Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If in my own home your pet will get their own room as well as having no interaction with the other pets (at your discretion) as well as only using food and items provided by the owner. If I do an in home care I am extremely respectful of other people places I will not bring anyone else over I will exclusively be there to care for the animals and that applies to dog walking as well. I intend to build good relationships with my clients as to build a good repertoire for my Vet school applications

Information natalie w. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs, diets, or other accommodations that may need my attention prior to booking. I truly appreciate good client communication to best provide my services for your pet and look forward to caring for your animal
A typical day
A typical week day would consist of me waking up around 8 to feed and refill a water bowl of the pet, as well as to either let out a dog or check in on a cat. After i will head to my classes for the day and come back in the afternoon to play with and socialize the animal(s). Feeding again if required as well as cleaning out any litter box, taking out a dog again if required, and doing homework in the play room so the animal can be close by if they need anything. in the evening if I’m out on errands I’ll return home to feed and walk the animal(s) once more. On weekends the schedule will be roughly the same with minor differences as I do my volunteering instead of classes.

Pet care experience
I’ve owned dogs for my whole life as well as rabbits, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve professionally cared for cats, dogs, and horses as well as being a part time volunteer at the RHSPCA in my free time where I do dog walking , cat socializing, and working in the animal clinic I have experience caring for both senior dogs and cats as well as experience administering topical and oral medications for both kinds of pets. I am also able to house calmer large dogs however I know i unfortunately cannot provide adequate exercise for high energy dogs as I am a full time summer student so I will not be at the house sometimes for a few hours at a time in the early morning. I am happily able to care for any breed of dog or cat as well as any care level however with animals on specially timed diets or routines may not work in my schedule so please message me to check in! Please feel free to message me at any time as often as needed, I will always have my notifications on and will at the latest respond within a day and will do my very best to be able to accommodate most, if not all animals <3

Reviews
We are very grateful for Natalie! She takes great care of my best buddy while I am in the office, and is super communicative and reliable! 10/10
An absolute life saver when I needed a last second booking this weekend!! 💯
Natalie did a great job watching my large dog while I was in town visiting family for a funeral. It was extremely convenient my dog was well cared for and happy.
She is very reliable. She also communicates if something is not right with the dogs, which I very much appreciate. She is excellent. I would recommend her to everyone.
