Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Vacation Oasis w/ Fenced Yards!
Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need!

Ratings and reviews
Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.
I am so grateful I had Natasha watch our dog, Raptor. Natasha responded right away to our request and thoroughly answered all my questions. She took the time to get to know our pup’s routine and made sure to follow it during Raptor’s stay with her. She sent us pictures and updates. When we picked Raptor up I could tell how comfortable she was. If you are looking for a pet sitter that genuinely cares, is proactive, responsive, and will treat your dog like her own then Natasha is your person. I 10/10 recommend her!
We had such a great experience with Natasha! She took care of Leo for a couple of days while we were away, and we’re so thankful for her. She was really sweet with him and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. Leo was happy and well taken care of when we got back. We would definitely ask Natasha to watch him again! 🐾❤️
Natasha was great! She sent lots of updates and Kobe had a great time with her dog. Would highly recommend and will be bringing Kobe back for future stays !
Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.
Natasha is already a wonderful owner of two of the sweetest most well-behaved dogs I’ve ever met, and has lovingly cared for my own pet when I was traveling. She has a huge heart and is incredibly responsible. Any pet she looks after is guaranteed to receive ample affection and care.

Schedule
I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically! We'll have long walks, puzzle play, and fetch - if that's something your dog enjoys. Crate and rotate is also a part of my boarding process so dogs can get some 1x1 attention as well as some structured rest time in their safe space to decompress.
