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.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Natalia was great. She followed all instructions exactly and arrived on time.
Natalia was absolutely wonderful with Rosie, I could tell from the moment she met Rosie that she’ll be in great hands. Natalia house sitted Rosie at my apartment while I was traveling and left the place clean and tidy. She was very communicative, sent regular updates (photos and video) and made sure Rosie gets her regular walks and exercises. I will definitely book her again and can highly recommend her. She was thoughtful, very caring for Rosie and a great communicator. Rosie already misses her :)
Natalia was so great with Max! She took him on a looong walk and he is totally exhausted tonight! I appreciate her taking care of my baby! Thank youuu!
Natalia was kind and took great care of Josh for the day. She sent updates and photos, which we appreciated!
Natalia was a great dog sitter! She took amazing care of Tommy and kept us updated with pictures. She gave Tommy a lot of exercise and love! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter! Seriously no complaints!!
Natalia took exceptional care of my 13-year-old Beagle, Duster, while I was away. Duster has a tracheal condition that requires extra attention, patience, and care, and Natalia treated him exactly as I would have myself. She made sure he was comfortable, walked him 2–3 times every day, and was always attentive to his needs. What I appreciated most was her communication. She consistently sent me photos and updates throughout the day and at night, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Duster was happy and well cared for. Natalia is responsible, trustworthy, loving, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and am available all day on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am available after 4:00 PM. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find what works best for you and your pet!
Where your pet will stay
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 (Watermark Apt) 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.
