Pet care experience

I have had cats, dogs, and fish since I was little, and took care of my neighbors' & friends' pets (even goats) since I was a teenager. I love animals and miss my dog so much! I go to school online, so I am quite flexible with time. I can work around you. If you need long-term care, I am able to bring my work to your home. I do not want to bring any pets back to my home because there are many dogs there and I do not want to risk a fight, however, I am happy to come to your home.

Navi and Kapu stayed with our dogs for a couple of weeks and made themselves at home, watering the plants, cooking, and the dogs quickly became their family. They didn't just walk them twice a day. They drove around the island, taking the dogs into the woods, through the forests, swimming in the sea, morning runs, fetch, and on. They were very active and cared beautifully for our pets and home. Thank you again! I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about my dogs being well cared for when I was away. My home was left cleaned up nicer than I left it. Thank you guys.

Fun, kind and very active couple who took our pups on hikes and long walks! The dogs seemed very happy and well-exercised. Sitters provided frequent updates and photos. Would hire again!

Natalie was great with my kitties! I do kitty rescue/rehab and at the time, had 20 plus cats in my care. Natalie took on the challenge and handled it with ease. She updated me daily, and took pictures, even though I had told her she didn’t have to. She noticed when one of the kitties wasn’t eating well, and made some adjustments to help her feel better, get back into routine, and eating normal. The kitties were stressed with the change in routine, and left unpleasant messes that Natalie handled with patience and grace. With care ending and Natalie leaving on her own trip, she followed all of my anxious directions for ‘worse case scenario’ if my plane was delayed (which it was). When I got home, the kitties still had food, and the litter boxes were relatively clean (for being on their own for 2 days) which meant she had prepped them well. It wasn’t the easiest gig, but Natalie handled it great. As person, Natalie is positive and compassionate, and lovely to work with. I would recommend her for any pet care services needed.

Natalie does a great job taking care of all animals. She is an easy-going, go-with-the-flow type of person and has great communication skills. I would always feel at ease having her take care of our animals. 100% would recommend.

According to the homes of the client, I let the dogs out in fenced in areas and leash them beyond. I can crate if needed when I leave.

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dogs eat people food. What makes them aggressive--quick hand movements, triggers, big dogs, etc. How are they with other dogs? Dogs behave differently when their humans aren't around. If they pee in the house, where do you keep spray to clean up?

A typical day

There are many, many smells outside, so I like to take them on a stroll where they lead and smell around, exploring. For some heart pumping, I take the dog on a run or brisk walk (based on dogs' capability). I love hiking and swimming, so if your dogs do too, we all go!

I work part time and go to school. Everything I do is virtual. In between calls and books, I try to get some exercise in outside. That works well with dogs bc I stay at the house most of the time and get the dogs out when I do.
