Pet care experience

Hello Dog Parents, My name is Natalie and I am 35 years old. I have been taking care and fostering dogs for almost 20 years now. I'm a very responsible and reliable nanny and I have always loved dogs. I have adequate experience caring for dogs- Medium breeds (25lb max) and lap dogs. I am also capable of handling dogs with special needs which may concern their diet like managing low-shed nutrition meals, vitamins and medical protein supplements. For an additional fee I can also administer medication. I walk dogs on mornings or on their fixed potty schedules and I responsibly clean up after them (Poop & Scoop) which all neighbors appreciate. I am enthusiastic and hard working. You can rest assure that your babies will be taken care of because this is my full time occupation. I live in Alhambra near the South Pasadena area, but I can also travel and pick up your dog for an additional travel fee. I'm available 24/7 365. I can also arrange outdoor weekend walks for your pet (price depends on time and place) and also keep veterinary appointments on schedule. Why I love dog sitting: Since childhood I wanted to take care of animals and have an animal sanctuary. About my yard: I do not have a back yard, but I do have a nice size front yard and a park right across the street and another park that is about an 15 minute walk. My experience administering medication: Yes. I have administer medication a few times to dogs in the past, cats and Iguanas. You may also refer my petsitting services to your friends & family and get a discount. Feel free to contact me if you have a unique pet care need. I have rabbit, reptile, and bird experience. All must be house trained and friendly with other animals and people because I usually care for multiple animals at once. Thank you for your consideration! I’ll be happy to provide references upon request. “When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.” -A.D. Williams

Natalie was FANTASTIC! She was very responsive, friendly, accommodating etc. Our pup had a great time and was absolutely exhausted after his 12 night stay (a good sign that he got lots of attention and exercise). I would highly recommend Natalie and will be using her in just a few weeks again!

I was nervous about boarding my cats for the first time, but Natalie was a huge comfort, to both me and my cats! They had their own special room, set up with all kinds of things that cats would love - and she kept me up to date with their activities and how they were settling in. It was a big relief! Would definitely recommend, and rebook with Natalie.

Natalie looked after our two cats while we were on vacation then moving. She has a whole cat room set up in her home but the cats were also free to roam around. Natalie is very caring towards all the animals she looks after. My cats were relaxed and calm when I picked them up and I would book again with Natalie for any future long term stays.

We appreciate Natalie so much! From the moment we met I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Leah with her. She is kind, a true animal lover and so patient! I would recommend Natalie 100%.

Information Natalie V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are friendly or shy pets and if they have any allergies. Or anything else I need to be aware of. Thank you!!

A typical day

First and foremost I will ask the pet parent, what the baby loves to do and if I should be aware of anything! I have a pet jungle gym that I set up for the babies. I also love to take walks to the park that’s literally right behind my house. Or to nearby parks that are a few minutes away, walking distance or we can walk around my neighborhood. And I also love to hang out and chill with all the baby at home and lots of pets’ too!
