Highlights
Pet care experience
Your furry friends perfect companion
I have grown up with and taken care of a range of animals from reptiles, to birds, rodents, dogs, cats, farm animals and horses from around the age of 10. I have a genuine desire to make all animals lives fulfilled and happy. I have had many of my own animals all types listed above. I am well equipped at dealing with any personality your furry friend has, from the most sociable and energetic to extremely anxious animals. I have found that animals tend to trust me super easily and in a group of people animals will always find their way to me and stay with me. My own animals had a range of health issues when they got older, most notably my dog Jasper who passed away this year at the age of 12. He was a boxer which are notorious for all kinds of health problems and so I am great at administering medication to even the most stubborn or fussy animals and making sure they are on the right path to fulfilling good health. The same goes for my rescue cat Ronnie. I am a very active person who strength trains 6 times a week and goes on hikes regularly. This enables me to confidently deal with dogs who are strong on a lead and meet their active requirements. I will always ensure your animals walks are catered to their ability. Furthermore, I have experience in training animals (particularly therapy animals) through multiple work placements at counselling firms. I have been able to make the cheekiest of animals obedient whilst still maintaining a playful and loving nature.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am super hands on with animals and providing them not only with all of their needs by ensuring they are fed and have fresh water, appropriate walks depending on your dogs ability but also their social needs, I love playing with dogs until their hearts desire and I am also very good with anxious animals who require a bit more attention and work by allowing them to come to me, get my scent and know that I am safe and they are safe with me. This allows the animals to truly come out of their shell and show a beautiful side that all animals have which is their natural playful behaviour no matter their age. I have found that all animals seem to come to me when in a group of other people and trust me almost immediately, though I am definitely more patient than most and very knowledgeable when it comes to how to get these animals to trust me. With me, your animals will not be the only thing I will show respect and take care of. I will always leave a space tidy with things in place and if you require that help with just needing things put away when you come back from either a busy stressful day or a well needed night out with friends, family or partners, coming back to a tidy home is always a relief and one less thing to worry about which I am more than happy to help with.
Ratings and reviews
Natalia was great with Clover - lots of lovely photos and she seems happy and tired out from her walks.
Natalia kept in contact throughout Elsa’s stay Lovely girl very patient and took Elsa’s needs into consideration during her stay Elsa can be a fussy eater but must of felt at home as there was no problems We would definitely leave Elle in Natalia’s care again if she would be willing to have her Many thanks Natalia🙂
Natalia put us straight at ease as she was great with Milo, who was relaxed in her presence. We had a stressfree time away knowing that he was going to be well looked after. We appreciated the updates and leaving the house clean and tidy! Would highly recommend 😊
This was my first booking on rover but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be using it again. I’m sure Natalia is a lovely person and is an amazing pet sitter for dogs that will never struggle with being in an unfamiliar place. My dog went to Natalia for boarding while I was away, she was ment to have a meet and greet but due to hot weather we couldn’t make it and I asked her if she’d be fine without and if she has had dogs go without and she said it would be absolutely fine. I made sure that my dogs profile was absolutely accurate and in the toilet training I added that it was hit and miss as she has accidents due to anxiety however this is very rare. When dropping her off Natalia let me know she wouldn’t be there as she was running late however could wait until she got there or leave her with her boyfriend, due to travel time we had to leave her with her boyfriend. Within an hour Natalia had messaged me saying that my dog had a accident and was it normal, I replied saying she doesn’t have accidents at home only when anxious she reassured me that everything was fine and it can happen and she was settling in really well. The next morning Natalia messaged saying that my dog had numerous accidents, she couldn’t place a trigger and she seemed comfortable but if it doesn’t improve someone would need to collect her, there was no way for me to get back to her and was obviously concerned as to what was happening. Thankfully I found someone to collect her, when we told her someone would collect her that evening she then said that my dog didn’t seem happy, she told this person she thinks there’s something wrong as she is licking a lot, I was obviously very worried and had her at the vets asap who said she was absolutely fine and was likely due to stress. I picked Natalia due to her profile saying she has experience with anxious dogs and it said that she is good at noticing behaviour as this was my dogs first time away and I knew she’d be anxious, I didn’t see anything saying she doesn’t accept certain dogs on her profile and she didn’t ask about toilet training, I expected her to check my dogs profile before agreeing to the booking or ask about toilet training if this is something she didn’t accept. If this is your dogs first time away or you have an anxious dog I wouldn’t book this sitter at all as you really don’t know how they will act in an unusual situation. I also do believe she was kept in a separate room to the sitter for most part of the day while waiting to be collected due to the accidents as the person collecting her could hear her on the other side of the door when the sitter couldn’t hear him knock multiple times. I also received no photo/video from 7pm drop off to 6pm collect. Rover themselves have been brilliant in ensuring my dog was safe and refund wise.
Great sitter. Rocco had a lovely time, lots of updates & pictures!
She is so adorable and sweet she took good care of diva and kept me posted!
