Pet care experience
Loving, Protective & Fun Pup Sitter
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of January 1st, 2026, I am putting housesitting and drop ins on indefinite hold. My professional work is changing, and I am not able to provide these services. Petsitting at my home and dog walking may be available on a limited basis. Feel free to check with me to see if I can accomodate your needs. Thank you for understanding! Loving pet sitter or dog walker for you furry family member. I raised two dogs from puppies to late teenagers but am now an empty nester dog mom who relocated from the SF Bay Area to Frederick. Before I had my own dogs, I volunteered for the San Francisco SPCA and was trained in positive reinforcement dog training. I am a very loving and protective pet sitter and extend the same love and care gave to my own dogs to yours. I include 2 long walks per day and one short walk with an overnight stay. I will closely follow any instructions you provide for medical, dietary or general care. I am looking forward to caring for your furry family member soon!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am extremely careful about safety and would only let dogs off lease in your yard if fenced or in a fenced dog park. I take care of dogs as if they were my own and will include any other pet precautions you indicate in their care instructions.
Ratings and reviews
Natalie sent us pics every day, took her on her walks and also have our house in perfect condition when we come home, with all sheets and towels washed and dried. Our flight was several hours late and she was able to stay longer than she planned. Always a great experience and Luna looks forward to seeing her.
Natalie is so amazing with our Cooper. He loves her and so do we. Never a worry with Natalie.
Natalie is so great with Sofi! She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away!
Natalie not only takes the best and most loving care of our dog Molly. She goes above and beyond in every way. She feels like part of our family, and Molly adores her.
Natalie was very attentive to our dog and very responsive to us. She gave us daily updates and sent us multiple pictures every day. We highly recommend her!!
Natalie was great. We are incredibly picky on who we trust with our dogs as we have to know they naturally are an animal lover and it’s not just a job. Natalie is such a sweet person and I could tell when she met our dogs that she was going to be great. She sent a ton of photos and was always keeping us in the loop. A bonus, she didn’t have to wash the linens but she chose to! we are so grateful to have been able to leave our pets and have peace of mind they were going to be cared for and loved.

Schedule
I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I love taking walks and making sure pups are nice and tired so they rest well and do not miss their people.
