Pet care experience

Love, trust and discipline.

Since 2020, I have personally owned, fostered, rescued, or cared for more than 30 animals in my own home. At one point, I had 17 pets of my own at the same time, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Today, I have 4 dogs, which some people still consider a lot, but becoming a mom helped me realize the importance of keeping a smaller, more manageable pack. Most of my experience comes from working with rescue dogs, including dogs that were fearful, anxious, undersocialized, or simply needed structure and consistency. I am a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and regularly work with dogs on manners, leash skills, socialization, confidence building, and basic obedience. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, large breeds, small breeds, high-energy dogs, and multi-pet households. I understand that every dog is different, and I do my best to learn what makes each pet comfortable and successful. For me, pet care is more than feeding and potty breaks. I enjoy building relationships with animals, helping them feel safe, and making sure they have a positive experience while their family is away. Thank you for trusting me with your pet. I know how important they are because mine are family too. ❤️

She was phenomenal with keeping me updated and sending me the best photos. She also helped me to enrich their diets and they are already adapting so well to the new diet! I would 100% rebook with her!

Natalia was great. My cat is pretty shy and so, doesn't come out to play with new people. She was able to make him feel comfortable and eventually he let her cuddle up with him. Pinto did really well for the 2 weeks the we were away from him.

Schedule

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology and attend school remotely. Most of my day is already spent working with dogs, caring for animals, and studying behavior, so pets are a natural part of my lifestyle. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day and adjust my routine to meet the needs of the pets in my care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Natalia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
The only thing I ask for is honesty. I can help your dog better if you communicate their needs. I’m very patient, willing and caring. If your dog bites, is scared or anxious, please please, let me know.
