Pet care experience

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.

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!

Just wonderful. Very communicative, flexible, and responsive. I felt very assured leaving my 10 mo old puppy with Natalie, and hope to book again!
