Pet care experience

Excited to Meet You! 🐶🐱

Hi! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I strive to provide the best possible care, ensuring you beloved pets feel comfortable and happy. 

I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. As a born and raised Jersey girl with strong ties to family and friends, I plan on staying in the Hoboken area long-term. This makes me a consistent and loyal option for your pet’s needs.

 My patience and attention to detail ensure that each pet receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

I know these are your babies, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Excited to meet your four-legged friends!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pup! I had to travel for four days, and from the very first moment, Natalie made both of us feel at ease. Her home is warm, spotless, and welcoming—the perfect environment for a pup to settle in. She was so patient and understanding, especially on the first day when my pup was a little anxious. Her calm and positive approach helped my pup adjust beautifully. Throughout the stay, she followed every instruction with such care and kept me updated with videos and pictures of every meal and walk. Seeing my pup happy, calm, and well taken care of gave me complete peace of mind. Natalie is kind, reliable, and truly loves what she does. I feel very lucky to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy sitter!

Natalie was awesome! She made sure our dog Roo felt right at home! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos / videos to show how much fun Roo was having!

Juno was well cared for with her new bestie, Natalie. We saw lots of videos and pics- which was so reassuring. We will definitely be booking with Natalie again.

Natalie was absolutely amazing! My little guy can be quite a nervous pup, especially around new people, but he settled right in with her. Natalie sent so many adorable pictures and videos throughout her time with him that there was never a moment of worry he wasn’t in excellent hands. It was clear she has a natural way with animals and made him feel safe and comfortable!

Natalie was amazing with my rescue dog who has anxiety. She took the time to understand him and his issues. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. Gizmo enjoyed his vacation, as much as we enjoyed ours!

Safety, trust & environment

Here’s what you can expect: My home is a cozy, easily accessible one-bedroom apartment. There is a bus stop right outside with plenty of space to drop off your pet for boarding needs. It is a four-story walk-up, and I love taking frequent walks outside myself, ensuring your pet will have plenty of exercise and fresh air. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment. You won’t find any food within reach of a four-legged friend, keeping the space safe. Just one block away, there is a park with ample space for sniffing and bathroom breaks. For pets that enjoy socializing, a large dog park awaits just a five-minute walk away, providing even more opportunities for fun and interaction. Your pet will have a wonderful time in a safe, clean, and active environment!

A typical day

I'll ensure plenty of fun and exercise for your pets! We'll enjoy walks throughout the day. There's a nearby park just a block away where they can meet other dogs, and if your pet loves extra socializing, there's a dog park a quick five-minute walk from my place. Please bring your dogs favorite toys and treats!

Understanding your pet's behavior beforehand is crucial for a smooth experience. For boarding, I accommodate dogs who have no to occasional barks in order to not disrupt my neighbors and maintain the quiet environment. Fully house-trained is preferred. If your pet occasionally pees when excited, just let me know so I can prepare accordingly. Thank you!
