Lover of All Pets Big or Small!

Pet care experience

I have been raised around animals since I can remember. Our family dog would guard my crib when I was little and we developed the best of friendships. Such continues to this day! I have experience dog walking, dog sitting, caring for dogs and cats alike. My most recent experience is with a family pup. He is a Polish Hunting Dog (he actually flew with me from Poland!) who celebrated his first birthday on 3/27. This is definitely the most energetic, goofy and expressive dog I have ever encountered. I continue to discipline him when I feed him and care for him a couple of times a week. I’ve also worked with Portuguese Water Dogs - also dogs with character! There is nothing better than a tail wag or a soft purr. I can not imagine my life without four-legged friends in it. It would be my pleasure to provide the best care for your pet as I wait to adopt my fur-ever companion. I assure you, I will keep your pet entertained and probably talk its ear off whether we’re playing fetch, walking down a street or tugging at a toy. I take dog training seriously and would adhere to any discipline you’d require. I have never met a pet I didn’t love. I would be thrilled to get to know yours!

I have had weekly walks scheduled with Natalia for some time now. She comes over twice a week to walk my two boxers, who are hit or miss with new people and very high energy and they took right to her. She provides great updates about the walks and how the dogs did and is very reliable. I never had to worry if she was going to show up or not. I would recommend her to anyone looking for walks or drop ins!

Natalia took great care of our babies! Not only are they rather large like 60-90 pounds but she made sure they got their supplements and runtime:) Natalia had to worry about holiday fireworks which we all know is a crazy sketchy time for dogs but I would for sure recommend her again. Thank you Natalia for going above and beyond cleaning up accidents and washing spoons to mix the goat yogurt into their food! Looking forward to using Natalia’s services again and also the pups would love to see you :)

As mentioned before, I am ready to commit to any schedule the pet already has. I am huge when it comes to training and would love to continue when the pet is in my care as well. My vehicle is equipped with a back seat hammock as well as a bungee cord seat belt. I offer walks in town, dog park visits or hiking if the owner so desires.

Information Natalia A. would like to know about your pet

I think I have mostly been around very reactive dogs. I would definitely say I have experience with them. I don’t think there is anything that would deter me from taking care of a pet. I would love to know if the dog has any triggers/trauma to be avoided as well as if the dog is resource guarding in any way.

A typical day

I think the best way to get a dog tired is by taking them hiking or on nature walks. I think they get tired because of the physical activities but also because of the mental engagement. I can get very silly in the backyard with our pup and play fetch or tug of war and finish it off with some commands. Also, Treat dispensers are my favorite thing.
