Nurturing, premium care for dogs
Pet care experience
After more than a decade taking care of 60+ dogs, I’m confident that I can provide the utmost experience for your dog. I’ve proven time and time again I go the extra mile for them, because I truly care for their well-being and happiness. I will do all that it takes for your dog, just like I do for mine, and for the fosters I usually have. All of them get individual time, love and attention. I give constant feedback and updates. You can expect 10-30 pics and videos a day. I’m so used to taking pics and recording them, it became a hobby. I also have cameras at home to keep track of them. As I have special needs dogs and I foster, my home is all secured to prevent falls and also runaways. My main dedication is to the dogs and I do everything for them: giving meds, cooking, bathing, brushing teeth, playing, walking, and running, you name it they got it! I also have all sorts of toys and pet puzzles to make sure they will have an amazing time! Besides, l live in a spacious 2 floor 4 bedroom home in the middle of the Presidio park with trails and gorgeous hikes all around. It’s retreat for your pup, a chance to reconnect with nature, eat fresh organic food and socialize with friends. Your dog will have delicious homemade food! I have 13 years of experience cooking for dogs and I’ve done nutrition courses to deepen my knowledge of how to cook for them. You may see some of my recipes on my Instagram: hearty.dogs. I’ve cared for dogs with all sorts of conditions, both mental and physical: anxiety, aggressiveness, dementia, besides having a paralyzed and a blind dog myself. I have first aid experience and a small pet pharmacy at home. I also have 24/7 online access to a vet (who is a very close friend of mine) who can give immediate remote support if need be. Most importantly, I want to emphasize that I take care of animals out of love. I’m a volunteer in several rescues (Best Friends Animal Society, Muttville, Second Chance Rescue NY, Louie’s Legacy and Waggytail) and I help animals wherever I go. I rescued dogs in South America and in Africa, as well as I fostered and dog sitted in NY. Looking forward to being part of your pup’s life! I’m sure we will create a loving, trusting and joyful relationship.
Reviews
Natalia is an amazing sitter! She watched our two dogs for a week and made sure to continuously send us photos of their activities and responded quickly whenever we had questions about how they were doing. Our dogs are older and one has a sensitive stomach and the other has a lot of anxiety. She is very thoughtful about accommodating their needs and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Would highly recommend Natalia if you are looking for someone who is super responsible, responsive, and clearly loves and cares for dogs!
Natalia is amazing. We are very grateful for all her love and patience when caring for our dog Luna, who is shy. Natalia gives Luna delicious home cooked meals and takes her out to eat explore the outdoors.
We are so lucky to find Natalia, she is so kind and she is very knowledgeable with great experience. Izzy had amazing time , socialising, he loved spending time with Natalia and her adorable Dogs. We trusted her 100% We will be back ❤️
Natalia is so wonderful with Wall-E. I get great updates and she was very diligent about giving Wall-E his meds on time. I could not recommend Natalia more, I trust her 100%!

I live in a very safe and secluded area. My yard is unfenced but dogs only go out supervised. I have gates in the living area to prevent runaways when the door is open.

Information Natalia C. would like to know about your pet
As I have two small dogs and they do get a bit scared of bigger dogs, I prefer to welcome dogs up to 15 lbs. I’m more than happy to welcome senior and special needs. As a mom of a senior blind dog and a paralyzed one, these dogs have a special place in my heart.
A typical day
I live in the Presidio park. It’s a haven for dogs! There are so many trails, different smells, nature all around. I have many different toys but the puzzles are most dogs favorites! I hide treats in them and it’s a lot of fun for them to find it.
