Caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or just offering companionship, I love the time I spend time with animals. I prioritize making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for, whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or an overnight stay. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to meet the needs of both you and your pup, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve! I have a Golden Retriever who loves dogs and a dog park in my building so your pup will get lots of opportunity for play.

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible - feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and any special care they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels at ease, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. If staying in my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment where they can relax and enjoy plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels at home, no matter where they are!

Information Natalie C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, favorite toys or games, or anything else that will best help me care for them!

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality and favorite activities, so I tailor the fun to match their energy and interests! For active dogs, I love going on long walks, playing fetch, or having a tug-of-war session. If they enjoy mental stimulation, I incorporate treat games or basic training exercises. For more relaxed pups, there’s always plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, and leisurely strolls. No matter the activity, my goal is to keep them happy, engaged, and feeling loved while you’re away!

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy and caring sitter for your pet. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful companionship, or extra patience for senior pups. With a background in nursing, I’m attentive to details, comfortable administering medications if needed, and prepared to handle any situation with care and confidence. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and tailored care while they're under my care!

Josie had the best time with Natalie and Honey! She was so accommodating with Josie’s special needs due to separation anxiety and I could tell Josie was right at home. Natalie sent frequent updates and pictures as well. All of her communication was super prompt. Josie can’t wait to go back!

Natalie is an excellent care taker for all furry friends! She has a sweet dog that she is so patient and loving with and she is always eager for a nice walk! She is very in tune with animals and can always tell so quickly how her dog is feeling and exactly how to help him. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to care for anyone’s pet!!

Natalie is hands down the best dog walker we’ve ever had. My pup comes back EXHAUSTED but happy every time she watches him when I travel for work. I get tons of pictures, she's in constant communication, and my little dude loves seeing her. My flight was delayed and she was happy to keep him another night, which was a lifesaver. Thank you again, Natalie! It's obvious she really cares about my little guy, 10/10 experience from me, and 5/5 from my corgi, Costco.

Natalie has 2 dogs of her own and still has love leftover to give to all the dogs she meets. She is organized, hardworking, and willing to go, or walk, the distance for you and your smallest member of the family.
