Pet Sitting Northrup

“I’m so glad we booked Sarah to watch our two cats while we were traveling for a week! It’s clear she loves animals, and she really went above and beyond in caring for ours. Communication was always super quick, she followed all the care instructions, and sent cute rover cards with lots of pictures. She even wrote a card and drew little pictures of our kitties, was very cute to come home to. We will definitely book Sarah to look after our kitties next time we go out of town!”

“Natalie is so kind, very trustworthy and open to anything you need help with while you’re gone. She asked if it was Ok to bring along her daughter which was great, our kitty really seemed to love her! She played with her on the floor and gave her lots of attention. It is not uncommon for our kitty to hide when new visitors come over but this wasn’t the case this time! It was so reassuring getting photos of our pets while we were gone too. Our 3 guinea pigs were well taken care of as well. I highly recommend Natalie and we hope to use her again, Thank you!”

About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities, I know how important trust is. I show up on time, follow routines closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an early riser, so morning walks before my workday are one of my favorite ways to start the day. I also keep my weekends flexible and am available for morning and afternoon walks. This consistency helps me provide dependable, stress-free care for both you and your pup. When caring for pets, I follow your routines closely and keep things calm and consistent. I double check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay close attention to each dogs body language with experience from Chihuahuas to great Danes, I know how to keep every pup, safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have two golden retrievers who I both love dearly. One of my dogs is blind, so I’ve developed a gentle and attentive approach to help her feel safe and confident— whether it’s at home or in unfamiliar environments. My other golden and I were a certified therapy dog team for six months, which gave me the gift of seeing the greater good that dogs can do. Whenever I’m not at home with my own dogs, I am sure to find another furry friend because there’s no such thing as too much dog time! I can help on the weekends as well as early mornings and late afternoon/evenings throughout the week! I am free for occasional visits as well as more regular visits. I have a 13 year old dog who is still pretty energetic, but also takes more time for naps. He will sometimes try to escape on walks, so I make sure to be present when we’re outside. My other dog is blind, so I take extra precautions to ensure her safety in the home/outdoor environment.

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
