Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you

Porsche was incredible!! She did a meet and greet with us before watching our dog. Which went really well and was very helpful for us. She then stayed at our house which was left really clean. She sent photos and communicated her arrival and departure as well. We will be using her again.

We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!

About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.

About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.

I'm pleased to recommend Nataliia here! I’ve left my dog Tibo with her several times, and every single one I felt completely at ease. She’s incredibly responsible and knows exactly how to behave with dogs. What I love the most is that I can trust her with my dog. I know for sure, that there’s no harshness or violence in the way she handles him. Tibo was always safe, happy, and had plenty of activities. Nataliia is amazing, if you’re looking for someone who truly cares about how your pet feels while you are away, she’s the one!
