Safety, trust & environment

While I do not currently offer in-home boarding, I am fully capable of providing fun and consistent care for your furry friend in your humble abode. I've done many house visits over the years, ranging from hamsters to ponies!

Information Natalie L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any certain behaviors/quirks, special and/or medical needs, allergies, etc, ahead of time so I am able to properly prepare.

A typical day

Fetch? Tug of war? A ball with a jingle bell in it? Maybe practicing some tricks or sniffing every pole during a walk? Or is your pet is more of a "I'll watch you play instead" type of vibe. Whatever the case may be, it's my goal to make sure they feel happy!

No pet too big, or too small!

Pet care experience

I've owned and worked with animals my entire life! Anything from Mice and bugs to horses and dogs. I've worked at barns and as a dog trainer, even as far as being a grooming assistant at dog shows. I have experience caring for sick, chronically ill and senior animals as well, and am used to routine ear cleanings and pill-givings.

Natalie is amazing! She is so loving and caring for my puppy (started watching when she was only 10 weeks) while I was at work! She came over multiple times a day and always updated me throughout the day on how things went. She is timely and so good with puppies and keeps all the same routines you need for your puppy or dog to feel comfortable!

Natalie is the current owner of a hamster I originally got but couldn't care for myself after a bit, and from seeing updates and showing how much they care about them, I could not have picked a better person to take care of them. Quinston (Hamster) is thriving now thanks to their care.

Natalie cared for our three cats while we were on vacation. She did an awesome job. She is responsive and sent pictures while we were away. I will definitely hire her again!

Natalie has cared for our cat Nigel on multiple occasions over the past 8 years. She has always given him the extra attention he tends to need while we're away. He's always been his happy-go-lucky self when we return home so I know he's been well looked after. We get photos and videos of him playing so even more so I know he trusts her. She's also had to pick up more wet food a few times when we're gone longer than expected and she's always been more than happy to help and extend her services even though it was our mistake! I will continue to hire her as long as she continues to be available.
