Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious Home, so your pet(s) can definitely run around & tired themselves out. There is also a dog park(Bailey Lake Dog Park) that i like to go to with pets, so if you give me permission to & are friendly, I can take your pup(S) & they will have space to roam/run freely & play all throughout the park and/or with the other animals, if you allow it. I am very active so you don’t have to worry about if your pet is getting enough exercise or playtime with me. They’ll have a great time. With cats, I have toys and love to entertain &/or cuddle with them. For any other pets you may have, lizards, turtles, bunnies etc, I’ve taken care of them all the same.

Information Natalie V. would like to know about your pet

If the animal has any concerns I need to know of ahead of time, like not potty trained or has poop accidents inside my home. If not notified, a thirty five dollar charge will be added. If any medical issues, or medicinal needs like pills or injections, let me be notified before hand so I can take the best care of your pet. Is your pet friendly towards people & animals? How hyper or active are they, what’s their personality like? In saying all that, is the dog going to act aggressively towards me or others when you’re not around. Do they get along with/reactive with other dogs if we go on walks. Do they have any special needs, extra needing of attention, separation anxiety, etc.

A typical day

In my neighborhood, there are many areas I’d go on to take a long walk with your pet. I like to play fetch with a ball or stuffed toy to give the dog momentum & free time to get all the zoomies out. I keep poop bags & water on me so I’d clean up after them & also so your pup(s) won’t get dehydrated. For chill dogs or cats, we can just relax inside & cuddle.

Pet care experience

I have years worth of experience taking care of animals (dogs & cats mainly) personally because i’ve had many & truly loved them. I take take great pride caring for them & will treat any of them as if they were my own. I’ve also had some experience & worked at PetSmart in the Pets hotel/pet boarding area, a doggy day care facility in Florida & part-time care for elderly dogs at my community center. I took excellent care of the pets there, looked after them. So trust me, your pet(s) will be in great hands with me.

Wow! Natalie was the first person we ever let watch our pups besides family and close friends. But after 2 days, our pups didn’t want to leave Natalie! They had a blast. We just moved to the area and had a trip planned. Our first sitter had an emergency and I jumped on Rover and found Natalie! I am so glad I did! I needed someone within 24 hours and she was able to accommodate! Which with an 120 lb Great Pyrenees and an 11 month old Cavachon puppy! I have separation anxiety when it comes to my boys and I instantly felt at ease when meeting her! She checked in daily(morning and evening). When picking the dogs up, she had their things packed up and ready to go! It was such an easily and seamless trade off! Also, she had a crate large enough for our Great Pyrenees! Such a blessing to not have to bring one! I’m overly so impressed with her and how well they adapted to change in her care! Will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone I know!
