Pet care experience
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. I am also able to administer medication and can accommodate for any exercise, food, or behavioral needs that are specified.
Reviews
Natalie was amazing. She kept us up to date on our dog and sent photos. Our dog had a few issues during her stay, and Natalie handled it all well. Maggie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. We are so thankful to have found Natalie and highly recommend her!
Natalie was very responsive and took great care of Fran while I was out of town!
The was ChiChi's third time staying with Natalie. Natalie is caring, loving and attentive to ChiChi"s needs. I'm able to relax while traveling knowing that ChiChi is with Natalie. Natalie will continue to be my first choice when looking for a pet sitter.
Natalie was amazing! My dog was very comfortable with her the second they met, and so was I! I’d definitely recommend Natalie and would love for her to have Samba back next time. Thanks Natalie!

Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is pretty small so even though I'm working I'll be in eye sight of your pup. They'll be able to lay on the couch and on my bed. I also have some spare dog items if you forget something or your pup needs any extra items.
Home
Information Natalie W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any traits or needs that I should look out or be aware of (ex. scared of bigger dogs, separation anxiety, irregular bladder, etc.) I want to make sure I make every dog feel special during their stay and would like to accommodate their needs.
A typical day
I live in an apartment so if your dog needs to be ran or have outside time there is a park near my house. There's also areas to do long walks and potty.
