Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy to care for every personality
I am a lifetime dog adorer with a playful husky mix who wishes to open our home to new friends! From years of caring for my own dogs as well as those of friends, family members, and boarders, I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperments. I look forward to hearing how I can best meet the needs of your four-legged family members!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Natalie communicates with us well and is great at handling any immediate needs thoughtfully while following up with us on what is going on and discussing any behavior we need to address between our dogs and hers.
Natalie is one of the best dog walkers I found on the app. She is experienced in walking large and sometimes reactive dogs and is very patient, assertive and kind with Cila. She is lovely to work with--always extremely communicative and flexible. I cannot recommend her enough! She is a rockstar and Cilantro and I are so lucky to have her as our dog walker!
We are beyond grateful for Natalie’s incredible help over the holiday. Our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, and Natalie stepped in with very short notice. She not only resolved our boarding issue but truly helped us through a stressful situation. Natalie took amazing care of our pup over the New Year weekend. He usually gets very nervous around fireworks, but she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and safe. We really appreciated the daily updates and adorable photos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated her flexibility, and exceptional care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!
I have had the opportunity over many years to watch Natalie interact with our dog, Sadie, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for a position as dog walker. Sadie and I were trained in the school of positive reinforcement, and I see that same approach with Natalie and her dog, Talvi. A dog walker doesn't just walk dogs, but needs to be able to relate, and communicate with them. Natalie's approach comes from a position of love and a proper knowledge of dog behavior. I think she'd make a great dog walker. Apologies for this late response, as I have been away.

Schedule
I am currently at home full time and can provide steady care with very minimal time away. Activity and playtime is highly encouraged with games and/or walks built in every 2-4 hours. I also have the ability to separate different dog-safe areas as needed to encourage rest and safe feeding.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large 4+ft. fenced yard with plenty of room and supplies for tuggers, chasers, and chewers. Indoors includes several safe spaces for dogs to relax out in the open and/or in provided crates.

A typical day
The day typically starts with a break outside and breakfast, with a variety of neighborhood walks and off-leash playtime in the yard throughout the day and evening. Your pup is welcome to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable after a long day of fun.
