I’ll run with your dog!
Pet care experience
Like most 13 year-olds, I had my own dog-walking business around my town. But my real experience comes from my time working at a dog boarding business. I was in charge of feeding, playing with, and cleaning up after the dogs. We housed dogs of all sizes and about 10-13 at a time. I became familiar with multiple breeds. I loved the opportunity to learn about new dogs, each with their own habits and attitudes. I learned how to accommodate to all the different personalities and behaviors that our dogs had. This job gave me the qualities necessary to work with your dog or dogs specifically. I am a full time student at Western Washington University, so my schedule is dependent on my classes. However, I am more than willing to adapt for your dogs benefit.
Reviews
My family and I went on a 2 week trip to Scotland and Ireland over the summer, so we could not afford to board out dogs for that amount of time. Natalie came over in the morning, fed the dogs, let them outside, played with them and made sure they had full water bowls. She also took care of our cat. While we were gone, she also updated us on how the dogs were doing. When we came home after out trip, everything was in perfect shape and the dogs were fed, safe and happy. She works with dogs so well and I would definitely recommend her for this job!
Natalie has worked for me in the past spring and summer. She is very responsible and takes great care of the dogs while in her care. Very dependable with no worries when I know she is her. Great with the clients as well. I will keep using her services when available.
I have known Natalie Franco for about 3 years and she has impressed me since day one. Her heart for others - friends, family, animals and humanity is by far the most admirable trait about her. She is trustworthy, responsible and seems to be a bit of a perfectionist especially academically. She has a love and heart that surpasses other. She has watched our house before and our dog. I’d have her do it anytime! Anyone who knows her is blessed by her! She is a world changer!

Information Natalie F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about your dog beforehand. What behaviors should I be aware of? What calms them down or comforts them best when you are gone? How can I get to know your dog best? What treats can I bring for her/him?
A typical day
With me, dogs can look forward to running, walking, dog park trips, and hours-long games of fetch.
