Pet care experience
I am a free fun loving, active person that loves animals. Dogs are natural friends to me, we have a lot in common. I have taken care of family dogs, friend's and families dogs for years. I love to play, care for and stimulate pets so that they feel apart of the family.
Reviews
Natalie is a natural pet care giver. My dog Maggie is a rescue who has occasional behaviour challenges, Natalie can read her boundaries and they are great friends. Additionally she asks great questions to familiarize herself to my dog’s story which helps her better care for Maggie. It is so valuable to me to have a trusted friend look out for my dog when I am busy doing other things. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who wants top care to their pet while they are away. She is trustworthy and a great friend to all animals. Nat has watched Maggie for multiple days when we’ve been away and Maggie is always sad to leave Nat when we return!
Natalie was hired to watch my home and Pico - our very mischievous female cat - when I was called to work away for several months. Not only was the house in immaculate condition upon my return, but her care of Pico was excellent. Natalie made extra time for pet care so that Pico wouldn't feel estranged with her owner suddenly gone, which was a concern for me at the outset of my departure. Despite this, the two of them had formed a strong bond when I saw them interacting, which was reassuring and helped me feel at ease while being away. I would trust Natalie anytime to care for my home or pets in the future. She is caring, loves animals, and is a great communicator! 10/10
About Natalie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Exercise, discipline and cleanliness are my pet care core values. I love going for walks/runs outside. Your pet would be tagging along with me in the river valley for my daily run/walk. Although I don't let pets on the bed, my bed is 1 foot off the ground, so I will feel very close. Daytime naps/snuggles makes up for not being able to sleep with one another.

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what your rules and boundaries are for your dog so that they aren't forming bad habits with me. Any medical or special care items are also important to me.
A typical day
I am an extremely active person that frequents Edmonton's river valley and the Strathcona Science park. I love to walk, jog, and generally be outside. There is a park close to my home I walk to when I have had too much indoor time. I'm always game to throw a ball or disc for a pup and can easily transition to relaxation time to calm down. I enjoy talking aloud to dogs and sometimes read aloud to them whatever it is I am reading at the time.
