Natalie came to our home to watch our pup while we were away for a wedding, and we could not have had a better experience. From the start, she was extremely communicative, responsive, and arrived right on time. As soon as we met her, her kindness and warm personality immediately stood out. She greeted our dog with so much care and even thoughtfully asked whether he was comfortable being picked up, which showed how attentive and respectful she is with animals. We instantly felt confident that she would be a great fit, and our dog confirmed it himself — he jumped right into her arms and bonded with her immediately! While we were away, Natalie sent us photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy the wedding knowing our pup was in wonderful hands. We will absolutely be hiring Natalie again when we’re back in town. If we could give her 100 stars, we absolutely would! Thank you, Natalie — you are truly the best! ⭐️🐾

About: I love dogs and have had or been around dogs my whole life. I would dog sit for neighbors while they were out of town at a young age and have always had a pup in the family growing up. I will love your pup like my own and take steps to ensure your pup is happy and healthy. Currently, i have a part time job that I adore, but need to fill in the gaps of not being full time. I am available to do check ins throughout the day and have all weekends off to provide care and support. I am an early riser, so I will be available all day for any pet services you may need. Should my current availability change, all clients will be given appropriate notice and I will do my best to continue working with clients to find a schedule that works for the both of us. I currently do have a fenced-in yard and I am within walking distance of some great walking trails and downtown Buena Vista. I also have access to a house in Fairfield that is on a 2 acre lot and has a 40 foot dog run line. Working with whatever is comfortable and convenient for you and your four legged friends, I will ensure that their time with me is filled with play and exercise.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

About: I have two small dogs who are my world. I love all types of pets, but can make room in my schedule and heart to take care of your dogs and cats. I will board dogs, but can only stop in and check on your cats. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play.

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!
