Energetic woman who loves animals
Pet care experience
I'm a young woman who loves animals, especially dogs and cats. I provide walking services along with daytime and overnight playtime, pet sitting, and boarding services. I grew up with a Siberian Husky, so I am very comfortable handling larger energetic dogs who aren't the best at listening to instructions. I'm used to taking dogs out for longer walks on a more frequent basis (at least 3-4 times a day), but I make sure to tailor the activity level to the specific dog and any health issues they may have. It's important to treat every animal as an individual and to understand what they're comfortable with - I never assume anything until I've spent some time with the specific animal. I also have several years of experience of going to owners' houses to play with their pets as well as stay overnight in their homes to watch their pets. I make sure to spend quality time with each pet, playing with them and keeping them active (unless health issues require mostly rest). I follow all instructions very carefully, whether it comes to food/water, keeping pets to certain areas of the house, or special collar/leash usage. Lastly, I live in a comfortable-sized home where I love to host pets. We have two gated decks and a large yard. The yard is unfenced, so I do not let pets run loose, but rather take them outside on a leash to explore and sniff around. I follow any type of feeding and walking schedules - just let me know what your pet requires and I will cater to them! When you board your dog or cat at my house (overnight or during the day), you can expect the following: - A lot of love and attention from myself and my family (someone is always ready to cuddle with your pet!) - Plenty of space for your furry companion to move around (they can act like they own the place!) - Many long walks (at least 3 to 4 throughout the day) and lots of one-on-one playtime - A regular feeding schedule along with administering any medication needed

This is our second time having our puppy stay in Natalie’s beautiful home with her family and we couldn’t be more grateful. Natalie gives that total peace of mind when you’re away and exposed our puppy to new people, places, and activities. He’s got a lot of puppy energy, but Natalie’s calm demeanor and patience is truly a gift. Thank you again Natalie!
Natalie does an amazing job with my dog! She keeps me up to date with photos and videos during her walks and stays which is very comforting in time apart. She is very professional in her communication and clearly has a true love of dogs. I am so happy her and my dog have bonded!
I don't know how to thank Natalie enough for her amazing care of our 4 month old puppy. It was our first time leaving him alone overnight (let alone for 7 nights while we were out of the country!) so we were really nervous. From the minute we met Natalie for a meet and greet, we and our puppy felt so, so comfortable and at ease. That same sense of peace was there for the entire vacation - my husband and I were able to truly relax, and Watson had the BEST time with Natalie and her family. She kept us updated with tons of videos and photos, and he was loving life with all the walks and adventures she took him on. We are so appreciative of Natalie's wonderful care of him while we were away and cannot recommend her more highly. Thank you again!
Natalie was great. Very responsive and sent plenty of updates on how things were going. Kept the pup happy and active all week. Would definitely recommend.

I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of grass, trees, and bushes for your pet to explore. There is a lot of open space with parks in this area that we can easily walk to. I love being active and playing with pets, whether it's fetch, tug of war, or using any other toys.
