Home
Information Natalie D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are aggressive and/or timid with other dogs/people, just because I do have a family of my own who are all very social. I’d like to know if they are allergic to anything/taking any medications/have any health issues. I’d also love to know how they act when they’re away from home/their owner. I want to make sure that I can create a comfortable environment for the pet before they arrive :)
A typical day
I love exploring with dogs! I’m a huge nature lover, so my ideal day of exercise is outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, cycling, etc. I would usually bring the pup on a known local trail, the beach or even just a walk in the park! I also love playing fetch in my backyard :)

Rescue mama & animal nutritionist ❤
Pet care experience
Hi pet parents! My name is Natalie and I bring over 20 years of experience in pet care and wellness. For starters, I’m the proud owner of Mama and Me, an online bakery where I create healthy, organic treats for pets and their humans. Using my certification in animal nutrition, I focus on crafting snacks that bring joy to families while promoting the health and happiness of their furry companions. Additionally, I volunteer as an Animal Care Technician at a local animal shelter. I gained hands-on experience administering medications, collaborating with veterinarians on diet plans, cleaning kennels, and ensuring animals were comfortable and well cared for. I also am a rescue mama and have adopted 3 wonderful additions to our family - 2 dogs & cat🐾 (Kayot, Kiara & Blake) Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been trusted to care for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and even fish in tanks of all sizes. From dog walking and grooming to cleaning habitats and issuing medications, I’ve always gone the extra mile to make sure every animal feels loved, comfortable, and healthy. In the future, I plan to pursue a master’s in Animal Science to deepen my expertise in pet health and nutrition. My ultimate goal is to work as a nutritionist for a pet food company, where I can combine my passion for animals with my commitment to helping them live long, healthy lives.

Reviews
Natalie was amazing! She stayed at my house for a few days with Teddy and did an excellent job. I really appreciate all the photos and text updates throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!!
It doesn’t get any better than Natalie! Patient, understanding, awesome communication - the list goes on. She was so gentle and understanding of my nervous dog and really went above and beyond to make him comfortable. I loved getting her updates and my house was spotless when I came back! I will definitely continue to use Natalie for my future dog-sitting requests!
Natalie did a fabulous job watching my cats and all the other little tasks I asked of her!! Kept me informed on anything that didn't go quite as anticipated and was very communicative!
Reliable and friendly!
