Availability
I recently graduated from Texas A&M and I am freelancing so I will have plenty of time for all your dog’s needs and playtime! My days usually begin at 8:30am. In my free time I do yoga/meditate, play guitar, and make art!

About Natalia M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I need to be briefed on a dog’s routine and usual behaviors before pet sitting at a client’s house. I like to have initial meetings while the owner is present to establish a relationship with the dog in a comfortable environment for them. During drop-ins and house sitting days, I am only responsible for the dog and no other individuals in the house. I am not a babysitter for clients that have not explicitly reached out to me for that reason. I am also not responsible for 24-hour surveillance of your property during house-sitting as I would be living there as if it was my house. I am always respectful of my surroundings and leave the house like I found it.
Information Natalia M. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to learn of their particular habits and behaviors. Dogs thrive with routine and deviation from that can be unsettling, especially with their person gone from the house!
A typical day
I love playing with them and giving them all the pets and affection! While walking I like letting them explore to engage their senses and stay sharp by observing and smelling their surroundings at a calm pace.

Pet care experience
I was born and raised in Houston and have been sitting for family, friends, and other clients since I was a teenager. I’m used to working with a broad spectrum of dog breeds + dogs of all ages (not a stranger to doggy diapers and suspenders). I grew up with a pug named Chestnut who passed last year and he had such a big personality and spirit, and was a big part of my childhood. He is always in my heart and when I sit for other dogs, I give them all my love and care for them to the best of my ability 🤍! I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and their body language signaling. It is important for their health, comfort, and safety.
Reviews
Natalia has taken care of my dog Paya as a sitter and as a kind friend, since 2023 when we moved to Houston. Every time I travel, Natalia keeps Paya safe and happy; I can tell by the joy it brings Paya when they are together. Natalia also has taken Paya for her regular check ups and grooming. Natalia is knowledgeable on nutrition and good health habits in general; I always feel confident that Paya is in great hands each time I travel. Natalia knows how to approach our animal friends with kindness; so she builds trust and respect.
