Pet care experience
I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s).
Reviews
Thank so much Natalie❣️ I highly recommend Natalie. She was so good at keeping us up to date with photos, videos and how our dogs were doing overall. This was the first time using a house/dog sitter and it was a huge success. Natalie took care of our “fur baby” whom we adore as well as our sons dog who is so fearful. She gave us peace of mind. We will certainly enlist her again on our next adventure.
Natalie was on time, super sweet, knows what she’s doing, flexible, and most importantly was great with our pups on a very hectic weekend for us. We will definitely be returning clients!
Did a wonderful job with my puppy!
Natalie is so awesome. My fur babies loved her. I could tell by the photos and updates she sent me. She is kind, caring and trust worthy and I will be utilizing her services again for sure.

I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.
Information Natalie N. would like to know about your pet
A few things I want to know about your dog would include: Behavioral issues: Aggression during walks or shyness when socializing? Is there anything that would make your pet feel threatened, timid or nervous? What makes your dog's tail wag? (You can also book me at Wagging Tails Pet Care, LLC! It's my new business name!) Are there any food allergies or medications I should be aware of? Basically any other extra special care? Please, Give me a rundown of YOUR day-to-day routine with your petd!
A typical day
I love walking and running. After your pup is familiar with the leash, we can branch out to some fun dog parks, dog beaches, or even some trails! I would make sure your pup got all the exercise needed and to socialize with other humans or other dogs as well! A typical day would involve backyard potty time or a morning walk, followed by breakfast. Later on, we could head to a park or backyard to play fetch, tug-o-war, or just run around. If your dog can stay in a kennel then they will be left there when unattended and unsupervised for quick runs to the store. I will typically not leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours max. Unless you have a puppy. I love the outdoors and love to take fun furry companions with me! However, when those extreme heats hit (which we all know in East County and its sunny, hot weather), your dog should remain indoors where it's usually safer all around because I don't want burned paws or dehydration to occur on my watch!

Availability
I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions.
