I work a hybrid schedule where I am in office 2-3 days per week (mon-wed) and remote 2-3 days per week (some Mondays and every Thur Fri). There is another adult in the home who is often available for mid-day potty breaks and play breaks on those couple days I am gone. During the summer I have even greater availability.

I have a large fenced in yard with two of my own fur babies who are so gentle and playful if your dog enjoys company.

My home has multiple living spaces and my two dogs are crate trained as well.

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any resource guarding behavior or specific fears so that I may keep him/her comfortable during their stay. Also, if there's any particular destructive type of behavior to watch out for (ex. loves to chew shoes or dig holes) let me know so I can proactively deter this from happening. Also, what is your pet's favorite activity!? I want us to have FUN together.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy playing enrichment games using snuffle mats and toys in the yard. We do 10-15 minutes of training on manners and tricks at least 3-4x a time a day. There's two other furry friends that would love to frolic with your dog as well if desired. Depending on weather, a walk around the neighborhood park is in store.

Doggy Vacay

Pet care experience

Book your dog a vacation with me at my Doggy Vacay, while you vacation! I have fostered and boarded pups of all ages and breeds. I have a real love for training and rehabilitating pups to be a blessing to their families. I keep pets on a routine and am familiar with enrichment activities. My home will be your dog's home away from home where they will be spoiled with love, play time, and trained on manners using only positive encouragement.

100% will have Natalie in mind for any future possibilities. She LOVES what she does and she does it to perfection. I couldn’t be more appreciative of how well she took care of my Charlie! ❤️

Natalie was great, she recommended a meet n greet the day before so Bucky could meet her and her dogs. Bucky has a great time for the week we were gone and Natalie provided pics and videos almost every day. Bucky was exhausted when he got home. It was a pleasant experience.
