Pet care experience
Trusted Care for all Animals!
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old for family, neighbors, friends, and clients. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. My services include: - Dog walking (including multiple dogs at once) - Drop-in visits for dogs and cats - Overnight care & house sitting - Feeding and fresh water - Dog baths and brushing - Administering medication as needed - Playtime, enrichment, and lots of cuddles! - Light household tasks during stays (watering plants, bringing in mail, tidying up, etc.) While I unfortunately cannot currently have my own dog, I truly need my animal time — which means your pets get my full attention, love, and care! I do have a cat and pet snail at home, so caring for animals (no matter how small!) is always part of my daily life. What truly sets me apart is the way animals respond to me. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and animals often seem to feel comfortable around me very quickly. I take the time to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their pace — whether that means energetic play, structured walks, or quiet companionship. I don’t rush care or treat it as a checklist; I focus on making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or endless belly rubs, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and routine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to provide care in my client’s home whenever possible, since most pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own familiar space. Being in their home allows them to stick to their normal routine, environment, and schedule, which can really reduce stress while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and daily routine so I can care for them as consistently as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, staying overnight, or house-sitting, I make sure your pet receives attentive care, enrichment, and plenty of affection — all while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I’m also happy to handle household tasks, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy and safe. My goal is always to make your time away as easy as possible, and your pet’s experience as calm, comfortable, and happy as I can!
Ratings and reviews
Natasha was so amazing! She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our animals. I got good updates while we were away too which is always nice when you miss your pets. Highly recommend her!
Natasha was great with our two dogs, including our puppy Moose. She was communicative, very responsive and made sure our pups were well taken care of.
Amazing care for our dogs during the homestay. Trustworthy and responsive.
Natasha house sit for us while we went off grid for a vacation! She took excellent care of our house, played with, fed, and provided cat care for our cats and sent adorable photos. She was very flexible with our schedule changes and apartment parking difficulties! So glad our pets were in excellent hands!!!
Natasha was wonderful!!! She took great care of my 10+ year old dog, Turk, that needed daily medication and sent me so many photos. Knowing that she was with him made my trip just that much better. I will definitely be having her stay in the future!
Very kind and great with communication! She took great care of my kiddos and they were in good hands with an animal lover. Will definitely book again!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine, even alongside my graduate studies. As a current doctoral student, my schedule can be a bit unconventional but also flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan time around each pet’s needs. I’m available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as Monday mornings and evenings and Thursday afternoons and evenings. Depending on your pet’s individual routine and needs, I’m often able to accommodate drop-in visits every day throughout the week — I’m always happy to discuss what works best for your schedule. I prioritize clear communication and consistency, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving reliable, attentive care!

- To make sure I provide the best care possible, I like to know a few key things about your pet before we get started: - Diet & feeding schedule — what and when they eat, any allergies or special dietary needs. - Medical needs & medications — including how to administer them and any health concerns. - Behavior & temperament — energy level, fears, triggers, or things they love (like belly rubs or fetch!). - Routine & habits — favorite walking routes, nap times, or play preferences. - Comfort items or restrictions — favorite toys, treats, or areas of the home they can/can’t access. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me make your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable — and ensures their routine is as consistent as possible while you’re away!
