Pet care experience

Cat and Dog First Aid Certified.

I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and caring for pets in NYC, providing reliable and loving care for dogs and cats of all sizes. As a pet parent myself to my 5 year old dog, Lola, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and personalized attention. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or administering medication, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my pet care to each dog's age, energy level, and specific needs. For active dogs, I'm happy to go on long walks -up to 4 miles- since I love walking! I walk my own dog almost early morning around 5:30 AM or in the evening if the morning isn't possible. In both my home and my clients' homes, I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and engaging environment. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or just ensuring they stick to their routine, I provide attentive and loving care to keep pets happy and stress-free.

Natalia has been absolutely amazing with taking care of my dog. She’s been great with communication and responding as well. She also provides me with daily updates & pictures which is a plus. I highly highly recommend Natalia :)

Natalia has been a caring dog owner since she was a child who would find and take in stray dogs, and make them part of the family. Or maybe the dogs found her, because they do seem to gravitate to her warm, fun, and friendly energy. Having raised dogs from a variety of backgrounds, Natalia understands dogs of different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. And as a thoughtful and conscientious dog owner herself, Natalia understands the needs and concerns of dog parents who are trusting someone else to care for their dog. Natalia is reliable and loving, and your dog will be very happy to have her as a new friend and caretaker!

To provide the best care for your dog, I'd love to know about their routine, habits, and personality like fears, anxieties, medical conditions, exercise needs & favorite activities or dietary restrictions.
