Pet care experience
I got my first dog when I was 7, she was a one year old border collie mix names Sami. I was her primary caretaker from the start. I was the one in charge of feeding her, taking her out, helping train her, going on walks, and of course giving her lots of love. For a time I helped foster another dog in 2019, so we had 2 dogs in the house. Sadly, Sami's health had started to fail her at 11 years old, so I had to stop fostering to take care of her in her senior years. It was a heart breaking time but I did my best to make sure the end of her time was comfortable. Months after we lost Sami, my family adopted a puppy named Cassie. I had never had a puppy before so it was exhausting but extremely fun to learn to care for a puppy. Now, Cassie is 4 years old and the goofiest girl. Over the years I learned responsibility in taking care of both dogs and cats, and providing for their needs. I prioritize their care and make sure they are given lots of love, playtime, toys, and snuggles. I have always loved animals and that love continues to grow everyday.

Natalie sat with my labradoodle shortly after an extensive abdominal surgery. Great peace of. Ind knowing she was in good hands while I was at work!
Natalie was wonderful, I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She is so mindful and courteous to you and your pets needs. I felt very safe leaving kitty with her for the week on our trip. She sent many updates and pictures/videos which gave me peace of mind. She gave Plenty of attention to kitty, 😻played with her and listen to my instructions. It just made everything so much easier on me and allowed me to enjoy myself more while I was gone. I was very happy that she was still able to make it despite the bad snowstorms, we had as well. She is very committed! I would definitely rebook her next time we go on a trip; she has a pretty flexible schedule, which makes it even easier to book her!!👍🤩
Natalie was easy to work with and gave our pets lots of love and attention while we were away. She also sent pics and updates along the way. We would definitely use her again for future trips.
Natalie did an excellent job caring for our dog, Shila. It was clear that Natalie loved animals- and our dog loved her too. It can be a challenge to find someone you trust with your pet; we are so glad that we found her. I will certainly recommend her to my friends and family.

I live at home with my family and their pets. We have a big house with a fenced in yard to play in and our dog would love to play with yours! Our dog sleeps on my bed with me in my room at night, and is let out either by me or my parents in the morning. I have my own car so I am easily able to drive to your house to let the dog outside, take them for a walk, and/or stay overnight to care for your pets. If the dog needs to be taken anywhere I am able to provide transportation.

A typical day
I'm very flexible in providing what your pet needs! I can provide lots of activity (both physical and mental) for active pets and/or provide comfortable down time for those on the lower energy side. On the activity side of things I'm great at walks, playing with toys, providing mental puzzles, and also have a dog of my own your pet could play with if you're comfortable with that. And of course I'm good for some cuddles and naps, and making sure pets get fun but also get their rest.

Availability
I have a wide open schedule! I graduated from college this past winter semester and am currently between jobs. Unfortunately I've been having some sleep issues so my sleep schedule can vary but I will always make it a priority to get up and take care of your pets no matter the time. My family still has work and school Monday-Friday but I can operate separately.
