Pet care experience

Pets are my LIFE!

I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years through family, friends, neighbors, and my own pets. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications, basic grooming, and caring for dogs of all ages from energetic pups to senior dogs who need extra patience and support. My childhood Bichon Frise lived to be 16½ years old, teaching me the importance of compassionate, attentive care. Today, I'm the proud dog mom of a Pit Bull/Australian Cattle Dog/Great Pyrenees mix that I adopted in 2021. Through extensive training with him, I've developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and positive reinforcement. He's such an important part of our family that he was even the ring bearer in my wedding! ❤️ I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and specific needs, whether that includes medications, dietary restrictions, crating, exercise requirements, or extra cuddles. I provide dependable care, close attention, and plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

I highly recommend Natalie as a dog sitter. She has been extremely reliable and attentive in caring for my English Bulldog, always making sure he gets outside regularly and stays on his routine. One of the things I appreciate most is her detailed daily reports, which keep me informed and give me peace of mind knowing he is being well cared for. Natalie is professional, consistent, and clearly takes pride in the service she provides. I am very grateful to have someone I can trust with my dog’s care.

It was first time with Milo, and she was very attentive. She stayed in communication the entire time, which I really appreciated, and based on the photos she shared, it looks like Milo really enjoyed her company.

Please let me know your pet's feeding schedule and portions, any dietary restrictions, medications, and a little bit about their personality. I also love learning about their typical daily routine so I can provide consistent, personalized care and help your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.
