Pet Care You Can Truly Count On!
Hi, I’m Nataly! I’ve been walking dogs since 2017. I started with Wag, then worked with a private company in Astoria, Queens. Later, I became a Team Leader at a dog daycare and managed a holistic dog shop in Chicago. At home, I have three beloved cats: Silver, Moon, and Rooney. I also hope to adopt a small dog in the future. I specialize in cat care of all ages, puppies, special need animals, senior dogs, and those stubborn pups who need a little extra patience. I’m experienced in administering medication and am currently working toward my Animal CPR and First Aid certification. I pride myself on being trustworthy, patient, and punctual. My goal is to give your pet all the love and care they deserve while helping you feel relaxed and secure when you’re away. Since my schedule varies week to week, I can’t take on recurring bookings at the moment, but I keep my calendar updated. If you’d like to book me for a couple of weeks, feel free to reach out. I’ll always do my best to accommodate requests, even on my days off. I usually commute between clients using the MTA, so I like to give a quick heads-up: most of the time I arrive right at the scheduled time, but occasional train or bus delays may cause a walk to begin up to 15 minutes before or after. On very rare occasions, it could be up to 30 minutes. That said, I’m communicative and always do my best to arrive right on time, keeping you updated if anything changes. I’m flexible and committed to making sure you’re happy with my service, so if this doesn’t work for you, just let me know and I’ll make sure to prioritize your booking. *** I accept walks/drop ins between 7 AM - 8 PM. Any requests before or after those times is an additional $10.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Before every walk, I take a few minutes to make sure your pup’s leash, collar, or harness is fitted correctly and secure. I have experience with many types of equipment, including prong collars, slip collars, martingales, gentle leaders, front-clip harnesses, and step-in harnesses, so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever your dog normally uses. I also check that your pup seems comfortable and ready to head out before we begin. During our time together, I focus on making the walk enjoyable, safe, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means keeping a steady pace, taking breaks, or allowing extra time for sniffing. My goal is to treat every dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
Ratings and reviews
Nataly did an amazing job looking after my 10 week old puppy Pixie! This was my first time leaving her for a longer stretch of time since getting her but Nataly made me feel so at ease - it’s clear she loves animals so much and Pixie had a great time hanging out with her.
Nataly was absolutely outstanding. From the moment she met our animals, she was kind, compassionate, and clearly was experienced in caring for animals. She sent us picture updates numerous times a day, was always ready to answer any questions, and went above and beyond in making sure our pets were happy. You should hire her!!!
Nataly was great with my cat Serena! She followed all instructions and was on time to every visit. She also sent many photos of my cat while I was away! Would definitely book Nataly again!
Nataly was great. Our dogs loved her and she took really good care of them. She was very responsive and sent plenty updates.
Nataly took great care of our puppy! She was super communicative, sent us several updates, and even taught our puppy a new trick! Would absolutely book with her again.
Nataly was awesome!! She came by and met my kitten and took detailed notes which I was very impressed by. I forgot to fill out care instructions in the app but she had everything written down. She gave me updates every time she checked on my kitten and I really appreciated her attentiveness. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits into my life as something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it around my primary job. I often work on holidays and my days off, which means my weekly availability can vary. Because of this, I’m not able to commit to a recurring schedule, but I always do my best to keep my calendar updated. Even if a day looks unavailable, I may still be able to fit in a walk or visit—so please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I’ll do everything I can to make it work!

- It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your pup so I can give them the best care. I’d like to know if your dog is reactive in any way and how they do around other dogs, people, or loud noises. Please let me know if they have any special routines—such as being fed after their walk, needing water breaks, or taking medication. I also like to know if they typically go potty (#1 or #2) during their walks and if they’re comfortable walking the full 30 or 60 minutes, or if they prefer shorter strolls with more breaks. If your dog has a favorite walking route or a specific path they’re used to, I’m happy to follow it so they feel comfortable and enjoy their time outside. The more I know about your dog’s habits, preferences, and needs, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
