Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Lover
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s who I am. Back home in Ecuador, my two dogs, Pepper (a Jack Russell) and Pinky (a Senior Chihuahua), along with Mi Niño (my rescued cat), are truly my whole world. Being away from them now while living in Boston has only made me realize how much joy and purpose animals bring into my life. I grew up with not one, not two, but three Jack Russells, so if you know the breed, you know they’re full of energy and personality. That means I come with plenty of real, hands on experience, patience, and the ability to handle even the most active pups. I am currently a Psychology student in Boston and a Intern at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I work on the HBCD Study. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Right now, I live in an apartment in Seaport and nothing would make me happier than having the chance to care for, support, and give attention to pets who need it. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
Natalia took my 1 yr old 7lb pomeranian, ChonkE, at short notice and took such great care of her! She enjoyed her sleepover, long walks to the historic sites around Boston, and nappy naps. She also sent me pics of her adventures and downtime. I absolutely recommend her!
Got such cute pictures and Homer came home a happy pup! 🩵
Natalia was so awesome with Gunner today! She arrived early and was so communicative throughout the day, sharing photos and updates so I knew he was thriving. It means so much to be able to leave your dog with someone who cares about them and puts in the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. Thank you so much Natalia!
Natalia was super accommodating, and sent updates throughout the day. Aspen was well played and taken care of!
Natalia is a wonderful sitter who is communicative, responsible, and flexible. Our dog is quite the barker and doesn’t love everyone, but he was comfortable with Natalia right away! We are so happy to have found her and will definitely use her for future bookings.
Natalia took such great care of my dog Jack!! She was a great communicator, sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, this made me feel completely at ease while I was at work. Jack was so happy, and I knew he was in great hands. I highly recommend her!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my care, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and boundaries so I can adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of the space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors and windows are secure, follow all safety instructions carefully, and always keep a close eye on the pet to prevent any accidents or stressful situations.
A typical day
For fun activities, an absolute must for me is taking social dogs to the dog park. My apartment is right next to Sea Green (formerly Q Park), so I would happily take them there to play, run around, and socialize with other dogs.
