Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover, caring & responsible
I was born into a family and house full of spaniels, and since then, I have lived my entire life surrounded by dogs. I'm a huge spaniel lover; I've had cockers, clumbers, and springers and I'm now a happy owner of a rescued springer spaniel that was brought with me from Colombia. I've also rescued all sorts of dogs (puppies, elder, sick, pregnant) and volunteered in spaying/neutering campaigns. This allows me to feel very comfortable with almost any dog and be able to handle them properly. By having hired trainers for my own dogs, I have learned bits and pieces about training dogs (e.g., having the owner always go out first, not pulling while walking, etc.), and I'm happy to put it to use if the owner feels ok with it.

Safety, trust & environment
I always always walk a dog on a leash, make sure the doors to dog parks are securely closed, my home has only one street entrance controlled and closed at all times. Also if taking care of puppies or high-energy dogs I'll make sure to take care of anything they can chew and get hurt, not to leave food on the counters, and put a leash before opening doors. I'm a security freak.
Ratings and reviews
Natalia was great! She came to meet the pups (and us) before the first walk which made us confident to leave the dogs. Natalia communicated progress and offered to help with training on the puppy walk. And we loved getting pictures of their walk. I hope to rebook with Natalia next time!
Natalia has been the most amazing and reliable Dogwalker for our puppy Sunny! She is so caring and sweet, and she goes above and beyond, bringing her games to play and learn. Her communication is always very clear and prompt. I would recommend Natalia x1000!!
Natalia was very prompt in responding to my request. She provided great updates and pictures of my furrbaby and let me know when she had a small accident in the kennel. She was very responsive, professional and kind to my Cinnamon.
Natalia was great as always!! Really worked with York to make him feel more comfortable and kept him entertained! Also kept me updated with videos and pictures!!
Natalia was great!! She took my 7 month old rescue on short notice which was awesome!! She also worked with him on some things he has been struggling with as a rescue (i.e. separation anxiety, being scared of loud noises, etc.), which was above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her!
I've known Natalia for more than four years and she has an unparallel passion for dogs. At one time in her life, she would rescue stray dogs in the streets of of her home country and find them homes. She would do that just for her love to the animals. She is very caring and dedicated with the dogs. I would trust my pet blindly to her.

Schedule
I work 100% from home so I have plenty of time to be with your dog. I usually walk my dog for about 30 - 45 minutes in the morning, a brief 10-minute walk at noon, and another 15-minute walk at night. I can take your dog out with us, or I can easily adapt to your schedule needs.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNatalia can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, what triggers them, for example, if they are afraid of thunderstorms, lightning, or noises; if they like to escape; if they come back when called; if they tend to pull when walking. Anything that will better help me understand your dogs' personalities and needs. I'm a huge fan of spaniels and even though most are high-energy, active and at times naughty dogs I'm very familiar with the breeds so I'll be happy to take them.
