I’m the proud owner of a Great Dane and chihuahua. I have a spacious home for your pet and all their excitement. I have gained lots of experience over the years working with different breeds of all ages. I have lots of patience and love working with animals. I have 12+ years of experience working with dogs and personally training them. I work alongside my sister Jennifer who is equally passionate about animals. Through volunteering at shelters and providing care for the pets of family and friends we have gained lots of experience. I have lots of patience and love working with animals. I love all animals and hope to be the perfect fit as a potential sitter for your furry baby. :)

Ratings and reviews
Natalie took great care of my Great Dane, Guinness, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I picked her up, Guinness was happy, relaxed, and it was obvious she had a great time. It’s always reassuring to know your dog is in good hands, and Natalie gave me that peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Thank you for taking care of Watson!
Natalie is amazing! My dog always has so much fun with her and she’s really communicative throughout the stay. She had to take my dog last minute but she’s been so flexible with me. You can tell my dog really loves going to her place!
Great pet sitter who helped us last minute. She treated our pup well!
Sooo good with my pup, I highly recommend her!!
Louie always has a great time when he stays with Natalie. She always makes sure he’s well taken care of and does a great job to communicate how the stay in going.

Schedule
When caring for pets they are under constant supervision. During your pets time with me I spend a good amount of time helping your fur baby get comfortable with me. This can be one on one playtime outside with them or just sitting inside and giving treats. During your pets time with me I do my best to give them the best experience and allow them to get comfortable so they can have fun. We have a doggy door so dogs can go in when they need. We do a lot of running around and socializing for the pups. On hot days, I sometimes set up a kiddie pool, and when it's cold or rainy, we enjoy relaxing indoors. I welcome pups as early as 6:00 AM and say goodnight around 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday and offer more flexibility Friday - Sunday. Walks can be provided if your dog is okay on a leash and comes with properly fitted gear. For puppies still learning, we help with basic training and building better social skills. I prioritize socialization and believe that having dogs around others enhances their experience. Please disclose if your dog isn't dog-friendly, as this will help ensure a positive environment for everyone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I work from home and do online school so I spend most of my time home. Your pup would be spending most of their day around me and my family. The yards are secure and we don’t leave pups home unattended. Worst case scenario if there were to be an emergency we may have to crate your pup. Please provide a local emergency contact who you entrust to take your pet in the event of any emergency. I work along side my sister Jennifer who is equally passionate as me for animals, she takes charge of grooms and helps me on weekends with caring for pups.
Pets
A typical day
I start my days around 7:00am and do my best to keep all the pups routines consistent with what they do at home. Please be sure to provide me with their feeding schedules! When caring for dogs I start everyone’s morning with a potty outside before bringing them back in for breakfast. I allow for at least 30 minutes of down time after eating before play. Then I open up the doggy door and take the pups out again making sure to monitor who poops and who doesn’t. I stay outside playing with them for a while. Then we come back in for rest where pups can recharge and relax. Pups will play for a bit before dinner time and then once everyone is fed we may do a short walk. By 10:00 usually goes to sleep.
