Not just pets, they’re family.

Pet care experience

I am a true dog professional! It’s my passion! I have a bachelors degree in Animal Science which led me to manage a large luxury boarding facility for a time. This is where I became a jack-of-all-trades, working boarding, daycare, grooming, dog walking, training, etc. I now own a grooming salon in West Des Moines! I am comfortable administering insulin, medications and I’m Canine First Aid trained. I’ve met hundreds of pups and know each one is an individual. My goal is to always treat them like one of my family.

Took amazing care of our kitties and was available between Christmas and New Years. Made sure they had food, water, litter, and lots of love. Highly recommend!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have three dogs of my own in my home, so dogs staying with me must be dog friendly and comfortable with big dogs (Great Danes and a Borzoi!). We have yard with a 6ft privacy fence and dogs are welcome to be on the furniture (if parent allows), sleep in the bed, and have plenty of toys and bones to chew on. Crating is also available when I am out of the house if desired. I cannot take dogs with mobility limitations due to stairs to come in and out of the house, however I am happy to come watch them in your home.

Information Natasha A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs for their visit. I can incorporate extra exercise, medications, grooming, etc into their visit to ensure they get the best care possible. Please Note: Drop-ins and Walks more that 5 miles away -there is an additional $5/visit charge to cover gas and drive time. House sitting - base rate covers dinner to breakfast services (exceptions apply) for $80 per night I will drop in over lunch, for $100 per night I will stay the full day at your home (advance notice needed)

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I try to tailor my visits to their unique personalities. For the more energetic types, I love to play fetch, go for walks and visit parks. For the quiet types, sometimes they get the most out of a couch cuddle session or doing some interactive treat toys.
