Pet care experience

Feel at ease while you’re away.

I grew up in a family of dog lovers and when we all get together we definitely have quite the diverse dog pack (five furry cousins). I have experience with both young and older dogs and dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love spending time with all dogs, whether running, paddle boarding, walking or snuggling. If your dog has any medical needs, I would be comfortable making sure they take their medicine. I have a pretty flexible hybrid work schedule and would be glad to discuss and accommodate any special needs your dog might have. It would be my pleasure to take care or your pet while you are away or at work, and I look forward to meeting him/her.

Natalie did a great job with our girls, sending us pictures and assurances all was well. She was also flexible with her schedule, when we ended up returning home earlier than expected, due to severe storms in IA. Thanks, Natalie!

Natalie made our time away from home so comfortable. She sent updates and pictures often and made sure all of our animals were loved while we were away. We are so greatful for her willingness to be at our home and take care of our furry family. We are so grateful to Natalie and hope we can count on her once again in the future.

Natalie did a very nice visit (included 2 overnights) with my pups. They clearly enjoy her and she's great with keeping them company, understanding their personalities and taking them for walks/runs. So nice to know she was with them. On time, lots of picture updates too! Thank you Natalie!!

Let me know if your dog as an quirks like he/she likes to go out immediately after eating, or doesn’t get along well with stranger dogs, or likes a certain toy the best. I just want to make them as comfortable as possible while you’re gone.
