Rumpus Time = All The Time!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Natalie, my family and I welcome all the slobber! Myself, my fiancé and our 8yo daughter are always excited to meet new furry friends, and open up our home to them! We currently have three dogs ourselves, two cats, a bearded dragon, a potbelly pig AND a cow! Unfortunately the pig in the cow don’t live at home, but we see them often! If you choose me to take care of your baby I’m sure you’ll get to know me a little bit better, but here is just a little bit about me! I've had dogs my whole life and I used to work with the Great Dane Rescue going and dog sitting for some of the members that have rescued the dogs and I have also had the privilege of working with show dogs! Whether it be socializing/training them as puppies or going and taking care of them and watching them while their parents are away, and of course showing them! I have also volunteered at various animal shelters over the years just to give some loves! I love all dogs and really hope that I get the opportunity to reach my #1 on my bucket list….PET ALL THE DOGS! ALL OF THEM! 😁
Reviews
First time having a housesitter, Natalie was great, very conscientious, and great with our Golden
Natalie came by my house and meet the dogs ahead of time, which was much appreciated! They were tired when I get home - another bonus. I had Natalie only watch them for 5 hours and was still charged a overnight fee for both dogs. It was expensive, but she did a great job.
I have a German short hair pointer and wherever Natalie comes over, he is the most obedient dog I have ever seen. It's like she's a dog whisperer. I fully trust her to take care of, and to watch not only my dog but my son as well.
We've always hired Natalie to watch our pets while we are away and absolutely love her. Ace and Ellie are always excited to see her, as they know they will be well taken care of and even spoiled. :) We also know a few of her other clients and have gotten to see her interactions with other animals. She has become part of our family.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced in yard, however we have three tie outs for our dogs and they are never left out there for more than 10 minutes unless we are outside! I am very conscious about the weather when it comes to the dogs. Seeing as two of my dogs I have the ability to get sunburnt and the other one would lay outside all day if I would let her, we are very careful about it!

Information Natalie M. would like to know about your pet
I would of course like to have a meet and greet first just to make sure your dog likes me, I already know I’ll love them! Also though, to let them smell my dogs on me of course! Other than that, the only things I really need to know are if they get along with other dogs/cats and if they like children, our daughter is eight and she respects everyone’s space, especially dogs! I also need to know if your dog is weary of men, my fiancé is a huge dog lover like myself, but he does wear hats and he has a big beard and both of us know that not all dogs are a fan of those things and need some time to warm up! That way he just knows what to do, say when he comes home from work every day, to not scare your pupper! We just want to make sure that we take care of your baby the best we can with as little stress as possible, because new places are scary sometimes! ?
A typical day
Well it’s always playtime at my house, there are always toys everywhere and our youngest, Jax, is a complete busybody and will play with almost anything and anyone! My dogs are very good at keeping themselves busy while I’m working, but they get let out often and on my breaks I always play with them if they’re not sleeping! After work or when the Dad gets home they like to go outside and play and we go for walks, and LOTS of car rides and car shows! We love to go to the dog park, but if that’s something your dog isn’t a fan of we don’t have to!

I work from home! So, if I am hanging out with your baby at my house they have free reign and get let out often! As far as walks and drop in visits go, my schedule varies every week but I can usually make it work!
