Pet care experience

I LOVE ur pet when u can't be there

Hi there, I'm Natalie--your dog's second best friend! I love being around animals. Their unconditional love and loyalty inspire me to be a better person. We can learn a lot from our four legged friends--I'm excited to learn something new from yours! I have a Portuguese Water Dog, and absolutely love all animals. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and reptiles. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable bathing, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I can also assist with training your pet while I’m with them. I will treat your baby as if he/she was my own. I have the ability to schedule my day around theirs! I will LOVE your pet when you can’t be there! They'll be a part of my family. You and your dog will love that I am kindhearted, loyal and reliable. Ranked as a Rover Top 100 Sitter in the US! I'm observant and your pet's health and safety will be my top priority! If you're looking for a respectful, responsible and happy home away from home for your pet, feel free to reach out! NOTE: if your dog is not well socialized and does not get along with other dogs, please do not put a booking request in. Socialized friendly dogs only!

Very communicative and flexible on timings - drop off and pick up. Plato came back nice and tired from his exciting day! The report card was also very helpful. Would definitely use again! Thank you!

Natalie was very attentive and kind. Honey had a great time, got to socialize with other dogs, and went on walks. She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!

We have been using Natalie for a very long time and she is absolutely wonderful. She is very flexible and gives our dogs the level of attention they are accustomed to at home. We love the regular photo updates she sends which show our dogs having a great time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, and live across from a dog park, I understand, tired dogs are good dogs. I let my dogs roam all over indoors, however, I can crate your dog if need be. I believe its important to maintain the similar routine they are use to at home.

Pets

A typical day

I live near Flamingo dog park and take my dog, Kitty, there often. I would only bring your dog to a dog park if they're used to going, and you give permission. I promise, I will keep a watchful eye the entire time we're there to make sure everyone plays nice. If I sense mischief, we will leave immediately. Sometimes we go to the doggy beach so Kitty can go swimming and play with his friends. Otherwise, we go on several walks per day. Tired dogs rarely cause problems, bored ones can cause mischief.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Natalie can host up to 5 pets per night
NOTE: if your dog is not well socialized and does not get along with other dogs, please do not put a booking request in. Socialized friendly dogs only! Does your dog have anxiety when you're not around? Does your dog having any bad habits? Does your dog get along with other dogs? Does your dog have any medical issues I need to be aware of? What is your dogs feeding schedule? Is your dog trained?
