Pet care experience
My appreciation and respect for animals started when 1 day my extended family came home with the cutest Pomeranians who then had puppies and then those puppies had pups! They became family and we would babysit each other's fur baby. I loved having a dog because I love being outdoors, running, and exploring. I'm looking forward to making new memories and exploring more beaten paths with your fur baby :) I appreciate all animals, that being said, I've enjoyed the company of some adorable cats. My approach is to give them space and let them come to me when they please. My baby boy, Simba is 2 years old, he is baby friendly, and protective of my girls around strangers, he adores my daughter's. He sleeps next to them every night and during the day he follows them around and enjoys watching them play. I love how each animal has a unique personality and you can be sure that I will be attentive to those traits so ensure the best possible care and love for them.
Reviews
I have booked with Natalie twice now. Once was under very short notice due to a sudden family emergency. She did a great job both times, and it was great to not be stressed about my cat's well-being while on my trip.
Natalie took great care of my cat, Hiss-a-belle. Even spent time to play with the cat and brush her. Could not be more happy.
Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!
Went above and beyond when the power went out at my place, always takes fantastic care of my kitties :)

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for pets in their homes, so they are more comfortable and less anxious. Also, I reside in a small apartment that's not compatible to care for animals besides my 1 cat. In each client's home I am respectful of belongings and careful to keep everything as clean as possible when serving pet's food and water. I'm comfortable changing litter boxes, picking up after dog's stools and discarding appropriately. I am comfortable administering pet's medications as well. I'm more than happy to give your pet an appropriate amount of affection and love because I'm sure they are anxious to see their parents soon. Pets are like family members and will be treated as such, under my care.
Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know of any allergies, recent surgeries, age, and temperament of your baby. This will allow me to take more caution, for example, to avoid stairs or be more vigilant and cautious if there are stairs in the home that your baby has access to.
A typical day
We will have so much fun going on walks on local paths and local parks. Montgomery Village has several parks and lakes to explore! Your baby will always have a leash and collar placed securely while under my responsibility. Safety is my priority and safe fun is the goal. That being said, for walks on hot sunny days, I will avoid hot pavements and bring your baby on a grassy, foresty adventure! My go to would be this foresty lake area in Germantown by waters landing that provides perfect amount of shade and tranquility.

Availability
I have a flexible schedule working for Door Dash at this time and so I have time in between to dog walk and pet care because Door Dashing is usually for mealtimes and I usually only Door Dash in the evening when it is most busy. Door Dash allows me to make my own schedule and therefore I do not get penalized for missing a shift. I am happy to accommodate my schedule to the pet's needs.
