Pet care experience
Animal lover with flexible schedule
Hello! My name is Natalie! I’m a Seattle native now living in downtown Woodinville. I decided to relaunch my Rover account after about a year for fun and to (hopefully) spend more time outside with animals - two good things! 🐶 I work from home full time and have a fairly flexible schedule, and would love to help out with your pet sitting / dog walking needs! I grew up with animals (Jack Russell terriers, cats, birds, hamsters, you name it!) and I just can’t get enough of it! I am the proud mom of my two male tabby cats, Mister Sheldon (15 years young) and Tobi (3 years old), and the aunt of the sweetest 3-legged Golden Retriever on the planet. My best friend also has a two year old golden and I like to think of her as my other niece. My husband won’t let me adopt any more animals just yet… so until then, I’m hoping to spend time with yours! I have a flexible schedule, love the outdoors, and absolutely adore animals. I’m very friendly, communicative, punctual and have experience caring for special needs pets as well as senior pets. I was a consistent dog walker Monday - Friday for a family for about a year’s duration, and have done one off dog walks for several clients as well, so I have lots of experience. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family — please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all!

Safety, trust & environment
Because I love animals so much I find myself hard to be away from them for too long when they’re around - so you can rest assured I’ll be keeping a very close eye on your furry friend.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was super great with watching our cat! She is reliable, great at giving updates, and is responsive. Our cat seemed to enjoy every visit with Natalie and we knew they were in good hands while we were away.
Natalie was so wonderful with my two older cats! I had a last minute cancelation with a friend who was originally going to watch them, so I decided to try Rover for the first time for in home sitting! Natalie followed instructions carefully, and sent updates/pics every morning! I felt very safe knowing my boys were in good hands. Four days is the longest I’ve ever been away from them, but it was a relief to know that Natalie was just around the neighborhood block, and a fellow feline owner as well! Cat owners just know how to take care of cats better, imo. My boys don’t normally like anyone, but the initial first meet & greet and I knew she was the sitter for them, you and your fur children will not be disappointed! We will most definitely be working with Natalie again in the future. (Side note: we also have a pup who didn’t stay in the house for the drop ins, but next time he will since he tore up our family member’s backyard grass >.<)
Duke had a wonderful time with Natalie so much so that he was whining to go back to her when Duke got back home. She took good care of our pet and kept giving frequent updates through the stay. Duke has fun time in public parks and at her home too. Would highly recommend Natalie. She was awesome
Natalie has consistently taken exceptional care of my 2 year old tri-pod Golden Retriever, Mallory, in the last year. Mallory is high needs and requires a lot of supervision. She suffers from phantom pain and anxiety attacks, and is on a very strict raw diet that requires timely preparation and lots of supplementation. I always feel at ease knowing her needs are met when she is in Natalie's care. I frequently receive updates on how she is doing, receive videos of them going on hikes together, and pictures of Mallory's food bowl. Natalie goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my pup, and also putting my mind at ease while I'm away. Mallory always returns to me happy and tired from a full day of fun.

Schedule
I work remotely from home, so have flexibility with my schedule. I love to go on walks daily, with or without pets, so why not have your dog join me?
