Natalie has watched my old dog several times over the course of us knowing one another. She is extremely patient with him when he is moving slow as old dogs do, but she plays with him at the perfect pace, keeping him engaged and entertained. She is on top of giving medication when it needs to be given and making sure that he always has water and a comfy spot to lay down. If I could, I would keep Natalie as a my own personal private dog sitter. Can't say enough good things!
