Home most days, will run with dogs

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and absolutely love being around these animals. I've grown to care for many dogs just as much as I care for my people friends/family, and being a caretaker means precisely just that to me. My experience includes several different overnight stays over the last 2 to 3 years, lots of walking and playing outside, and also lots of time taking care of my own pets at home for the 25 years I've been an owner. I substitute teach part-time, as well as coach lacrosse seasonally in the spring and fall, so I have most days free. Being active outdoors is a big passion of mine, and it's always more fun with a buddy, no matter what the species may be!

Natalie was great. She stayed over night and sent us 2 to 3 daily updates about Rufus along with pictures. Rufus seemed very content with all the attention he received from Natalie. We were extremely happy with Natalie and would highly recommend her for watching your pet. Rick and Amy

First of all, I think it’s so sweet that Natalie’s dad wrote her a review, it definitely made me want to hire her initially. Second of all, Natalie was absolutely AMAZING. We hired her to stay at our house for nine days to take care of our dog and our cat, and she was positively wonderful. We met beforehand I knew upon meeting her that my animals would be in great hands with her. She sent daily updates and frequent pictures. I had never left my animals for that length of time and it was such a relief knowing she was taking such great care of them. I would absolutely hire Natalie again, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I could not recommend her more highly. I know Obi and Doctor Jones miss her already!

Wookie had the best vacation with Natalie! She took him on multiple walks a day and allowed him to make himself at home by napping on their furniture. Natalie kept us updated on Wookie's stay through daily text messages and pictures! Thanks Natalie!

Natalie is my daughter and I couldn’t be more proud of her. But obviously anyone reading this might think that I am slightly biased and I am. Who wouldn’t be about their daughter. But sticking with the facts Natalie has been very very passionate about animals and kindness to animals for as long as I can remember. She’s been very active with PETA giving money even at times when she couldn’t really afford it. She is responsible, kind,and loving. Just the kind of person you’d probably like caring for your pet.

Information Natalie A. would like to know about your pet

I'm open to all breeds, but I do have cats which I separate from where doggo and I stay. Sometimes, that's still not a great fit for some doggos, so I like to communicate that upfront.

A typical day

I live right off the Platte bike path, so we can walk or run near the creek together. I'm close to a few different parks as well, and we'll spend some time there too if that's what doggo wants. There's plenty of close spots for relief just outside of my apartment, and I'm only one floor up so nice, easy access outside.
