One Acre and Lots of Love.
Pet care experience
My husband Matt and I are die hard animal lovers, and we've always had dogs in our home. We recently lost our beloved dog after nearly 16 years together. We have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, and we have an especially soft spot for senior dogs. We understand every animal's needs are unique, and often ever-changing. So whether yours is a bouncy puppy, or a wise one in their golden years, we are happy to accommodate anything your dog needs during their stay. We work from home full-time, so we are available to care for your dog all day, everyday. Your dog will have free roam of our home and fenced-in yard during their stay, and they can sleep wherever they like. They're part of the family, and can happily tag along on all of our comings and goings while they're here. We will love them just as you do, and we hope they will love returning to their home away from home again and again. Our single story home is located in the Oakland Hills, situated on 1 acre that is adjacent to Chabot Regional Park. There are endless miles of hiking trails just out our back door, so if your dog loves to hike or walk, we'll treat them to adventures daily. If you have a senior dog, or one who likes to get out but is less athletic, they will have the option to explore the trails in our special buggy.
Reviews
We highly recommend Natalie and Matthew. Our two senior dogs (14 and 15) were cared for with such great compassion and joy. Each update shared with us showed that they were living their best life, tails wagging, warm in a cuddled snuggle, happy watching wildlife, bounding down trails in a walk. Our dogs came home happy and content, their vacation as good as ours. Communication was professional, prompt and informative. We are so thankful to know we have a safe and fun place for our dogs in the future. What a beautiful surprise finding Natalie and Matthew- our dogs loved them.
Natalie & Matthew were fantastic with Dolly! I loved the photo updates and I could tell Dolly was incredibly comfortable there.
Natalie and Matthew are AMAZING! From quickly responding to our request, setting up a meet and greet, and the stay. They showed great care and understanding of our two dogs. It was obvious that Shadow and Chance felt comfortable through the pictures they sent during their stay. Shadow and Chance are already looking forward to their next stay with their new best friends! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to leave our dogs in their care. Thanks again Natalie and Matthew!
Natalie is our favorite pet sitter! She loves and cares for our animals as if they were her own. She pays close attention to my detailed instructions every time and never misses a thing. We have a senior dog with a lot of medication and rehabilitation needs and she takes care of it all easily. She's very sweet and reliable. 10/10 recommend!
