Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet

Questions I will ask include: how does your cat or dog get along with other pets? What is their temperment when you are around or not around? Have they had their spring/summer flea and tick treatments? Are they up to date on their shots? Vet name and number? This helps me customize their care, walks and outings, and also helps me to meet them where they are at, so you and your pet feel at ease, comfortable and safe for a happy and enjoyable vacation for all!

A typical day

I will visit with your cats in their cat suite multiple times a day, as will my family. I will prep food two or three times per day (based on their routine), clean litter twice daily, brush them and keep their room tidy and hygienic. We will watch tv together, drink coffee (or wine!) and enjoy hanging out with relaxing music or a good book. Sometimes we do supervised play dates with my cat if you (and your cat) would appreciate that extra socialization. For dogs we walk every day, play, do food puzzles and snuggle on the couch.

Cat Care & Boarding Specialist!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Natalie, a lifelong Oakville community member who’s raised 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 kids, and 1 husband (yep, in that order!). I offer personalized cat care in a natural home environment - no cages or crates - just their own sofa, toys and tvs 😊 Our goal is that when you go on vacation, your pets get one too! I also offer small dog care but we are fully booked for the summer. Our feline guests will get their very own cozy cat suite with a plushy couch, toys, cat tree, scratching post, hiding spots, water fountain, litter box with fresh litter, air purifier, calming cat music or videos, and a kitchenette where I prep their food and do their grooming (nails, brushing etc). They will get lots of cuddles, roaming time and playdates too. My goal is that your kitty feels comfortable, safe and happy, so you can enjoy your vacation, while they enjoy theirs! For our canine boarding, we specialize our care for toy and small breeds including Chihuahua, Maltese, Cockapoo, Yorkie, Papillon, Havanese, and toy oodles just to name a few. Dogs will live with us, like they do at your house and become part of the family. They will get daily walks, plushy dog beds, lots of potty breaks, enjoyable meal times with enrichment fun (puzzles, kongs etc), indoor and outdoor playtime and lots of snuggles! Accepting fall bookings only (summer is fully booked). I live in L6H (north Oakville) with clients from River Oaks, West Oak Trails, Glen Abbey, Oak Walk, Falgarwood and Joshua Creek, as well as Burlington, Mississauga, Hamilton and Milton. We are happy to do pick up and drop off to save you time when you are busy getting ready or returning from your trip I also offer stop in/drop ins to care for your pet at your home. I will change up their water, feed, clean litter and play with your furry family member. I am not taking new dog walk clients for spring/summer 2026 because I am over-capacity at the moment. As a side note, we’ve been a volunteer foster family for the Humane Society for many years and you are welcome to contact them for my reference. We have been welcoming pregnant cats for years, helping them through birth, and raising their kittens until they’re ready for adoption. It’s been a joy (and a bit of a zoo!), but we wouldn’t have it any other way. I'm well known in the Oakville area, since I've lived here all my life - I went to school, volunteer and work here, and I am active in the local community - who knows - maybe we've met! If not, I look forward to meeting you soon!

It was an absolute pleasure having Natalie care for my two cats while I was away. I truly can’t speak highly enough of her level of care and attention. She went above and beyond to ensure they were well looked after, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands.

Natalie is the best, soo friendly and she smiles all the time. It is complicated to review when you are not at home but I feel my cats felt trustful because they appeared to her, while they normally hide when strangers come at home. I feel she has a positive and magical energy with animals. I would definitely hire her again

We were so grateful for the wonderful care our two cats received over the week with Natalie. Natalie sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that our cats were happy, comfortable, and truly enjoyed spending time with her. Knowing our kitties were so well cared for made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
