Safety, trust & environment

I offer limited dog boarding in my home-I will only board one dog at a time and they should be good with dogs and kids! I have a fenced yard, a VERY friendly young dog, and lots of availability for walks. Dogs can be crated if needed, and are allowed on all furniture (including the bed) to make them feel as at home as possible.

Information Natalie W. would like to know about your pet

I can walk or drop in for any kind of dog with any kind of temperament! Dogs staying in my home will need to be good with children and other dogs. I only board one dog at a time.

A typical day

I can walk your dog as long as they’ll let me-we are an active house! I can also offer them access to our fenced back yard for fetch or zoomies. Inside we can snuggle and watch TV or work on mental games like nosework!

Pet care experience

I have been volunteering with shelter dogs for almost a decade in many capacities-walking, fostering, and training. As a stay-at-home-mom with a son newly in school I’m looking to fill my days with more dog buddies! I’ve owned two senior sweeties and now a puppy, so I have lots of age range experience. I also have practice walking strong pullers and reactive dogs. I treat all dogs like my own family!

Natalie was great. She was available when we needed someone last minute. She sent a ton of pictures to make sure we knew our pup Stanley was happy and settling in. You could see how much Stanley loves her dog Betty by the many pics of them playing and just laying next to one another. I highly recommend Natalie!

Natalie has walked our previous foster dogs for the past couple of years. Some of our foster dogs have had different types of challenging behaviors and she handled them beautifully! She now walks our foster fail, beluga, regularly! Beluga loves her very much! Natalie is dog experienced and so incredible responsible! I trust her wholeheartedly!!

Natalie takes great care of our dog Lucy, whether it’s dropping in for a walk or boarding Lucy in her home. She is knowledgeable about dog care, reliable and most importantly, loves the dogs in her care like they’re her own! Lucy is always ecstatic to see Natalie and as someone who is extremely anxious about leaving their dog behind when away, I have no worries at all when she is in Natalie’s care.

I can’t recommend Natalie enough! She is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves my French bulldog (granted, he is exceptionally amazing). She’s always flexible with scheduling and makes everything so easy. I really appreciate that she uses the Rover app to track each walk—she sends daily photos, detailed updates, and even notes every potty break. It gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. One moment that really stood out was when she arrived for a walk and found that my dog had thrown up. She let me know right away, and later that day—completely on her own time and at no charge—she stopped back by to check on him because she was concerned. That level of care is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. She’s been amazing for us, and I’m so grateful to have found her!
