any special needs, I am happy to accommodate them. I do need to know if your dog is reactive on-leash so I can plan appropriate walking routes and enrichment. If your pet is on a training regimen, let me know and I'll be sure to incorporate it in during my stay!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
