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 so amazing watching Gunnar and staying at our house while we were out of town. She was so incredibly sweet and caring with him, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. Gunnar absolutely loved her and was so happy and comfortable with her! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch Gunnar!
Natalia took great care of our cat and dog, thank you very much!
Natalia took great care of our Golden Retriever and kept in touch with us with pictures and videos. She is a sweetheart and cleaned up after herself as well!
Natalia is a super affectionate and tender girl. I am very happy to have left my dog with her.
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.

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.
