Pet care experience
I’m Natalie, your pup’s new best friend! I’m an Air Force Veteran with a long history of taking care of animals, so I’m the perfect fit for pups of any kind. I have always taken care of rescue animals (including my 6-year-old Schnoodle, George!), and am always happy to work with animals that need a little bit more TLC to thrive. Since I work from home, I’m a great match for dogs that are used to having a human presence around them during the day--and for ones that could benefit from that as well! My son and I love having new animals all around the house, so we’ll definitely enjoy welcoming your pup into the fold. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pup, so it’s my job to make you feel like your pup is still right beside you! I always make sure owners are kept up-to-date on everything that we do, and follow all instructions to a “t.” I’m happy to take notes on just about anything that you need to kept in the loop on, and of course will document everything along the way as well! I send detailed daily updates to owners every day with information on what we’ve done that day, all complete with great pictures of us having fun together too!

Peanut was well taken care of and loved in my absence. Looking forward to booking with Natalie again. Happy that Peanut had a friend to play and stay with as well.
I have known Natalie for 30+ years and have always known her to have a true love for her pets. She knows how to keep calm and that calm seems to rub off on animals, even my hyperactive, hyper-loving Labradoodle! On top of that, she's a bit of a clean freak...so you can be sure that your furbabies will be in a loving, safe, and clean environment while you are away!
Natalie is exceptional. Our 12 month old Shih Tzu had just been neutered five days before we had to leave town. Natalie took such good care of banjo and could not have been more accommodating. We will use her every time we need to leave banjo with someone we can trust.
Natalie is WONDERFUL. Natalie and her son KJ, pup sat my 2 dogs at her fenced in back yard house. My Miki is 15, he has special needs being so old and Holly is 3, she is an active spitfire. Natalie and KJ gave the pups SSSSOOO much LOVE, time and energy. I did not worry one bit about leaving the pups for 10 days. I could continue and continue and continue, to tell you how happy I was that Natalie watched my 4 leggers. on a scale from 1-10. Natalie and KJ are definitely a 15+. If I ever have to leave town again I know exactly who to call. There may even be some play dates in the future with Natalie, KJ, Miki and Holly. If you are looking for someone to LOVE your animals as much or more than you do. Call Natalie and KJ.

For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
My neighborhood is a great place for animals. It’s got plenty of green space and tons of fun things to do together! Whether that be heading out for a few games of fetch in one of the local parks, exploring the neighborhood together, or heading out for a big hike, there’s no shortage of adventures for us to have together. Of course, I’m always happy to accommodate any pup’s energy needs, whether that be lots of running around or just snuggles on the couch together!
