This flexibility allows me to give your pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve without rushing or distractions. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well-attended to at all times. I follow your pet’s established routines closely—meal times, potty breaks, and preferred walking routes—to help them feel relaxed and at ease while you’re away. I’m fully insured for pet care, which means you can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is protected. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort level, and I’m always mindful of their surroundings during walks or visits. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for every animal I care for—because they deserve nothing less. 🐕🐈💛

Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet

Important to Know 🐾 Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routines, and preferences. Please share any details about their feeding schedule, favorite toys, walking routes, and comfort items. It’s also helpful to know if your pet has any allergies, medical needs, anxiety triggers, or special instructions for training or behavior. The more I know, the better I can provide safe, consistent, and loving care that fits your pet’s unique needs. 💕🐕🐈

A typical day

Fun Activities 🐾 I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! Depending on their energy level and personality, we’ll enjoy walks, playtime with toys, gentle brushing, training games, or cozy cuddle time. I also make sure to give lots of affection, positive attention, and mental stimulation—because a happy, tired pet is a healthy one! 🐶🐱💛

Pet care experience

Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies learning good habits to gentle senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take time to get to know each one’s unique routine, preferences, and comfort level. I’m skilled at reading animal body language, managing leash behavior, administering basic medications, and creating a calm, safe environment—whether on a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine connection with animals. I treat every pet like my own—with plenty of care, consistency, and cuddles! 🐶🐾

Natalie would be an ideal caregiver for your furry friends, Not only is she highly empathetic to an animal's needs, she is also a loving kitty mom and a highly educated and mature business professional. Unlike fly-by-night pet sitters, Natalie has a lifetime of history in the area. She is responsible, direct and compassionate, and I trust her to care for my two cats and exceedingly large German Shepherd. As a paranoid pet "mom", I know Natalie will go above and beyond in caring for my furry ones, and I can travel without worry when she is around and available. If you line in the Chico area, you cannot go wrong with hiring Natalie

Natalie has great energy and loves spending time outdoors. She’s a pup lover and enjoys spending time with animals. Natalie recognizes that not everyone has the time or ability to get their doggies exercise and does a great job letting dogs release some energy. I trust her with my lab and I know she’ll take great care of her while on a walk.

Natalie is a great dog walker and pet sitter. Two big thumbs up. My dog and cats give her two paws up as well. Highly recommended!
