Pet care experience

I am a 24 year old animal enthusiast looking to provide your canine companion with the love, care, and affection that you temporarily cannot. I had a precious Chihuahua for twelve years growing up, and have spent the last three years since her passing spending as much time in the company of dogs as I can. From a young age I have been on the ground advocating for animal rights. I have volunteered at adoption events and shelters with organizations such as The ASPCA and Best Friends New York. I have also most recently volunteered and fostered through a nonprofit called Zani's Furry Friends. Now I am fortunate enough to have turned my lifelong love for animals into a career by working at the ASPCA, where I provide the public with valuable resources and information to help ensure the fair treatment of all animals. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment with four other animal/dog loving adults and a sweet young pitt mix named Yam who will all happily smother your pup with all the belly rubs and playtime that they desire. Attached to my bedroom is an enclosed deck so your pup can hang outside and enjoy the weather as they please. Three blocks away from my apartment is a beautiful park with a dog run, so there's plenty of open space for your pup to run around, socialize, and do their thang. In my care, your pup will enjoy hours of playtime and kisses every day with Yam, a minimum of three walks, and endless amounts of attention! I look forward to hearing from you and treating your companion like the royalty that they are!

Natasha was great with Boomer. She constantly provides feedback on his daily status. Since, we were out of the country and he gets very anxious. She's very nurturing and made Boomer feel at home and part of her family. We plan on using her again; soon. We definitely recommend her to others. We spent over 2 weeks away and had no worries.

This Woman Does Deserve not even 1Star. The most Horrifying experience of Our life. When we got there her Dog Yam went straight for my puppy. She got intimidated and pee on the Floor which is Normal for my Puppy, she hasnt been around other dogs or left with anyone before. Her Dog Yam pee all over her bed and Floor and ran to hide behind me, shaking severly scare and frightened. I should off had a clue that these people are no good. As I am petting her dog yam to calm her, my puppy got near her and she attack my dog. Still shaking and hiding behind me. Her Boyfriend Fiance was pissed and saying Yam No No bad Girl... but thats not the worse. We had no choice to leave our puppy there because our flight was leaving in less than 2 hours. As we getting in the Plane she started sending us messages about our puppy peeing in the pad and outside. I asked her to please have patience with her as she must be nervous. When we arrive to Florida she continue sending messages About our Puppy crying and that she couldnt put up with it and she felt that my puppy was going to separation anxiety. She cancel her sitting with my puppy while we was in Florida and we were hopeless ,speechless,worry,concern, a living hell nightmare. Finally we were Able to set another sitter online and she couldnt even drop her off to the new sitter. I guess she was planning to through our Dog in the street. Thankfully Annette and Her Husband was able to go and Save our Puppy from this person that doesnt or shouldnt be doing this or taking care of Animals period. I am unable to have Kids. So my Puppy is my child. Imagine you out of town and the person you leave in charge of your Child is making her life and yours a living hell. I guess I stood in her apartment too long, setting my puppy up, that I got to see more than what i was supposed to. I would never ever recommend her to anyone, I dont wish this not even to my worse enemy. I don't doudt for a second that she abuses her own dog. DONT GET FOOL BY THE ASPCA PHOTO OR THE OTHER REVIEWS. THEY DIDNT SEE WHAT I SAW OR LIVE. EVEN THE NEW SITTER WAS IN SHOCKED OF HER TREATMENT TOWARDS MY PUPPY..
