Pet care experience

Born with a passion for animals!

As the daughter of two veterinarians, I not only grew up surrounded by animals, but had firsthand experiences that taught me how to best love and care for them. In my household we always had 2-3 dogs and more than one cat. I helped care for my own pets ever since I was old enough to, and assisted my parents with general pet care in the clinic. I have worked kennels and boarding, helped provide medication, and learned so much about animals in the process. I puppy trained and house-trained a dog throughout high school, dealt with behavioral issues in a few dogs, and administered oral medications to both dogs and cats. In my college home, I lived alongside my roommates’ two large dogs and several stray cats that we fostered. Since I've recently moved to Raleigh I adopted a cat of my own, and it has been an incredible experience. We are currently harness training and I am learning so much valuable information in the process. I am so excited to care for your pets and to treat them with as much care as I do the animals in my life.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pets with the same amount of love, care, and patience as I do my own. While my own home is not adequate to house your pets, this allows me to care for your animal in the comfort of their own space. I will provide your pet with the companionship that you would if you were home including plenty of cuddles and love, exercise (we can run if needed!), and medications and food if needed.

Natalie was wonderful! She was very patient and sweet with our two dogs, who can be timid with new people. They warmed right up to her, and she was very communicative throughout the weekend she stayed with them. Highly recommend!

Natalie has been great with my dog! Her walks are a welcome reprieve when I’m in the office and I always get a full rundown of how things went.

Natalie did a great job taking care of my pups for a weekend. She was very responsive and was there when she said she would be. The dogs were always happy to see her. I’m definitely checking her schedule first next time I go out of town.

Natalie took care of my 1 year old dog Dallas while I was away for a week. Dallas is usually quite timid so I was nervous to leave him alone but Natalie did an amazing job!! She updated me through the week with pictures and videos. She was caring and patient with Dallas. I will definitely be using her again!! Would 100% recommend Natalie as a pet sitter for any animal.

Schedule

As a graduate student, I only have classes in the evenings, which leaves me with plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pets. I can visit your home multiple times a day and have lots of availability during the day. I would prefer not staying more than 2-3 nights for house sitting because of my own pet🥰

Let me know ahead of time what type of exercise or play your pet usually engages in and what feeding or medication they need! I would love to care for your pet the same way you and in the way that makes them most comfortable!
