Pet care experience
Hike, Walk, Run, Play! XXOO
I'm a huge animal lover! I grew up with dogs, having different dogs in my family growing up. Jaco was our Springer Spaniel, best dog ever. He would bring us "Avocados" from the trails behind the house & leave them on our door step for us! =) All my friends that have dogs I'm constantly wanting to take with us where ever we go. I love to go hiking, walk the Bluffs in Carpinteria, walk trails, go to dog park, play at the Beach (I'm from Huntington Beach, where we had a huge Dog Beach & all were free to run & play together! It was Awesome!) throw freebie or ball! I Volunteered at AAA Animal Shelter in Midway City for years, to care for & help adopt them to good homes. Update: Since the pandemic I have moved, I now live in Carmel close to Carmel Valley & Big Sur! =) We have amazing hiking trails out my front door, gorgeous beaches down the street to play at & lots of amazing nature to explore. I have lost my fur babies of 20 + years soon after moving here yet, have some lovely neighbors fur babies to care for &play with on the trails.

Safety, trust & environment
I do have a private small fenced yard and a larger run out back for fur babies to run around. I also can come to your home to care for your fur babies in their own environment. I used this service for years when I had my 2 kitties and had to travel, it was a great sense of security for them & me. I've taken care of 20 million dollar homes and fur babies while owners are travelling. I've even slept in owners bed at their request as to care for their older dog who I had to administer medication to 2 times a day. Whatever you fur babies need I'm here to make them feel at home, have a great time playing together & your peace of mind while you're away. Plus, you will get lots of pictures & updates from me, as I love to take photos as well. <3
Ratings and reviews
Natalie was terrific in the care she gave our little Maltese Molly. Molly is a senior dog ( going on 14 ), she has a tumor on her bladder and has to pee very often. She also is very anxiety when she is away from us. Although she is taking pain meds and anxiety meds, she whines when we are out of sight. Natalie took charge by comforting her and distracting her with toys and treats. We were comfort with leaving Molly with Natalie to go to a friends house for a Thanksgiving meal. We would definitely feel very comfortable leaving her with Natalie.
Natalie takes the best care of our older dog. We always know Lola is in great hands and will go on amazing adventures.
This is the third time we’ve used Natalie for walks and overnight dog sitting when visiting Carmel. This time was for three nights. She’s always super communicative and keeps us updated throughout her stay and Arthur is always happy to see her. I can’t recommend her enough and hope to be able to hire her on our next visit to the area.
We cannot say enough great things about Natalia. She treats our older dog so well and we feel so at ease when away knowing Natalie is watching her.
Natalie was wonderful with our pup. She was so responsive and communicative, helping us with last minute dogsitting so we could visit the aquarium with our kids during a trip to Carmel. It was so easy to plan, and she kept us updated with her arrival, how our puppy was doing and even a rental house issue that arose unexpectedly. She brought special dog treats and toys, which our pup loved. Highly recommend and would definitely reach out again if in the area.
Natalie is amazing!
