Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & considerate pet carer
Caring for animals have always been a passion for me since I was a kid, I take so much pride and joy in caring for them and almost see them as my own pets as I understand how much it means to you. I’ve been a Cinnamon Trust dog walker and carer for 4+ years and have many experience looking after dogs of family, family friends, and via the trust as well. The longest running member of the trust I walk is Barney, if you are local to Kingston you might have possibly seen us before at Richmond Park! (He’s the lovely pup on my profile) Barney didn’t know a lot of commands because he’s an old boi and a rescue, but I’ve manage to train him to do ‘sit’ at least! I provide dog walking, house sitting and check-ins 😊 Whilst my core service is house sitting, I’ll definitely try to accommodate any walking / check-ins whenever possible. Also I am defo a good ol’ fun goofing around with the pups but also happy to just chill on the couch with them ☺️ If you prefer me to pet sit or visit regularly whichever works best at yours, I’m also happy to look after your plants - give them a nice water and cats too!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a ground floor flat with a secured fences garden that’s good size. And the 2nd bedroom is my spare room/ art room so if your dog prefers a room to themselves I can accommodate that as well 👍 My flat uses electric hob instead of gas, also fire extinguishers, and no plants dangerous to your lovely cat and dog :) However, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me :)
Ratings and reviews
Nat was wonderful with my two dogs, and I've already booked her for other days. She sent several updates throughout the day and provided with an end of day summary on how things went.
Nat was such a great sitter! She provided regular updates with photos and videos, we felt so reassured seeing our girls so happy and relaxed. She even won over our witchy tabby, and wasn't phased by her bad language! Nat was very sensitive to our older dog's needs, and provided lovely gentle care to her. She left the house in a very clean and tidy state. We would highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again. Thanks again Nat, from all the gang.
Nat is a natural! This was our first meet and greet with Albie, who is still a puppy, and she was so thoughtful about getting to know him. He warmed up to her quickly 😊 and was even sad to see her leave! She also gave us a few really helpful tips during the visit, and Albie responded to her right away. Nat is kind, intentional, and you can tell she genuinely cares. We felt completely comfortable having her in our flat, and most importantly, Albie felt comfortable too. We’re looking forward to working with her again soon!
I had such a wonderful experience with my cat sitter! She was amazing at sending me regular updates and pictures, which really put me at ease while I was away. I could immediately tell that she genuinely loves animals—she wasn’t just doing this as a job, but truly cared for my cat. She took the time to play with him and make sure he was happy.
Nat dropped in on the cats twice a day for us when we were away for a long weekend. As always she was super communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and left the house spotless. Thanks so much, Nat!
Nat sat for us overnight for 10 days over the Christmas period. Nala and Blue loved her, she left the house neat and tidy, and she was very communicative and sent plenty of photos. She also took the time to come over and meet the cats twice, and administered medication (via food) to Nala. Highly recommend Nat & will book her again!

Schedule
I work full time but I work from home 2-3 days a week, my work finishes normally around 6pm and am happy with housesitting weekdays too as well as it's close enough to a tube station! I’m also allowed to bring dogs in the studio so that’s another plus. Weekends I do enjoy some outdoor activities, generally I walk for the trust on Sunday mornings as well so happy to walk your dog at the same time if that works for you, but am also happy to walk your dog on a weekday if you're around my area. Majority of times I can be flexible especially when I'm working from home and weekend, however, it would be appreciated if you can inform me of any service needed as soon as possible. That way you will feel safe that someone will be looking after your love ones sooner rather than later :)
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgNatalie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- It'll be nice to know if they have any special needs such as dietary requirements or separation anxiety or even a bad experience your pet had with a certain breed of pets that I need to be aware of. I don't really have a preference for dog breeds, I love em all shapes and sizes :) If I'm house sitting, it would be good if you can let me know basic how tos around your place. I always leave the place I sit clean and organised.
