About: Hello! I’m Natalie, and I love helping animals of all kinds get fresh air, exercise, and positive social time. With experience walking everything from high-energy puppies to mellow senior dogs, I adjust to each dog’s needs. I mainly work with small to medium breeds as well as cats and keep walks/visits calm, attentive, and fun. I’m always happy to reinforce good behavior with treats (with your permission!) and send updates so you know your babies are safe and happy. I'm currently working part time as a coffee barista so I'll have time to tend to your pets! I'll typically be available mid day most days with flexibility. When walking or visiting your fur babies, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. During walks, I make sure leashes are secure, follow your dog’s pace and preferences, and always clean up after them. After the walk, I ensure they have fresh water and send a check-in with how everything went. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention based on their comfort level. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each friend's unique personality—whether they love playtime, cuddles, or prefer their space. I also keep a close eye on behavior and send updates so you know they're safe and content. I respect your home and your pet like they’re my own.

I truly love all animals super small to super big and would love to take care of yours while you’re away! (CONTACT FOR TIMES I DO WORK 2 JOBS) book with me for amazing, and loving pet care while you’re gone! 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐾 i have to take care of 4 animals every day. it plays a large role in my everyday life with work and vacation and now college starting, but i will make it work with them no matter what i have a privacy fence around the whole yard with a gate connecting and a glass door to help keep animals from running off. the fence is also very high so dogs can’t jump over and leave.

About: I am a new pet sitter ready to help families. I understand what it is like to need someone to watch animals for vacations, day trips, or long work days. I do not have the community to watch my dog, so I want to be the community to help watch your dog. I have a 15 year old dog and a 2 year old puppy. I have seen all stages of the dog experience and I am ready to help others out. I have a hybrid job that I can have the flexibility to check in on your animal throughout the day or even work from your house for a house sit. If needed, I can rearrange my in office days to work remote to best assist you. I am committed to giving your pet what they need. I am prepared to take your dog for a walk, taking them for a car ride, or ensuring their food bowl is around. I love playful dogs and will be happy to take them outside to burn some energy as well.
About: I have experience caring for puppies as well as senior dogs and administering medications; I helped care for my family dog - Buddy (a shih tzu) who, as he grew older, had many health issues and needed multiple medications. I have some experience with training puppies and, over time have taken care of various dogs whether it be to walk, feed or care for them. I am a soon-to-be registered nurse in December and am currently working minimal hours throughout the week. I have plenty of time at the moment to provide care, walks, visits, and more for your animals. I provide safe handling of pets and am committed to your pets well-being based on your input as I understand that each pet has different needs; nobody knows your pet like you! I adapt quickly to situations and am ready to care for your animals with all the love.
About: I have been working with dogs since I was a child and I also have several years experience volunteering at animal shelters in both South Eastern Michigan and Southern California since 2010. I work 9-5 M-F from home so I'm available after all weekdays and all weekends to ensure you're stress free while away from your pup! I have a 2 year old 40 pound Catahoula who is very friendly and loves other dogs so your dog is guaranteed to stay occupied!
About: I lived with a husky and a daschound for a couple of years recently with family and it was a lot of fun and great experience. I had small dogs growing up and I love large dogs too. I am very capable, reliable, and compassionate with both dogs and cats! I have extra time this summer, with more open availability than usual. I would love to help routinely (weekly or otherwise) with anyone that leaves their pets home alone a little bit more than they would prefer ideally! I have a larger space with an extra room, so I can temporarily take in at least two animals at my place if need be.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
“Lauri is a very kind and compassion for animals is obvious. She made us feel secure in trusting her with our baby girl and our home. We look forward to continuing our services with her.”

Christian D.
“Christian understands that dogs are part of your family, and takes it to heart. He cares about them the way you want them to be. Anyone can take a dog for a walk, feed and water them, not everyone does it with the care and attention that a true dog lover does, and that's Christian.”

Rockwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chelsea was so good with our cats and chickens! She took time to play with our cats (they were shy and didn’t always want to play back, but she put in the effort!). She also was willing to go into the chicken coop to collect eggs and provide more food/water to the chickens as needed. I really appreciated her open communication with us and the photos she uploaded. Will definitely ask her to watch our pets in the future!
