Pet care experience
Dog staycation paradise
***AWAY IN JUNE, WILL BE BACK IN JULY*** 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
Natalie did a great job watching my dog, also named Luna! She had great communication and sent pictures of the two Lunas together to keep me updated. She learned about Luna before she came so she could prepare and make her comfortable. I recommend Natalie for any pup sitting!
Natalie did a great job watching my dog Greta while I was at work. Greta was a very happy pup after spending a fun filled day with Natalie and her dog Luna.
Natalie was attentive and easy to communicate with. She made sure she learned about my dog before caring for him and kept me updated the entire time. Definitely recommend!
Natalie was great! Our dog Stevie was so happy there. Her and Luna were buddies and would definitely recommend and use them again! Natalie sent pictures and gave us updates so we almost knew she was happy and safe.
Natalie was a great host — super communicative and sent several pics and updates for our pup’s overnight stay. Her dog, Luna, is also super friendly and great with guests. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Natalie is an incredibly responsible and compassionate pet caregiver who truly treats every animal as if they were her own. She is attentive, patient, and reliable, always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly trust Natalie with any pet!

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.
