Dogs, cats, exotics, you name it!
Pet care experience
I have lots of diverse animal experience! From pets, to farm animals, exotic wildlife, to zoo animals. It starts with the animals I have had as pets in my own. From cats as a kid to the 2 goofy family dogs-I have had to groom, care, feed, and walk them. I volunteered at a nature center that had a few farm animals: pigs, chicks, sheep, calves, mini-horses, and rabbits. I took care of those animals and supervised little kids getting to see them up-close. Then I've done lots and lots of field research on wild animals from gulls, penguins, zebras, to chimpanzees and orangutans. Recently, I was a conservation educator at a zoo and got a lot of experience caring for and handling reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small mammals! So basically, I can help you out with any and all animals you may have at your house-I've seen them all!
Reviews
Natasha was very friendly and professional. She took to my pets quickly, and, as her daily photos and reports showed, they took to her as well. I did get daily reports and photos throughout our vacation. Many of the photos were endearing. I will definitely use Natasha again.
Natasha was great! She was right on time for our pups visit. You can tell she really cares about your dog and makes sure they have a good time while in her care. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
My husband and I recently got married and went on a 5 night, 6 day honeymoon. Natasha was kind enough to stay at our house for the duration of our honeymoon to watch the house and take care of our dog Dakota. It was nice to go on a trip and to know that our dog was going to be in good hands. Natasha sent us daily pictures of her and Dakota going on nice walks/hikes. Dakota had the biggest smile on her face in every picture. Natasha will go the extra mile when taking care of your dog. My husband and I didn't have a portable water bowl for Dakota, so Natasha went to the pet store and purchased one so that Dakota would have some fresh water while being on their walks. She truly loves animals and will make sure that your dog is happy while you are gone. We came home to healthy and happy dog. I highly recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Your dog(s) will be in very good hands. She is a responsible caregiver who will be engaged with your dog throughout the whole day.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable with walking or providing other types of exercise. I can give medications as needed and help with any training behaviors. While working at a zoo, I learned animal training techniques.
Information Natasha B. would like to know about your pet
Some dogs are nervous without their owners, it's good to know ways I can help them be at ease and make them feel comfortable. It's also good to know what kind of exercise they like and their food requests.
A typical day
I love going on walks with dogs or playing fetch. Dogs usually identify me as the "play" human. I am a very active person myself and love being outside, especially with a four-legged friend.
