Pet care experience
I have taken care of smaller, medium, and large sized dogs since I was a child. I grew up around Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to care for their dogs overnight and daily walks. In fall 2020, I got the opportunity to foster a black Pyrenees Labrador Retriever mix with my boyfriend, and in fall 2021 we had the pleasure of fostering a white Pyrenees Labrador Retriever mix. Both fostering experiences went well and we wanted to keep both of them in the end. Our first fostered dog lived our house we rented with a large backyard and our second lives with us in our current apartment. We were able to get the same amount of outdoor activity in both homes, they only looked different. In our apartment we found ourselves taking more walks which helped with leash training and working on commands.
Reviews
I have a 4 month old Siberian husky that Natalie looked after while I was playing soccer, She took care of him at the field while I was playing and she’s AMAZING! I was able to concentrate on the game and not worry about my dog because he was in good hands, I would recommend her to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve known Natalie for many years and she is one of the most caring and responsible people I have ever met. Her love for people and animals truly shows. My family has been using her to dog-sit for years! She is always our first option because we know our dogs will have the best care and we always receive the cutest updates. It definitely makes leaving the fur babies a little bit easier and vacation that much more relaxing!
Natalie is very responsible and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for her animals. She will love your pets like her own! I highly recommend Natalie for all people who need a worry free getaway, knowing your pet is in great and loving hands!
Natalie is a wonderful dog person! She has had 2 golden retrievers while growing up and has dog sat for other peoples dogs over the years. She loves to play with dogs, walk them, feed them, whatever the 4 legged friend needs, Natalie can help with.

I currently live in an apartment with my boyfriend and our roommate. We are all dog friendly and like to have a friend’s dog over when we can. When I fostered in fall 2021, I never left the apartment with our dog unleashed. Though it is a safe neighborhood, it is important that my dog feels comfortable and safe being on a leash. Leash training also helps reinforce commands. We do have a dog friendly apartment complex with its own fenced dog park. There are also nearby parks and hikes.
Information Natalie A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog needs special care or attention I can account for. My preferred size is medium to large dogs and dogs that are crate trained. I am good with puppies and elderly dogs, but need to know if they require special treatments.
A typical day
I currently live in a dog friendly neighborhood that is great for talking walks. If your dog does well with car rides, there a nearby trails and dog parks we can go to. I also go on weekly runs and do well running with dogs if you have a hyperactive dog that needs to let out more energy. Since I live in an apartment, my priority is to give your dog as much outside activity as possible (weather permitting).

Availability
I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with you pups! I live close to my place of work and can go home for lunches. I am I am available for boarding Friday-Monday. I believe it is important to keep our dog’s routine the same so they can feel comfortable in the environment they are in. With the dogs I am responsible for, I like to be proactive with their water bowl and keeping them entertained with toys, sometimes filled with treats. I also enjoy walks when I can. The community we live in has a dog park and friendly neighborhoods to take walks/runs in.
