Pet care experience
Tals Pet Pals (of all kinds💙)
I have had a passion for helping animals and their owners for my entire life. My first job at 13 years of age was at a dog resort walking dogs and taking them out for socials in group settings. I began house sitting for a family and their bull mastiff when I was 14, and continued to check in on family friends cats, dogs, fish, lizards, snakes, (you name it!) while away. I was a vet assistant for 6 years, and graduated the animal care program at Sheridan college before continuing on in Nursing. Our husky is very insecure, we enrolled him in a board and train program and learned a lot about how to handle dogs like this. He barked at everyone, zero recall, was good with commands but was nervous and reactive. He could not be around dogs or people he didn’t know. I am experienced with understanding dogs who need to be advocated for. I will never put your animals in a situation where they don’t feel comfortable/as if I won’t handle the situation for them. I am familiar with e-collars and am not opposed to any training interventions YOU use for your animals, as long as they are used appropriately. We have two indoor cats at home. I am skilled in making sure cats stay indoors while snuggling and giving treats. I am comfortable with giving medications under your direction. As a nurse and past vet assist, medication administration doors not phase me. I can do this safely for you. I am an operating room nurse who on the side loves to continue my passion for caring for ALL animals when in need. I have a horse and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty! I can check on your hobby farm animals, reptiles, birds or fish as needed! I have a 4yr old who does not need to be with me for all check-ins or walks. Although, if your animals are comfortable with him being there, please let me know and that makes me more flexible for your schedule ☺️

Safety, trust & environment
Respectfully and diligently, I will continue with the same care that you give your animals. If I have suggestions, I will always ask if you are interested in them before changing anything you do- I believe in consistency & transparency. I communicate and ask lots of questions to make sure you are comfortable with the care I am providing ☺️ My rule of thumb when coming into your house is lights off, leave it as I found it (unless there was an accident) & lock up!
Ratings and reviews
Natalya is the kindest most attentive women! She truly has a passion for what she does and it shows! I cannot say enough good things about her and her check ins on my baby! I highly recommend her ❤️
Natalya’s love of all creatures great & small really exemplifies her loving nature. From horses to snakes, dogs & cats, Natalya has experience with many varieties of pets. Nurturing and responsible your pet could not be in better hands. She is wonderful with my little Morkie Poo! Your pets will love her! And you will be impressed with her timeliness and dedication to her clients and their animals.
I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to hire Natalya for your dog’s walking/sitting needs. She has an inner compassion for dogs and many types of animals. Natalya secures years of experience having dogs in her life from a very young age; an owner, dog walker, grooming course and a veterinary assistant. She will love your dog as her own “Ghost” and only use supportive discipline if needed. She is always wearing a smile, upbeat, punctual and a good communicator. Her love for the outdoors will ensure your fur baby has the best experience while in her care.
Natalya, came on fairly short notice to help walk our very energetic dog. She was great to communicate with and kept us in the loop with lots of pictures and videos. She was punctual and knew how to work with my hound and not . I came home to one very relaxed and happy dog! She was great to work with and would definitely recommend. Great service :)
Natalya has taken care of our dog and 2 cats on multiple occasions. We have had Natalya do drop ins for our cats when we we have gone away and she has walked our dog. Our dog is a rescue so his manners on leash weren’t the best at the beginning but that never deterred Natalya and she handled him very well. With her background with animals and outgoing personality, we have always trusted her with our fur babies and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a walker and/or sitter!
