Highlights
Pet care experience
Sitting so I don’t get a puppy :)
Hi, I’m Natalie! Providing exceptional animal care has been a lifelong passion and commitment. I grew up caring for horses, dogs, cats, and parrots and have spent years working with animals of many breeds, sizes, and personalities. My background in riding and training horses gave me early experience handling large, sensitive, and energetic animals with confidence and patience. Today, I bring that same calm, attentive approach to every pet in my care. I specialize in dependable pet care for owners who value professionalism, communication, and individualized attention. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, exercise, affection, and maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to create a trusted experience that allows you to travel or work without worry. Expect thoughtful communication, regular photo updates, and care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Ratings and reviews
Natalie provided great updates and was very flexible and accommodating. My pup loved her stay.
Natalie was the sweetest and sent so many updates during my dog’s stay!
I was so pleased with Natalie. Missy was well taken care of and Natalie worked her magic in getting Missy to eat her dinner. She sent me photos and kept me updated. I will definitely use her again when I’m visiting San Diego!
Best sitter ever!
Just wonderful. Very communicative, flexible, and responsive. I felt very assured leaving my 10 mo old puppy with Natalie, and hope to book again!
Natalie did a great job sitting my Boston Terrier, Chelsea. She was very compliant with my pets medications and administrated them to her without any difficulty. She was very observant to her care instructions and made sure that Chelsea was safe at all times. Natalie also provided updates on how Chelsea was doing through out her visit and sent pictures showing me how much fun Chelsea was having. Would choose her again for boarding and high recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
Watching pets has been a fun way to enjoy having companions around since I’m not ready to get my own pets just yet. I’m happy to adjust to your fur babies schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible when you are away.
A typical day
A typical work week day consists of both time inside for naps and a long lunch walk. Weekends are spent out and around the house or on an adventure.
