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.

Nataliia took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. We came home to a happy, purring cat and clean litterboxes. He was in very good spirits and all his needs were taken care of during our vacation. Very happy with the care provided by Nataliia and recommend her highly.
Nataliia is great! She is very responsive and followed all instructions. Thank you!
