Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are everything 🫶🏻
I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We've used multiple dog sitters in the past. But me and my wife agreed that Natalie's services far extend what most others offer. Its gives peace of mind to know that our boy is well looked after as if he was her own,whilst we are occupied.
Natalie on multiple occasions has looked after, and taken care of our previous dog Angel. Angel fell in love with Natalie very quickly. And Natalie reciprocated by showing love, attention and care, by making sure all of her needs were met and attended to with professionalism, and the love you could only wish for from a dog sitter. Natalie has since looked after our new dog Honey. And once again history has repeated itself and Honey adores Natalie and we never hesitate to book Honey in. As the process is most comforting and reassuring and the dogs are more than well looked after.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was kind, caring, responsible, and genuinely loving. It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals and treated my dog like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her hands, and came home to a very happy pup! I would happily recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.
i have known Natalie for over 8 years and within that time she has looked after many dogs and also had 2 of her own also, she's warm hearted person that loves animals and cares for them all like they was her own. she gives the extra special care and patience towards them that others don't.

Schedule
I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.
Pets
A typical day
I’m lucky to live surrounded by woodland and lovely walking areas, giving us plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks and exploring. I’ll follow your dog’s usual exercise routine and adapt walks to their age, energy level and individual needs. There will also be plenty of time for play, cuddles, enrichment and relaxing at home. I want every dog staying with me to feel comfortable, happy and included as part of the family.

- Please let me know about anything important regarding your dog before their stay, including their routine, personality, likes and dislikes, fears, behavioural needs, feeding requirements or anything else I should be aware of. Every dog is different, and having this information allows me to provide care that is suited specifically to them. I’m always happy to discuss your dog’s needs before booking so you can feel completely comfortable leaving them in my care.
