Pet care experience

Puppy Parent & Pet Care Pro 🐕🐈🐰

Animals have always been a huge part of my life and heart. Today I am the proud parent of a goofy 1 year old Bernese-Golden mix named Foog, so I am no stranger to puppy energy and training, having experience in all age ranges of dogs. I grew up with brother and sister dogs, one of which had diabetes and required a daily administration of insulin, pills, and special care. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, chickens, guinea pigs, and fish. I love animals of all kinds! Outside of pet sitting, I am a fisheries ecologist, which means my personal and professional life revolves around animal wellbeing. Whether it’s administering medications, handling energetic pups, or just giving extra cuddles, I treat every animal like they are my own.

Would definitly recommend hiring Natalie to care for your animals. She was quick to respond and took excellent care of my cat. She took pictures and gave updates so you knew that all was taken care of while you were away. Will hire her again.

Natalie's love of animals is evident in the care and attention she gives each. Her balance of being firm and gentle, thorough but flexible, gives our family a sense of peace while away from our fur and feathered creatures. Natalie is attentive to household/pet instructions, adept at administering meds if required, and most importantly, offers genuine affection to our pets. I highly recommend Natalie as a pet sitter with Rover!

Natalie is an excellent caretaker for pets, as she is kind, patient and playful. She it timely in feeding pets when they are hungry and when it is either time to walk or play, she's ready to go! She is loving to all pets and would care generously for anyone little fury friend!

Schedule

As a PhD student at UNB, I have flexibility in my schedule throughout the week for walks and boarding as I will work from home some days. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or longer stays, I can adjust to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly space treating each animal like my own. I always prioritize safety (supervised play in secure places, watchful eyes for anything on the ground including unsafe food) and will make sure your pets feels comfortable. We back onto a large field with lots of play space and quiet streets that are perfect for sniffing, walking, and exploring. My pup, Foog, is a playful and uber loving dog who loves making new friends and is allowed on our comfy couch like family. We have successfully hosted many visiting dogs in our home.

Pets

A typical day

Both your pet and I will enjoy interacting, walks with plenty of sniff breaks, and a relaxing day. I also love playing games with my own puppy such as “Hide and Sniff”, using their nose to sniff out hidden treats. For your darling cats, I love some good cuddles or playtime with their toys. I also love just talking with them.
