Dog staycation paradise
***only accepting new clients on a case by case basis depending on availability*** I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and my love for pets has only grown stronger over the years. I am currently working on a masters in wildlife conservation, which reflects my deep love for all animals. Caring for pets isn't just something I do - it's something I genuinely love. I currently have a 6 year-old Golden Retriever who’s the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, so your pup will be in excellent company. She loves a good nap just as much as a game of fetch (ball is life for Luna). My family members and I have had dogs all our lives, so I understand each pup has its own personality, needs, and routines. I always have an initial meetup before any boarding or daycare so I can get to know your dog's routine and needs before they stay with me. It's my priority to make sure your dog is so loved and comfortable while you're away that the days just fly by for them! I live in a house with my boyfriend, and we both work full-time from home, so there is always someone in the house. We therefore have the flexibility to meet each dog where they're at and make sure they have the best time during their staycation. We have a small fenced in backyard for playtime, and several open parks along our walking route. I can offer potty breaks and walks as often as needed, and am open to whatever is part of your dog's routine. My goal is to love your dog like they're my own so they always have a safe, cozy, second home to stay in when you're away!

Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie. She was so communicative throughout Lenny's stay, kept me updated with photos and daily happenings during the day, and I could tell she treated and cared for him as much as she does her own dog, Luna. Thank you so much for caring for Lenny so well and giving me peace of mind when I was out of town. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a sitter and will certainly be asking her to watch Lenny again in the future. Thank you so much!!
My trip was peaceful knowing that Natalie was providing great care for Luna. Natalie also kindly accommodated last minute changes in my travel, and shared daily photos of Luna at her boarding. I’m thankful for Mr the loving service.
Natalie was great! Neyland clearly had a great weekend with her and Luna! He was a very tired pup when he got home!
Natalie took great care to learn our pup’s routines and was very patient with her as she transitioned to the new environment. She also kept us posted on how things were going and made sure Luna and our pup were getting along well. We feel very at ease leaving our dog with her!
I reached out to Natalie last minute and she was super responsive took amazing care of Zoey I would highly recommend her.
Natalie, was sweet, highly communicative and attentive to Milano. I would definitely use her to sit him again.

Schedule
My boyfriend and I work from home full-time, so there is always someone at the house. On weekends, I like to take extra long walks with my dog, or go for a special treat!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a small, fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, plus several open parks along my regular walking routes for fresh air and exercise. Inside, I create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home. They’re absolutely welcome on the furniture for snuggles. This is a pet-loving household through and through! I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pup thrives on routine or needs extra attention, I’m happy to accommodate as long as I know what works best for them.

A typical day
I work from home, and my boyfriend does as well, so there’s almost always someone here to keep your pet company. This means lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day - no long stretches alone. On weekends, we like to take extra long walks when it's nice out, or go for a special treat. Your pet will get plenty of interaction, playtime, and care woven naturally into our daily routine. I take my dog out to potty four times a day (two of those are walks), but am flexible to whatever your dog is used to! If you'd like, I'm also happy to send you regular text updates and pictures throughout the day so you're up to date on how your pup's doing.

- To provide the best possible care, I’d love to learn about: - Daily routines (feeding, walks, sleep habits) - Any allergies or dietary restrictions - Medications or special health needs - Behavioral tendencies (e.g., anxiety, reactivity, triggers) - Fun quirks or preferences (favorite toys, habits, etc.) The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home.
