Pet care experience

A young scientist who loves doggos

Hiya, I’m Natalie! I've been raising, training, and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have experience caring for 60kg Bernese mountain dogs with special needs, to 3kg yorkies and I love them all! I have raised and trained 6 puppies and have cared for countless others. I have always been considered the reliable family/friend dog-sitter, never once saying no to a playdate. I am knowledgeable on how to care for all types of dogs and how to cater to their needs such as walks, bathing, medications, foods, and of course play time. I am a gastroenterology research scientist in the NHS (note: because of this, poo no longer phases me in the slightest). I work full time, however my hours can be flexible if needed and understand when things happen last minute, so I'm happy to accommodate. I love taking dogs to the park whenever possible in order to keep the house clean and tire them out as much as I can! I understand how to safely use harnesses, leashes, and leads and how to keep control of dogs when they're rowdy. I'm very active myself and have no problem matching their energy to ensure that your pup will be tuckered out after an exciting day.

Natalie is very kind and was not only free - on christmas day booked a day earlier which was amazing for me to go out & enjoy. I would definitely recommend her to look after your pup as i came home to a happy well looked after puppy with updates during the evening.

Natalie is a wonderful and trustworthy person. She accommodated us on short notice and with the heads up that we had a sickly dog that needed meds and more attention. She sent some pictures through the day and she is a pleasure to talk to. thank you so much again.

I’d appreciate knowing the breed, age, and approximate weight of the dog beforehand just so I know what I’m getting into! Being said, I’m completely comfortable with any type of dog. I’d also like to know if the dog has any species medical/dietary needs, as well as their activity level.
