I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals and have been passionate about their well-being since childhood. Caring for animals isn't just my profession—it's truly part of who I am. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, providing feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, companionship, and lots of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive individualized attention, compassion, and exceptional care while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's routines, preferences, health needs, and any specific instructions you may have. Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me. I respect that welcoming someone new into their home can be stressful for some animals, so I work patiently to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, they will always receive my undivided attention and care. I believe caring for animals is one of the greatest acts of service we can give to the world, and I would be honored to care for your furry family members. For more information about me and my work with animals, please visit my Facebook page: Natalie Marie and send me a friend request or message. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

After the ground rules are laid out, I like to get to know the pet and let the pet get to know me. A stranger coming into its domain can be a lot for some pets, and I respect that. Therefore, I want to make sure the pet (and owner) know I’m a friend and can be trusted.

Natalie was patient and accommodating with Oski. She always kept me up to date with plenty of photos and would not hesitate to rebook her again!

Natalie is an excellent animal and house sitter. She exceeds all expectations that I would have had for anyone taking care of our multiple pets. We actually could have a vacation and a rest away, without thinking about our animals, who seem to have had a blast without us. Natalie cares deeply about the animals and will be a thoughtful, bright and very attentive caretaker of your animal(s). Giuseppe R . Ronkonkoma

Wonderful with our big boy! Sparky can be a handful, and Natalie's confidence in him made me so comfortable leaving him with her. She was great about communication, sent pictures of his happy self, and took great care of Sparky. We'll definitely use you next time we're camping! Thanks again :)

Natalie watched our puppy, Ellie while we were on vacation. She gave us updates and photos of her every day. She has such a loving and caring attitude towards all the animals she watches. She genuinely loves her job and takes it very seriously. Millie C
