Pet care experience

My life has always included fur babies... My experience of loving and taking care of pets began when I was a toddler and I understand the unique needs for all pets. Whether you have a puppy, a small or large adult dog(s), my disciplined training skills, precise administration of medications and exceptional care for your fur child includes a daily walks and play time for their well being... in addition to lots of attention and love from me! I am committed to making sure your beautiful fur child is well taken care of while you are away! PLEASE NOTE: I have a Siamese cat who is great with dogs, so for boarding, your dog must not want to eat or harm her. :)

Wow! Like any pet owner, I am always nervous when trying someone new, but Natalie was AMAZING! She put my mind at east right away. She sent regular photos, updates, and made it clear she was enjoying the time spent with my pups. What more could a proud fur mamma want! She even left my home cleaner than it was before and went above and beyond by making sure my bed would be ready upon my return from may late flight. I cannot recommend Natalie enough. I will for sure ask her to help out with Ruby and Jack again. Thank you so much Natalie!

Natalie is a phenomenal care giver. Our girls love her and she is wonderful about sending both videos and photos throughout the day as she cares for them; she is very attentive to our pets special needs. The girls were happy and content upon our return. Additionally our house was spotless, and Natalie even washed and changed the sheets for us. We would truly recommend her services to anyone in need.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm extremely competent at administering medications as per your request and directive. Daily medications and special diets will be continued exactly as instructed. While boarding with me, one daily walk (can be 2 shorter walks if needed), play time, love and attention will abound whether boarding or sitting. I have a small/med sized fully fenced yard, so your fur baby will be happy and safe at my home… don’t forget, I have a cat. While boarding, I offer 1 kennel (as needed), 1 bed and 2 bowls so you don’t have to worry about lugging everything with you, making the drop off and pick up easy.

Information Natalie W. would like to know about your pet

What triggers does your dog(s) have? Motorcycles, skateboards, fireworks, cats, etc... do they get agitated in certain situations or environments and what method of distraction (training) do you use to soothe them? Have you been through dog training? Are they crate trained? How strict are you with training and finally, what motivates your pet? Finally, in case I forgot to mention, I have a cat… so if you choose to board here, your dog must not want to eat my cat. (:

A typical day

Every dog is as unique as we are and I am committed to offering your fur child the love I gave my own, while paying attention to their special needs and your requests. One 30 minute afternoon or evening walk (which ever you like) will be offered... or I can break them up into 2 shorter walks (am/pm) as per your request. Additional walks can be added to this service for an additional fee. I'm happy to discuss this in detail during our meet and Greet. PLEASE NOTE: I have a knee injury and although walking a well behaved dog is fine, I am not able to walk a dog who needs constant correcting during their walk.

Availability

My main business is busy and I am there most of the day T-F with a long afternoon break T-TH, but no break on W/F. I will be available to care for your fur baby in the morning and evening in your house or mine, an afternoon break for your fur baby will be available every day except W/F. I love to bring well behaved dogs into my business and my clients also enjoy seeing them, if you approve. One daily walk during sitting is part of my service and I'm happy to collect mail, water plants and make sure you come home to a clean house.
