I had never boarded my cat before so I was very nervous. Natalia was so sweet and communicative she really made me feel so much more at ease about leaving Leslie overnight. Natalia sent photos of Leslie and took wonderful care of her. She even had all of Leslie’s things packed and really when I came to pick Leslie up. I highly recommend Natalia!

Thank you so much Natalia. Thank you for not only taking care of Petunia, but for cleaning her teeth. I know that wasn’t easy 😂. We were so happy she had an opportunity to spend some time with you and Andrés.

Natalia was amazing and Roxie came home so happy! Natalia sent pictures of Roxie and her playmate while pet sitting. Will definitely use Natalia again in the future!

Our experience with Natalia was amazing! She provided many updates and pictures to us which helped us so much, as this was our first time leaving our pup in someone else’s hands. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best care. Highly recommend Natalia and will be using her care again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, toys, and bowls. I can administer medicine, give them baths, clean their ears and trim their nails. I have worked in at animal hospitals, farms, and rehabilitation centers for wildlife so I have a lot of experience handling animals :)

A typical day

When taking care of dogs, it's important to provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs I watch: Walking is a great way to provide dogs with exercise and mental stimulation. I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. A game of fetch with a ball or frisbee never gets old. I have squeaky toys and tug ropes

Please inform me ahead of time if your dog is shy or outgoing. Any medicine that you administer to your furry friend and his/her behavior around other dogs. It is extremely important your pets are protected against ticks, Long Island is a hot spot for ticks so please make sure your pet/pets are protected for the safety of both of us.
