Loving and Energetic Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Natalie, and my husband, Teddy, and I live in a cozy home in downtown Birmingham with a spacious, shaded, and fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for safe and fun outdoor play. We’re both graduate students at UAB and lifelong dog lovers, having grown up with and cared for dogs our entire lives. Our sweet dog, Mango, is a four-year-old border collie mix who is incredibly friendly, well-socialized, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our vet even calls her their favorite—she’s just that lovable! Whether your dog is a playful pup or a senior in need of extra love and care, we’re here to provide a warm, welcoming, and attentive environment where they’ll feel right at home. Book with us today!

Natalie is a truly exceptional pet owner and animal lover. She has raised a happy, healthy, and incredibly well-behaved 4-year-old border collie named Mango, who is a testament to Natalie’s dedication, patience, and care. Whether it’s daily walks, mental stimulation through games and training, or simply offering comfort and affection, Natalie goes above and beyond to ensure Mango’s physical and emotional needs are met. She’s attentive to every detail—diet, exercise, routines—and always treats animals with the respect and love they deserve. Natalie has a calm, confident presence that pets naturally respond to, and she brings both warmth and responsibility to any caregiving role. Without a doubt, she would be an outstanding addition to the Rover community. I would trust her with any pet, any time.

Information Natalie & Teddy D. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, we’d love to know a few key things about your pet before their stay. This includes: - Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications - Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions Your pet’s temperament and energy level - How they typically interact with other dogs and people - Any behavioral concerns (e.g., separation anxiety, chewing, barking) - Crate training or potty training status - Favorite toys, activities, or routines that make them feel at home The more we know, the better we can tailor our care to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away!

A typical day

A typical day with us includes plenty of playtime, attention, and love! We start the day with a morning potty break and a walk or some outdoor time in our fenced-in backyard. Throughout the day, your pup will enjoy regular potty breaks, play sessions with Mango (if they’re comfortable), and lots of snuggles and affection. If your dog enjoys walks, we’ll take them on safe neighborhood strolls or short adventures nearby. We stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding times, naps, and any special care instructions. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or just lounging by our side, we’ll make sure they feel happy, engaged, and at home throughout the day.

Availability

Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine! I work part-time from home most days, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. My husband and I are able to stay flexible and accommodate your dog’s needs. I work close from home, so even on days we’re out, we can easily stop by during the day to check in or let your pup out.
