Day Care w/ Shelter Volunteers
Pet care experience
LOCATION: We are right near all the major venues. We live 4 blocks from the Munising cruise boat dock…1 min drive from Paddling MI, Northern Waters, Pictured Rocks Kayaking, Rip Tide Ride, and Glass Bottom Boat…and 5 min from the National Park! ABOUT US: I was born and raised in Munising. Mark and I have spent over 6 years volunteering as evening animal caregivers & dog walkers with Alger County Animal Shelter. Currently we have two rough collies and a cat. We have a lovely, historical house we have been renovating, with a small fenced in dog play area off the back deck. Our house and yard is clean, and we don’t smoke. We also have 4 urban hens that stay in their outdoor pen at all times.
Reviews
Natalie was great with our little sheltie, Rhea. She was able to make her feel comfortable even though she was a little bit nervous at first. By the end of her stay, she was playing with toys and hanging out with the female collie, Nova. We also really appreciated Natalie giving us a map and suggestions of dog friendly trails in the area. Rhea even got a cookie bag for being a good girl! Thank you for making us feel comfortable with leaving our furbaby for a few hours so we could go on a kayaking trip.
Our sweet old Izzy thoroughly enjoyed her stay at Natalie's so we could get out and do some of the things she couldn't join us for. Natalie was very pleasant and helpful, gave us tips on things to see/do/and eat in the area, but more importantly, kept us informed of how our velcro-dog was doing in our absence and did her best to keep her comfortable and relaxed during her visit. Izzy, a food-focused dog, even got a couple of treats to go with a sweet note. I definitely hope to be back in the area and would definitely utilize Natalie's pet-sitting services!! Thanks so much!!?
Natalie truly went above and beyond! My dog had a blast playing with hers in her lovely house and yard, and she kept me updated the entire time with pictures and videos. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!!
I am so happy we found Natalie on Rover to watch our pup while we hiked the Pictured Rocks lakeshore! She was extremely pleasant, communicative, and knowledgeable on the area and dog friendly things to do. Also my girl had a great time playing with her two beautiful dogs! She was so tired afterwards and slept like a baby for the rest of the night. Thanks so much again, Natalie!!
