Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Natalie! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience raising, training, and caring for pups of all ages. I recently moved from New York City to Alameda and am now offering in-home overnight stays so your dog can stay happy, relaxed, and safe in the comfort of their own space. I know how important routine is—especially for dogs who thrive on familiarity. That’s why I specialize in overnight stays in your home, providing consistent care, companionship, and calm energy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a snuggle buddy, help sticking to their training, or just someone to keep their bedtime routine on track, I’m here to help. 🐾 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments 🏡 Former NYC foster for Louie’s Animal Rescue—experienced with puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs 🦴 Comfortable administering meds, reinforcing commands, and following detailed care routines 📸 Expect daily updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away Your dog deserves to feel safe and loved while you’re gone—and I’d be honored to provide that care. Let’s connect and talk about what makes your pup happiest!
Reviews
Natalie D. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.

Natalie was great with our pup Mulan from the get go. She was engaging and affectionate with Mulan who warmed up to her immediately despite it being their first time together. She was curious and asked great questions about Mulan’s habits, and also sent regular updates to us, which we appreciated. We were so grateful to be able to leave Mulan in her excellent care.

Natalie was excellent! Very attentive and loving for my 11 week puppy. Super communicative — Kept me routinely updated on behavior and updates. Very respectful of my preferences and offered great guidance. Would absolutely recommend and ask her to puppy / dog sit again.

Natalie is wonderful. Our dog is shy with new people and can be challenging to deal with at home (she chews on everything!) but Natalie took the time for her to get comfortable and dealt with her behavioral issues like a pro. She really went above and beyond, picking up some new enrichment toys and teaching our puppy new tricks! Communication was excellent. We would definitely book Natalie again.

I would absolutely love to host more dogs and give them the love and care they deserve while you’re away. In my own home, dogs enjoy a spacious, pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to roam and relax. I have a large house with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for playtime, sunbathing, and safe potty breaks. Dogs are welcome on furniture, and I make sure their routines (feeding, walks, bedtime) are followed just like at home. For clients who prefer in-home care, I’m happy to stay in your home to help your pup feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I maintain your dog’s normal schedule, offer plenty of cuddles and companionship, and keep their environment clean and calm. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is in loving hands—whether they’re with me or in their own familiar space.

Information Natalie D. would like to know about your pet
When taking care of your furry friend, it's important to know some key details ahead of time to ensure that they are happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. One crucial piece of information is your pet's walking and feeding schedule, or medicinal schedule if necessary. Knowing when your pet typically eats and goes for walks can help me plan our day and ensure that your pet's needs are met on time. Also, knowing your pet's favorite toys can be helpful in providing comfort and entertainment. Relevant commands, such as "sit" or "stay," should also be noted, so I can communicate effectively with the pet and ensure they are safe and well-behaved. Finally, any sensitivities, such as to certain foods or noises, should be noted to avoid any potential issues and keep the pet comfortable and carefree. Overall, awareness of these details can help me provide the best possible care for your furry friend and ensure their time with me is pleasant and stress-free.
A typical day
I enjoy taking leisurely walks with senior dogs, as they have a lot to offer in terms of wisdom and experience. I also love engaging in training and enrichment activities with puppies, as they are always eager to learn and grow. Playing with active dogs is another one of my favorite activities, as it allows me to let loose and enjoy their boundless energy. I find that going to parks and walking along the water is the best way to enjoy these activities, as it provides the perfect setting for both me and the dogs. However, I am always open to new experiences and I love letting the dog lead me on a pup-venture to explore new places!

Due to my current situation of being in a job transition, I have found myself with an abundance of free time. I would love to put that time to good use by taking care of your furry friend.
