Pet care experience
I’ve pet-sat and walked dogs for neighbors and friends since I was in middle school. As a future veterinary doctor and certified veterinary technician, I can provide your pet with professional care while they are staying with me. I don’t have my own dog at this time, so I’m excited for the privilege of caring for yours! I also love cats (and I have my own!), so don’t hesitate to reach out to me about pet-sitting your cat as well.
Reviews
Natalia was great! I was in town for a wedding and something came up and she took booking on short notice. She was accommodating and flexible with our schedule and my pups needs. I was unsure how my dog Cherry would do with cats, but Natalia was able to check and ended up having to keep them separated because my dog was growling. I got plenty of updates and pictures of Cherry while she was with Natalia which put my mind at ease because Cherry has never stayed overnight with people she doesn’t know. Cherry did great and was happy to see me when it was time for pickup. They also have a very nice home and property for dogs to hang out outside. I would highly recommend:)
Natalia took fantastic care of our dog while we were out of town for a few days. She was very accommodating and gave us plenty of photo/video updates. Will definitely re-book in the future!
Natalia was amazing with our dogs! She was very easy to work with, communicated well, shared lots of pictures! She was awesome!
My Cavapoo Gene had a wonderful time with Natalia! I recommend her wholeheartedly! I received a bunch of pictures. Gene, even though he does NOT like to be without me, seemed like he had a great time. I will definitely use her services in the future.

I have a large (1-acre), grassy back yard with plenty of running space. I do have my own cat, so I’m sorry, but I may not be able to take dogs who are aggressive towards cats.
Home
Information Natalia S. would like to know about your pet
I currently have a cat who loves everyone but also believes she owns the house. To make sure everyone stays safe, please let me know if your dog doesn’t do well with cats (we can keep them separated, but it's helpful to be prepared ahead of time!). I am open to caring for dogs of all types and with different needs. But please let me know if your dog has special needs or any aggressive behaviors. This will help me provide the best care and environment and avoid any unsafe situations between your dog and others.
A typical day
I love running around and playing fetch with dogs. I also love cuddling up on the couch with a dog or cat and just having some sweet time together.

Availability
I'm currently studying full-time in veterinary school. However, I do spend a lot of time studying from home, so I am around to be able to spend time with your pet and give them the care and attention they need. There may be days when I need to be out of the house for several hours at a time, so before submitting a booking request, please consider if you are okay with me crating your pet or keeping them confined for a few hours while I'm out of the house.
