Hello! My name is Natalie and I I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was a teenager. In 2017 I was blessed to have adopted a senior pitbull named Brutus. I cared for him until he passed away in late 2021, due to cancer. My time with Brutus has allowed me to gain a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs. Since Brutus was in an abusive home, before adoption, he has a mild to mid case of separation anxiety. This has allowed me to gain a lot of experience when learning about dog behaviors and how to socialize and care for dogs who are highly reactive. My experience owning Brutus has also allowed me to gain more patience, empathy, and confidence in caring for pets. Around July 2024 I also started working for a pet sitting service that allowed me to work with a variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and rodents. Having this range of pet care has allowed me to care for a variety of animals and attune to their needs. Additionally, I am also able to administer medication and can accommodate for any exercise, food, or behavioral needs that are specified.
