Ready for all the Walks and Cuddles

Pet care experience

I dabbled into pet care at the age of 9 with my own neighborhood dog walking service with my bestie Caroline. At the same time, I was a cat mom to a Siamese named Tinkerbell for 3 years. This young love for animal care blossomed into my own desire to become a dog mom seven years ago to a 1- year old adopted Rhodesian Ridgeback. Since Simba’s adoption, I’ve been an active volunteer at our local dog park, and community advocate for more dog friendly parks in my neighborhood. I have a soft spot for four-legged family members and spoil them so they feel loved and cared for 🐾♥️.

Natalie asked great questions when it came to caring for Crisco. She sent daily videos or photos where Crisco always looked happy. Hope she will be available the next time I go out of town.

Natalie took amazing care of my puppy 11 week old puppy for 5 days. She kept me up to date on his wellbeing and sent pics and videos daily. She truly puts her heart into caring for dogs and I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. When she brought him back to me, I could see that they truly bonded. He even whimpered to go outside and watch her leave.

Natalie and her fiancé Shadi were absolutely wonderful caregivers for Cooper while we were gone for two and a half weeks. Working with Natalie was a blast. She is very organized and professional and treats dog boarding as another job. She had a fantastic system and took thorough notes during our initial conversation, ensuring she captured all the details about Cooper. She made sure we had a meet and greet before we left and was consistently communicative during our whole time away. She made sure we got videos and pictures with texts that gave us information on how Cooper is doing and how he is acclimating. It was very nice and relieving to wake up to her messages and know Cooper was well taken care of. Upon our return, initially, we were planning on picking Cooper up, however, we were both sick with stomach issues when we got off the plane and were in no shape to drive. Shadi and Natalie were super understanding and offered to drive Cooper home. Cooper must have had such a loving, nice time that when they were leaving he attempted to get out the door and leave with them :). Thank you Natalie for being so kind and loving with Cooper. I highly recommend Natalie's services - she is reliable, organized, communicative, and really loves dogs and does her best to make them feel at home! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! We would definitely love to book again with you next time we are out of town! ❤️???

Our dog was well loved and taken care of by Natalie. We certainly hope she's available the next time we need a sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I live within walking distance of a walking trail that would afford your dog new smells and safe walking trails for plenty of exercise. My apartment has an open concept that allows your pet to walk around, explore and stretch their legs and paws. The best care is supported by having all necessary supplies from home to make sure your pet’s stay a smooth for a stress-less transition. If there are any requested items missing during their stay, I’m more than willing to go the extra mile and purchase what is needed, however, there will be an 10% service charge to the total cost, including tax 🫶🏾🐾.

Information Natalie F. would like to know about your pet

It important for to to learn the following: - Feeding Schedules and Dietary/ Medications Needs - Normal house and outdoor behavior - Socialization tolerance with other pets (especially at dog parks) and people (including children) - Any special accommodations (crate, noise anxiety, extra or little walking time) - Car sickness - Vet and Per Insurance Contact Information (specifically for Boarding Clients).

A typical day

I love spending time at the dog park. If the dog park is too crowded or not an option, finding the nearest trails and hitting the pavement for a light jog is great! We both get our heart rates up and end with a cuddle session on the sofa or carpet. If the weather tries to keep us in, then it's tugs, rubs, and a brisk 15-20 minute walk.
