Natalie looked after our dog Otis for about 3 weeks and he seemed to love his stay with her! She was proactive with sending us updates often and was very responsive to any questions. We also had to extend Otis' stay for an extra night and she was flexible and accommodating. We had no issues and would definitely use her again! Highly recommend!

This is the second time I’ve booked with Natalie. Her communication is exceptional and it’s very clear that she cares deeply. My dog can be complicated; she doesn’t love other dogs, and she’s big and very strong. However, I had no concerns. Natalie is confident and capable and understands how to manage her, and I’m exceedingly grateful. I highly recommend Natalie, and I will happily book with her again.

Natalie took very good care of my cat, Blue. He spent a week with her, and seemed very happy. I will be bringing him back in the future.

Chip loved Natalie! He seemed calm and relaxed in her care. We are looking forward to having her care for Chip in the future.

Natalie was an amazing pet sitter for our 10-month-old pup, Mikie! As nervous pet parents leaving him for the first time, Natalie gave us the comfort and reassurance we needed. She sent us regular updates and photos -- selfishly, you can never get enough updates/photos of how your pets are doing, but it was clear Mikie absolutely loved his stay. We felt confident knowing he was in great hands and well cared for. Aside from the early morning 7:30am pick-up (Haha!), we couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! Mikie already misses you and sends a big THANK YOU! 🐶🐾

Please let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs or conditions that would help me care for them better. I'm comfortable taking care of senior or young animals.
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.
