I am on summer break now and only pet-sitting. I’d love to help you care for your pets this summer! Reach out if you want to give your pet a little extra love this summer while at work, need someone to stop by to check on your cats while on vacation, or if you need a drop in/walk to break up a long day at home.I have mostly weekday availability but depending on your needs I might can do weekends as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I walk my own dog twice a day and believe fitness and stimulation are very important for all pets. I also run, if that is something your dog enjoys and is good on a leash. I’d love to come visit your pets to play, walk, run, fetch, and clean to help you navigate your busy schedule while loving your pets. If you have a senior dog or cat that just needs some company, I’d give them love and attention and spend time with them while I study for school (I have done this for people in the past, a win-win for both of us!).

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any preferences like not wanting to be pet on a certain part of their body, not comfortable being picked up, leash aggressive, or dog aggressive just in case there is an encounter on a walk or something of that nature.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, give them treats, walk, run (in the yard or if good on the leash for it), or even work on commands with them. I am constantly working with my own dog on new commands, if that’s something you want. I’d love to also provide company or love to dogs or cats who may not have as much high energy and just want someone to spend time with them. I am a lot stronger than I look and am used to walking big dogs at the animal shelter, however I would have difficulty with super large dogs that struggle with leash manners.

Had a great experience. My dogs were well taken care of and they seemed to love Natalie as well. Would recommend :)

I had a great experience with her caring for my cat. She stopped by to make sure my cat had plenty of food and fresh water, and she took the time to play with her and give her some attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

My pup loves Natalie! Our pup is typically suspicion and nervous around new people but she liked Natalie immediately. On time and excellent communication.

Natalie was an outstanding walker for my two dogs. She came by and met them prior to the walks just so that she could get to know them. She was always on time, very polite, and I would definitely use her again!
