Safety, trust & environment

I grew up having 2 cats and 1 dog, and with all my other pet-sitting experience, I know how to care for pets in a loving and detail-oriented way. I know how important routine and comfort is to making sure each pet feels safe, and always make sure these tenants are upheld in every job I take!

Information Natalie D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog interacts with other dogs, and if there are any other special needs I should know ahead of time. I will always make sure every request is accounted for so each pet can get the best care possible!

A typical day

I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and know many amazing walking locations like the Albany Bulb, Inspiration point and so much more! I'll take your pets to dog parks and hikes in the Bays amazing Red Wood forests. I am an attentive cat care taker, and will take extra time to play with and pet your kitties to their hearts content! I'm excited to spend time with such loving animals.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Natalie Dodge, and I’m so excited to connect with fellow pet owners in my community! Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting services for friends, neighbors, and clients, including drop-in visits, long walks, feeding routines, and plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away, and I always prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In addition to pet sitting, I previously worked at a professional dog washing and grooming shop, where I gained experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. That role taught me how to read animal body language, practice safe handling techniques, and remain calm and patient in any situation. It also deepened my passion for attentive, compassionate animal care. I treat every pet as if it were my own and believe clear communication with owners is just as important as quality time with their animals. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member!

Natalie took great care of my guiena pig this past weekend. She was responsive and communicative, and was able to accommodate to a last-minute booking, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her services!

Skye and Cal loved their walks with Natalie. She was punctual, good communication, knowledgeable and sweet with the pups. We’re looking forward to the next dog walk.

Natalie was a great cat sitter for my 16 year old hairless cat. She was thoughtful, reliable, punctual, and followed instructions perfectly. The photos of him licking his chops or emerging from his blankets were so cute! Thank you so much Natalie! I plan to call you again.

Natalie takes care of my elderly dog when I am not home. She is kind and loving. She takes him on slow walks, shares treats, and understands when he needs help getting up the stairs or when he just needs a good cuddle. If you have a more active dog, she is also a great choice, because I saw what she was able to do when Hugo (my pup) was younger. She took took him for long walks, played tug-of-war and wrestled a bit just for fun. You can't go wrong if you are looking for someone to watch your pet, You can count on Natalie.
