Information Natalie D. would like to know about your pet

A dog's habits and preferences, known commands and favorite snacks. What side they walk on and what might frighten them. No breed is off-limits, but if your dog is overtly aggressive toward people or other animals, I will need to know this before I will agree to take care of your pet.

A typical day

For walks, I like to stay in areas that are familiar to your dog, even on the same route you take your dog. A new person in a new place can be overwhelming, and I want to keep the stress levels down until your dog and I get to know each other better. Once we're better acquainted, the walks can branch out to local trails and different neighborhoods. I'm a big fan of fetch, and if your dog if off-leash trained or your yard is big enough, I can play fetch until your pupper is ready to take a nap.

Your dog's new best friend

Pet care experience

Every dog is the best dog there is, and it's always my goal to make sure your dog knows that. I can handle high- and low-energy dogs, having lived with a big ole fluffball of energy and a low-key shy angel. If you want someone to come in and make sure your dog isn't lonely while you work your 9-5, my schedule is perfect for morning and afternoon walks and check-ins. I take dog care seriously, and I want your dog to enjoy being with me, whether that means a brisk walk or a quiet amble around your neighborhood. I am also an excellent cat-caretaker, so if your feline friend needs some looking after, I'm here for them, too. I'm an outgoing, friendly person who would be thrilled to look after your beloved pet.

Natalie was simply amazing! If you want to feel comfortable when you go away and have to leave your furry friends behind, Natalie is the best! She took such great care of our cat and kept us updated daily. You can tell she really cares she doesn't just drop off food, she takes the time to let your pet know they aren't alone.

Natalie was extremely responsible and curteous watching over our home and our two pups. She kept us updated with daily pictures and a summary of the girls’ day which was very comforting. We especially appreciated her flexibility to stay another night when our flight home was canceled. We definitely recommend Natalie and will call on her again!
