Hello Fellow Animal Lovers, My name is Natalie and I am a Petoskey resident with a cozy house near downtown. I live with two playful, yet gentle Lab mixes, Mooney & Jesús along with their loving dog-dad, Jake! Our house is 80% hardwood and very easy to clean. Our boys are crate trained and are very well behaved for still having puppy-energy! They do really well with their training-collars and stick close when we go on off-leash hikes/bike rides/beach trips. Both my partner and I love being outdoors as much as possible. We are so grateful to live so closely the Bear River Trails, NCMC Trail and downtown/waterfront area. We also frequent places like Wildwood Trails and Boyne Highlands Trails. A tired pooch is a happy pooch! I work at an Outdoor store on weekends but am given time to come let them outside, feed them, etc. during my shift. Jake works at a bike shop and on time off would be around to care for your pooch as well if i'm working. We both use positive reinforcement (with/out food rewards) training and are used to our keeping dogs engaged using simple training (sit, watch, wait, etc.). Dogs love being given jobs to do! I am here to accommodate to you and your pup's needs and make them feel as loved, stimulated and comfortable as they can whether i'm boarding or staying with them in your home. I am confident adhering to a schedule or any kind of regimen they may have. Trusting someone else with your furbaby is a responsibility I'm honored by and it means as much to me as it does to you. My goal is to love and care for your dog in hopes they won't even notice you're gone <3
