Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pets like they’re my own! Their safety and well-being—and the care of your home—are my top priorities. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your vacation completely worry-free.

Information Natalie C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any triggers on walks, behaviors you do not want to be reinforced (licking, jumping, barking, etc.), specific dietary restrictions, or medical concerns.

A typical day

I love dog training, walking, and grooming. If there’s something specific you’d like to work on with your pet, let me know—we can work together to reach your goals. I’m also very dedicated to pet enrichment, including scent work, busy boxes, and exercise activities. I make it a point to learn each pet’s interests and preferences so I can tailor their care and activities to what they enjoy most, creating a personalized and engaging experience for every dog and cat.

Experienced Dog Walker & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Natalie! I live in Skokie with my three dogs, three cats, a bearded dragon, and an aquatic turtle. Needless to say, I’m an animal lover and passionate about providing the best care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I began dog walking and pet sitting in 2013, and it’s been a joy ever since. I also have experience in dog grooming, kennel assisting/adoption counseling at an animal shelter, fostering cats and dogs with behavioral or health needs, and training in animal CPR as well as pet wellness and medication administration. I’m committed to creating a safe, caring, and stress-free experience for your pets. I understand how hard it is to entrust your pet to someone else, and my top priority is ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Every pet I care for is treated like one of my own.

Natalie took great care of our dog while we were out of town and gave us frequent updates. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone else.

Natalie took great care of our dog while we were traveling and even stayed an extra night when our return flight was canceled.

Natalie sent us updates and pictures daily. She even offered to stay an additional day or two if our flight didn’t make it in.
