Pet care experience

The Loft for Tails

What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the compassionate, personalized care I provide—especially for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I’m experienced in supporting aging pets with mobility issues, medication routines, and gentle, low-impact enrichment to keep them comfortable and engaged. I also understand the sensitivity required to care for sick cats, providing calm, attentive support and close monitoring for any changes in health. Alongside my enrichment-based approach—using games, puzzles, and play tailored to each pet—I maintain open communication with pet parents, offering regular updates and reassurance. I aim to be a calm, trusted presence in your pet’s life and a reliable source of peace of mind for you.

Snowy had a super time with Natale. She was great at handling his concerns about new noises and smells. He settled very quickly. We look forward to working with Natalie again soon! Thank you so much Natalie!

My puppy felt right at home with Nathalie! She did an excellent job balancing keeping cool with meeting the exercise needs of a large-breed puppy, and kept me up to date the whole time.

Ruby had such a great time with Nathalie & Alex and was so well taken care of. We received lots of updates and photos. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well. Ruby seemed very relaxed and happy under their care. Would definitely recommend

Nathalie took such amazing care of both our dogs! We really appreciated the meet and greet first, and the great communication. You can tell she and her partner really love dogs and want to make sure they are confortable and happy while with them.

Schedule

As a stay-at-home pet sitter, having my dog Sully as part of my daily routine makes the experience even more enjoyable and natural. Sully keeps me on a regular schedule with morning walks, play sessions, and quiet downtime, which also benefits the visiting pets in my care. His friendly and calm demeanor helps new animals feel at ease, creating a welcoming environment in our home. Throughout the day, I’m able to balance caring for Sully with meeting the needs of other pets, making it a smooth and rewarding routine that feels more like a lifestyle than a job.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I offer dedicated pet sitting services for both dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a clean and cozy environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Dogs enjoy regular walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of affection, while cats have quiet spaces to explore, rest, and feel at ease in their own dedicated bedroom with a large window. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, fresh water, and any special care routines needed, treating every pet like a member of the family.

Pets

A typical day

When caring for cats and dogs, I love to engage them in a variety of fun activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. For dogs, I often organize interactive play sessions like fetch, agility games, and relaxing walks on quiet trails in the Ottawa NCC trails where they can explore new scents and surroundings. I also use lick mats and bowls to provide a calming and enriching experience during feeding time. For cats, I provide plenty of enrichment with toys like feather wands, puzzle feeders, and cozy spaces for climbing and lounging. I tailor each activity to suit the pet’s personality and energy level, ensuring they feel loved, entertained, and well-cared for.

Before caring for your pets, it’s important to understand their individual personalities, preferences, and needs. For dogs, I need to know their energy levels and exercise requirements, any dietary restrictions, and specific health concerns. Cats may have different play preferences, such as whether they enjoy chasing toys, interactive play, or more quiet, independent activities. Be aware of any allergies, sensitivities, or behavioral issues they may have. Also, it’s essential to know if they have a favorite spot to relax or need specific grooming routines. Familiarizing yourself with their usual routine can help them feel more comfortable and secure. Lastly, always overview on any medical history or medications.
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.
