Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs ever since my aunt got a miniature schnauzer thirteen years ago. I am not allowed to have pets in my home so I am excited to be able to care for other peoples' pets, especially dogs. I have experience walking and playing with dogs so I feel very comfortable taking care of them. I have a pretty flexible availibility and will provide the best care I can to your pet as if it were my own. I am very respectful of peoples homes so I always strictly go in to take care of the dogs and make sure everything is in place and the house is left secured. I'm an easy going person so i'm ready for any task i need to provide!

Natalie came for a visit the day before she was to be here for two overnights since it had been three weeks since our "meet and greet." At the visit she said that she would not be able to do Rosey's noon walk on the first day because of work. The morning of the day we were leaving, Natalie emailed that she would not be able to do the overnights but would come and feed/walk Rosey and would stay for a few hours to be with her, but Rosey would be alone during the night. That was not what was initially agreed to, so we canceled even though it was a real problem finding a place for Rosey to go at virtually the last minute.

Natalie was available when I really needed her. She came in and bonded well with my 2 dogs who can be a little nervous with strangers. My chihuahua who barks at everybody didn't even bark when she came in! She listened well to what I needed her to do, asked good questions, and kept me informed while I was gone as to how everything was going. When I returned the dogs were happy and the house was in great shape. It was so wonderful because this was the first time I had left my dogs with anyone since I adopted them from the shelter. I will use Natalie again! Thanks!

Natalie is just wonderful! For the first time in years I was able to go away and not worry about the dogs being miserable at a kennel. Natalie stayed at our home and really bonded with our pets. She kept in touch with me with any questions and went out of her way to get the dogs treats. We will surely have her again.

I was very nervous leaving my senior schnauzer with anyone other than family. And my special circumstances for the sitting request weren’t the best for me (a last minute need/booking). But I have to say Natalie was wonderful. She was able to meet my same day request and my schnauzer was at ease. She was able to accommodate what can be a very picky schnauzer for his dinner, walking and ensuring his comfort. If I ever need the same or similar services again in the future, she will be at the top of my list!
