Compassionate, Canine Care Giver

Pet care experience

Growing up rescuing animals with my mother, I became passionate about dogs and my love for them grew more and more as I got older. As a former volunteer at the shelter in Philly, I have experience with all types of dogs from small chihuahuas to mastiffs. I grew up rescuing senior spaniels making medicating them a daily routine. I am comfortable giving medication ranging from a joint supplement to insulin injections. I was an evaluator at the animal shelter, making me knowledgable in dog behavior and body language. I’m addition to my volunteer experience, I have fostered over 20 dogs. My knowledge allows me to make the best decision for the dog in any situation that may arise. I love to to see the joy a dog has when he is having fun whether it be on a walk or playing with toys in the backyard, so your dog will never be bored or disappointed when they're with me!

Natalie has a passion for animals that is unmatched! She splits her time among the shelter she volunteers with in Philadelphia and taking care of foster animals of her own. She's thorough and passionate about providing the best care to each animal. She has taken care of our crew, a large dog and two cats, numerous times and we know they are in the best hands. Highly recommend Natalie!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in well rounded dog care. I do have a backyard but also believe a dog should get walks during the day for mental and physical stimulation.

Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet

Knowing the dogs behaviors and quirks is important to me ahead of time. Learning about things they prefer or I need to pay extra attention to helps to keep a safe relationship between me in the dog. This includes things like dont touch feet, does not allow you to take things from their mouth (in case they picked something up on a walk), etc.

A typical day

We will walk where the owner wants, whether it be on a hiking trail or around the neighborhood! We will also play with toys and the dog will never be bored!
