Information Natalie & Michael V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or unique behaviors so I can provide the best care possible. Understanding their routine, likes, dislikes, and any triggers will help me keep them happy and comfortable. I don’t have a specific breed preference. I welcome all dogs, big or small, as long as they’re friendly and get along with others!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active! We'll enjoy daily walks in the morning and evening, with plenty of sniffing and exploring along the way. For playtime, I offer games like fetch, tug-of-war, or chase in my secure backyard. For dogs that love mental stimulation, I can engage them with puzzle toys or work on fun training exercises. On weekends, I take pets on longer walks or hikes to keep them energized and entertained. Whatever your dog loves most, I'll tailor activities to their needs and personality!

Pet care experience

I've been passionate about dogs my entire life, growing up in a dog-loving home and now caring for two of my own. As a volunteer with the Palm Springs Animal Shelter's puppy team, I’ve gained hands-on experience with training and caring for pups of all temperaments. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or in need of extra attention, I’ll ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Brooklyn, My happy Golden Retriever, absolutely loved her stay with Natalie and Michael. I had to have some construction work done at our house so needed a place for Brooklyn to stay. Natalie and Michael are both so warm and welcoming- you can instantly tell that they love dogs. I received regular updates and great communication from them. They live in a wonderful dog-friendly community with lots of space for walks and play. It was a perfect match for Brooklyn and she cannot wait to return.

Natalie watched our Siberian Husky mix twice while we explored Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. She was awesome to work with and took great care of our older dog, who is on a few meds. We received several pictures each day and Blance was clearly happy when we picked her up and super excited when we dropped her off the second day, so we know she had a great experience.
