Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog trainer with vet background
Hi! My name Nataliia, I’m professional dog trainer with veterinary background and years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a sensitive soul, or a reactive dog, I know how to create an environment where every dog feels safe, enriched, and fulfilled. What makes walks with me special is that they’re not just a walk — unless that’s exactly what you want. If pet parents are interested, I can add in mental and physical enrichment, practice focus and self-control, or teach fun new tricks. Every outing can be purely about exercise and fresh air, or it can also become an engaging training session — it’s always up to you and your dog’s needs. My career includes training service dogs for search-and-rescue and detection, as well as helping family dogs develop the daily habits and manners that keep them happy at home and easy to live with . I have extensive experience supporting reactive dogs too, ensuring their walks are calm, positive, and tailored to their needs. With my veterinary background, I’m confident caring for dogs with health considerations or special requirements. Outside of client work, I stay active in dog sports like agility, obedience, and IGP with my own dogs — a Belgian Malinois and two Boston Terriers.

Safety, trust & environment
I carefully follow all owner instructions to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. On walks, I use secure equipment, keep full attention on your dog, and adjust routes and pace to their needs — safety always comes first.
Ratings and reviews
Nataliia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat
Thank you! Nataliia was on time, took care of my very senior dog!
Nataliia has been a joy to have walking my dog 4 times per week for the past three months. She is 100% reliable and easy to communicate with. She didn’t just walk my dog but takes her to parks and trails which is much more enriching. I was able to have a stress free few months knowing that my girl was in good hands while I was at work.
Nataliia is great! This is are second time using her and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She’s consistently gone above and beyond.
Nataliia was wonderful.Very responsive , communicative and friendly. Our doggies seemed at home with her and happy when we returned. Id ask her back anytime. thank you, Nataliia.
We had a great experience with Nataliia watching oir dog for a week while we were out of town. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Nataliia pays close attention to detail — from monitoring food and water bowl levels to sending regular picture updates and check-ins throughout the week.

Schedule
Pet care isn’t a side job for me — it’s my main focus and daily work. That’s why I can offer flexible scheduling and consistent attention, whether your pet needs a morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or evening care.
