Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal-Loving Petsitter
I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and attentive with animals. I genuinely love spending time with them; observing them, petting them, giving them massages, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Being around animals brings me a lot of joy, and dogs and cats often warm up to me quickly and love to cuddle. When I care for pets, I focus on what helps them truly thrive. That means daily walks, playtime, enrichment like snuffle games and stimulation, and plenty of affection and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure while their owners are away. I’ve had animals in my life since I was very young. My family adopted a small poodle when I was about 6 years old, and she stayed with us until she passed away recently from old age. Growing up with her taught me the importance of loyalty and caring for an animal throughout its entire life. I’ve also cared for many different kinds of animals. I worked for two weeks at an animal sanctuary helping care for rescue animals, including several rescue dogs. I’ve cat-sat for two cats for a full month in Maryland, and their owners were surprised by how quickly the cats bonded with me. I’ve also cared for reptiles like a bearded dragon, and I’m the person my family relies on whenever they need someone trustworthy to watch their pets while they’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m very attentive to animals’ body language and comfort levels, especially with cats. I approach them with patience and respect so they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I also make sure their space stays clean by refreshing water, feeding on schedule, and keeping litter boxes tidy. I treat clients’ homes with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m always happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and at ease!
Ratings and reviews
Natalia was wonderful!! My dog seemed very at ease. She was kind, adaptable and went above and beyond.
Natalia has watched my dogs many times, often for weeks at a time, and she has always done an outstanding job. I have never had to worry about their care because she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She truly loves animals, and it shows in the thoughtful attention she gives to even the smallest details. She has also taken exceptional care of my bearded dragon, which speaks to her ability to care for more than just dogs.
Natalia is truly amazing with my dog. She shas such a natural gift. The way she connects with my dog is something special. My dog absolutely adores her and feels completely at home in her care. She goes above and beyond, showing so much love, patience, and attention. My dog feels safe, happy, and loved every moment, and I can genuinely relax knowing she is in such good hands. She treats every dog like her own, and that gives me so much peace of mind. I 110% recommend Natalia she is simply the best!
Natalia is one of the most talented individuals I know when it comes to animal care. She has a natural connection with animals, along with a deep passion and commitment to their well-being. With over eight years of experience caring for animals, she brings knowledge and dedication. I cannot recommend a more trustworthy or caring person to care for your furry babies.
Natalia cared for our two 10-year-old cats for three weeks while we were away and did a fantastic job. One of our cats requires medication, and she followed all of our instructions carefully and handled his care without any issues. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while traveling. Natalia is responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her.

Schedule
I do freelance work around Charlotte, which allows me to set my own schedule and be very flexible with my time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine because I can easily plan visits, walks, or house sits throughout the day. I often have open time between projects, which makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention and care.
