About: I got my first dog when I was eight , a terror mix named gizzie ever since then I learned the responsibility of taking care of dogs , from potty training her , giving her monthly shots and even helping her deliver puppies I gained a true friend and that was just the first. I’ve had the experience to truly love and be loved by over 20 dogs in my lifetime of all different sizes. I have a flexible schedule so I can work around the one you provide , message me with a time and I will gladly let you know if I am available. I take your pets safety and comfort very seriously.

About: Pet sitting is more than just a job to me; it’s my therapy, my comfort, and a little piece of healing that comes from doing something I truly love. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet is different, and I love getting to know each of their unique personalities. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and needing a little extra patience, or older and wanting a calm companion, I do my best to meet them where they’re at. I believe in making pets feel comfortable at their own pace, sticking to their routines, and giving them plenty of affection and attention so they feel right at home, even when their family is away. 🐾 I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well.

I can’t recommend Natalie highly enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog, Blue. From the very first walk, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Blue can be a little energetic and stubborn at times, but Natalie handles him with so much patience, confidence, and kindness—it’s honestly impressive. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicates consistently, sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. It’s such a great feeling knowing that Blue is not only getting exercise, but also getting attention, affection, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with him. Natalie goes above and beyond every time—whether it’s making sure Blue has fresh water, giving him extra playtime, or just noticing little things about his behavior and keeping me informed. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in the way she treats every walk like it matters. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Natalie is the one. I’m so grateful we found her on Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
