A dog's Best friend 😍🐶

My love for dogs started in toddlerhood when I begged my parents for a puppy. Growing up, I trained my Cockapoo and Chihuahua in basic commands and fun tricks, and I groomed my Poodle mix, keeping his fur trimmed. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience handling dogs of various breeds, understanding their unique needs, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My passion for dogs runs deep, it’s what led me to meet my husband when I couldn’t resist his K9 German Shepherd! Our shared love for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. Though we recently lost our own pup, we regularly care for our in-laws’ and neighbors’ pets, working with a variety of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I have two young children, ages 3 and 5, and together we create a gentle, loving environment for dogs of all sizes. My kids understand how to interact kindly and respectfully with pets, and we prioritize their safety and well-being. I use positive reinforcement techniques to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and properly exercised. I treat every dog like they’re a part of my family—providing cuddles, playtime, and a home away from home. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me, it’s my true passion. I treat every dog like my own, providing them with cuddles, playtime, and a home away from home. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the love and care they deserve while you’re away!

Natalie was an amazing sitter. She sent pictures every day of her with my dog Steel and was very communicative. Great sitter.

Natalie and her family were very caring and attentive pet-sitters, and always made it a point to check in and send pictures. They provided all the love and cuddles my pup demands! Their little three year old boy was also the cutest little pal to my dog, Beau the entire time he stayed with them. I will definitely be having Beau stay with them again in the future.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Natalie and her family provided for my dog! From start to finish, they were excellent communicators, keeping me updated with photos and messages. It was clear that my dog felt right at home with them. The love and attention they gave him made all the difference, and I could tell he was well-cared for. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!

Schedule

I work from home, allowing me the flexibility to take 15-minute breaks throughout the day. I enjoy long walks with my kids and husband, and having a few dogs join us makes it even more special.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and trust by following each pet owner's care guidelines, understanding pets' body language, and maintaining a pet-proof environment. I love build connections with dogs so that they are comfortable.

A typical day starts at 6 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends with a morning walk. I take breaks around 10 AM/noon for another walk or two. After work at 4 PM, we go on a longer walk. In the evening, I fit in one or two more walks before bedtime around 11 PM. Throughout the day, I also include playtime, training sessions, and plenty of cuddles to keep the pets happy.
