Pet care experience

Your dogs new best friend

I've been around dogs my whole life & currently have dachshunds of my own. I grew up with a Lab, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets for years, and I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I build my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible and get consistent attention throughout the day. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I'll care for them just like I do my own.

Natalie is an attentive and caring dog lover who always makes my pup feel at home. My dog loves how active she is when spending time with Natalie, giving her much needed exercise and stimulation. I cannot recommend her enough!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My dog Zeke , a very energetic and chaotic German Shorthaired Pointer, absolutely adores her, and honestly, she is the only person I fully trust to care for him. GSPs are not easy dogs, and Zeke especially can be a lot to handle, but she is endlessly patient, understanding, and so good with him. She doesn’t just “watch” him — she genuinely understands his personality, works with his energy, and gives him so much love and attention. Every time Zeke stays with her, I know he is safe, happy, and cared for like family. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who truly gets him. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and incredibly capable with dogs of all temperaments — especially the wonderfully chaotic ones.

Natalie has been amazing with my dog, Walter. She cares so much about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. She takes him to the dog park, sends the cutest pics, and always goes the extra mile to make sure he has water, toys, and everything he needs before she leaves. Her communication is so good!!

I highly recommend Natalie for dog walking and pet care. She’s responsible, punctual with everything, and genuinely a caring person with animals. As a lifelong dog owner, she understands how to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. She has personally watched my dog for every vacation we take and my dog loves her. Any dog would be in great hands with her.

Pets

A typical day

I love making sure every dog has a fun, safe, and enriching visit. We'll go on walks around your neighborhood or a nearby park, get plenty of exercise, play their favorite games, and enjoy lots of love and attention. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll tailor every visit to their personality and routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you're away.

Please let me know about your dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before the visit. I'd love to know their favorite activities, walking habits, feeding schedule, medications, commands they know, and whether they're comfortable around other dogs or people. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, stress-free experience and make them feel right at home.
