Hey! My name is Natalie. I'm a former federal employee (you can trust me, I passed that background check!), and just moved to Lake Oswego after a backpacking trip to start pursuing graduate school. I have a completely open schedule and would love to get back in the petsitting game. First and foremost, I 'm a huge animal lover and grew up with all kinds of pets, and ran a pet sitting and pet walking business when I was a kid. From my 12+ years of animal training experience, I am skilled in working with dogs on walking on leashes, and can make walks a more pleasant, respectful, and fun experience for both dogs and owners, no matter how big or distractable your dog is. I would love to take your dog on a hike or adventure, or a nice long walk around the neighborhood. Dogs and cats love me, and I love them back! ***Please note that I am only available for pet care for animals fully potty trained + with consistently respectful manners. I understand animals are animals, and they (and we humans) all do silly things and make mistakes. However, if you dog regularly has accidents (not due to a medical condition), or you have not worked to implement boundaries and training, such as not jumping up, not scratching/biting, and not showing signs of aggression to other pets or humans, we will not be a good fit.
