Pet care experience

Proud owner of a Golden! I grew up caring for dogs and treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether you need pet sitting, dog walking or dog boarding, I am here to ensure the safety of your dog as well as making sure he/she has the best time. Prior to dog boarding/sitting, I’ll set up a meet and greet so to ensure that your pup gets along with mine. There’s a small park a block away from my apartment where we can meet and if all goes well, I will take us to my apartment to see where your pup will have his/her staycation! About my apartment: - I have 3 large dog beds, a large dog crate and a large dog couch plus plenty of toys and treats! There is also a DIY treat station (see photos). - If boarding, I will only accept one dog at a time so I can dedicate my attention to your pup and mine. Unfortunately, I am unable to accept boarding requests that are longer than one week. Contact: Feel free to message me for any special requests, comments or questions. I want to make sure you feel completely comfortable with me before booking. Once booked, you can contact me 24/7 and I will promptly respond. Don’t except your pup to miss you too much though :) Social Media: If you’d like to see the pawsome life of my pup, check out his Instagram. I guarantee your dog will have just as much fun as he does! @barkin_brothers I will take lots of photos of your pup and send them to you! If your pup has an IG, please let me know the handle beforehand so I can tag them in any stories/posts that I post.

Natalie was absolutely amazing! She was always very flexible to my work schedule. She went out of her way to keep my little (very energetic) guy stay busy and have fun in her drop in visits! She even brought over Cooper when she could :) She helped me and my dogs transition to moving to Philly so much easier knowing I never had to worry about him when she was watching him! Absolutely recommend you have Natalie care for you furry baby!!

Natalie is awesome with Gizmo. We are new to the area and I was nervous trying out Rover in Philly, but after meeting Natalie and Cooper I was so relieved! My Gizmo is pretty skittish but Natalie and cooper was so gentle with her. I 100% recommend/trust Natalie with my little fur baby.

Natalie and her dog Cooper did a great job with Kepler. She sent many amazing pictures and kept us updated. We would definitely recommend Natalie to any other pup owners.

Natalie was very excited to take my little stinker into her home. She provided the best care I could’ve hoped for my pup, and he didn’t want to leave by the time his vacation was over. You can tell that Natalie cares deeply for all dogs/pets, and treats other people’s pets as if they were her own. I would certainly trust her again with my dog, and am incredibly pleased by the services that she provided. You won’t regret choosing her for any future day care or boarding services. Oh, and her dog Cooper is so friendly and loving.
