Pet care experience

Loving home for while you’re away.

I have loved animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. My journey caring for pets began when I was just 10 years old, starting with dog walking and pet sitting for families in my community. That love and passion has continued throughout my life. As an adult, I have expanded my experience through animal rescue and volunteering with local shelters, giving me the opportunity to care for dogs with many different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, from small dogs like Chihuahuas to larger breeds such as Alaskan Malamutes, Labs, Beagles, Australian Shepherds, Rottweilers, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Golden doodles and many more. I truly believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I am also an avid runner and enjoy staying active, so for dogs who love adventure, I’m happy to provide daily walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Whether your pet enjoys playtime and exploring or simply relaxing and receiving lots of love, I will make sure they feel cared for and valued. I would love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into my home and provide them with the care, companionship, and attention they deserve.

We had a last minute trip come up and Natalie’s care was exactly what we needed to feel at peace. She sent photos and updates throughout our dog’s stay and gave us reassurance that she was being treated with all the love and care.

Natalie and her family took such wonderful care of our S’mores!!! Our girl is older and needs some extra care and rest- Natalie made sure she had all of her special needs met and sent us wonderful updates on all she was doing with lots of happy photos! Her communication was excellent, and when I realized our travel plans were going to be getting us in later than we expected, she was very kind and accommodating about helping us out! Great stay- great family! Thank you!!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I enjoy starting the day with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I structure my days around providing quality care, including regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make sure to follow their owner’s instructions closely and keep their schedule as familiar as possible. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to provide a safe, happy, and dependable environment for pets while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets aren’t just pets to me they’re family. I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention i would give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, calm, and family-friendly environment where they receive lots of affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special needs or preferences they have. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent so they experience as little stress as possible. I provide regular updates and pictures because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy and cared for. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My promise is to love and care for your pet like they are one of my own.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is filled with love, attention, and activities that keep them happy and comfortable. We enjoy walks, playtime, exploring the yard, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on each pet’s personality and energy level. For more playful pets, we’ll enjoy games, toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, we’ll spend time relaxing, getting belly rubs, cuddling, and enjoying a peaceful environment. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel like they are part of the family while they’re with me. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they can see their pets having a fun and happy stay.

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routine, and individual needs. Every pet is different, and knowing the details ahead of time helps me provide the best care and make them feel comfortable. Important things I like to know include their feeding schedule, exercise needs, potty routine, medications, allergies, fears or triggers, favorite toys or activities, how they interact with other pets and people, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. I also appreciate knowing any special quirks or behaviors because those little details help me understand each pet better. My goal is to make the transition as easy as possible for both the pet and their owner by providing consistent, loving care.
