Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, caring, and dog obsessed!
I’ve been around dogs my whole life, starting with my Shih Tzu, Coco, when I was 10. I grew up taking care of her and even brought her with me to college! Taking care of her through all stages of life, especially as she got older, taught me how much patience, love, and attention dogs really need. Outside of my own dog, I’m always the go-to person for pet care in my life. I regularly take care of my family and friends’ dogs ranging from breeds like Australian Shepherds to Great Danes. During my 4 years of college I also fostered a total of 4 dogs, all different ages and breeds. Therefore, I’m used to all kinds of dogs, big, small, energetic, chill, and everything in between. I’m really good at reading their body language, respecting their space, and matching their energy so they feel comfortable with me. Since my Coco passed, I’ve honestly just poured that love into helping take care of other people’s dogs. My experience with dogs my whole life has made me comfortable and confident in handling different temperaments and routines. I will always treat every dog like they’re my own, and aim to create a safe loving environment for every pet in my care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions as I know that every dog is different and consistency matters. I’m cautious with things like doors, leash safety, feeding, and making sure they’re never left alone for too long. I also pay attention to how the dog is acting so I can tell if they need space, comfort, or attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and treat everything how I would want someone to treat mine. I will always keep things calm, clean, and give the dog lots of attention so they feel secure while their owner is away.
Ratings and reviews
I would absolutely recommend Natalia as a responsible and caring pet caregiver! She understands the responsibility and attention to detail that is required to take care of a pet. Pets have a special way of feeling people’s energy and she puts out such a warm and welcoming energy. She has cared for my giant Great Dane and ha can be a handful, and she handles him with grace. You’d be lucky to have her as your pet caregiver !

Schedule
I am flexible with my schedule and used to building my day around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care depending on what the dog needs. I’m also consistent and organized, so I can commit to regular walks or sitting each week.
