Animal & sandwich enthusiast

Pet care experience

I am the proud accidental owner of two adorable orange cats. My friend asked me to watch them while he went to visit his home country, in February 2020, and then got stuck in Vietnam for COVID & has been unable to come back ever since. What was supposed to be 2 weeks has turned into almost 2 years of cat sitting so I would say I’m pretty experienced! In addition to caring for my own pets growing up I’ve been watching friends and family’s animals for years. I have experience dog sitting everything from a 2 lb chihuahua to a 100 lb German Shepard/Husky mix. I’ve also watched a labradoodle with separation anxiety & have experience administering medication to animals and caring for them post surgery. Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience! I am not available to board any animals in my home, I prefer to offer drop ins & pet sitting in your home. For bookings 2+ nights I am happy to travel outside of the city. I am unable to provide single night or single visit petcare or walks outside of the greater Seattle area since the cost of gas and travel is higher. If you are out of the area but interested in booking with me please reach out, I will do everything I can to meet your needs!

Natalia was awesome with our very shy dog Oso. We could tell by all the great photos and communication that oso was in great hands. We came home to happy dog and very clean house! We can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our pup and house.

Natalia did such an amazing job taking care of our puppy and two cats while we were on vacation for a couple of weeks. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures and updates throughout the day! We came home to a super clean house and the pets all seemed happy. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!!

Safety, trust & environment

Physical & emotional safety of your animals is my number one priority. I will make sure your pets get fed on time, get adequate walks/outside time & plenty of play time and affection! I have a car and with your permission am happy to take your pets to the park, beach, hiking trail or anywhere else they might like to go! I am not available to watch pets in my own home but I am more than happy to come to you and make your vacation their vacation too!

Information Natalia U. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique! It’s important to me to know what makes your pet special, and what activities they like to do. Please let me know if they have any fears, anxieties or triggers before hand as well! Also if they need any medications, or any special care or attention. Please let me know if I will need to pick up any extra food, supplies or doggie bags as well. I can easily provide any toys or needed materials if you give me a heads up.

A typical day

I believe tailoring each day to your specific pet. For energetic, sociable dogs I would take them to the dog park, let them run around, play their favorite games, & take them home to clean off & refuel with a tasty treat. I’m also well experienced with walking and caring for older dogs. For older dogs I can tailor hip-friendly walks & make sure to administer any medication while keeping them comfortable and well cuddled. I have lots of experience with water dogs & love taking dogs to the beach to swim & play fetch in the water. Which ever activities your pet prefers I will be happy to treat them to while you’re away. In the past I have worked with dogs with separation anxiety & trauma who need extra care when their owners are away. I am well versed in calming anxious dogs, & am always patient and reassuring with my these animals. My childhood dog, Roc, was a rescued spaniel mix who had anxiety and had to take daily oral medication. My kitty Garfield also deals with anxiety and is jumpy & fearful, but has made so much progress to be more open and loving since I took over caring for him. I have a soft spot for pets who need extra love and assurance and am passionate about providing these animals the best quality of life possible. I also have two cats of my own and I love spending time playing and snuggling with them. You can be assured your animal will receive love and plenty of play, no matter the breed or species!

Availability

I am an artist with a studio in the u district area, I set my own schedule so I’m pretty flexible. I am available 7 days a week to pet sit, I can easily work around my schedule. Sometimes I may have an appointment with a client that would require me to be out of the house for some hours but I will happily clear any prior engagements with you before confirming booking. I am available to drop in and check on your pet & for overnight house/pet sitting.
