IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: I’m currently working a part-time job in Manhattan that requires me to work 5-hour shifts. If I am scheduled, I will be out of the apartment for approximately 6-7 hours a day. I’ve been able to cat and dog sit even with my busy schedule. I’m extremely communicative about my schedule and can/will let you know when I would be in and out of the house.

Safety, trust & environment

I watch the doors and windows in case your pets like to play Escape Room! I give lots of pets, cuddles, playtime (inside and outside), and love (I'm a talker!). If they aren’t huge cuddle bugs I respect their space and am extremely patient. I make sure to let them smell me all over so they know I am a friendly person!

Information Natasha J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the pet has any medical conditions - needing medications, specific cleaning methods, or specific diets. If they have certain areas on the body they don’t like being touched (paws, belly, ears, muzzle, etc.) and what their behavioral eating habits are (aggressive, calm, needs space, etc.). As well as any hiding places they tuck themselves into so I can check them.

A typical day

I love to cuddle and play with pets! I make sure to cut out some playing time for them (if they want that) approx 30-45 minutes a day or more if needed! I like to use any toys available to me - feathers, laser pointers, springs, hair ties, automatic ball dispenser, truly anything!

Pet care experience

Hello! :) I've grown up with pets all my life - literally - the longest I've gone without having a pet was maybe 5 years! I also owned two cats for 13 years of my life and I loved and cared for them so much, they were brothers and taught me how to gently love! I am very much a cat girl at heart! I have a pet of my own (Pitbull Mix named Beau) back at my official home in Houston, Texas. I, of course, miss him dearly but I would love to give your pets the same love I give my dog! I can't wait to meet your lovely fur babies!

We had a great experience with Natasha! She stayed in our apartment with our dog and cat and took excellent care of both. She was on time, very communicative, and sent regular photos and updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house, which we really appreciated. She also walks our dog weekly and consistently does a fantastic job. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and attentive sitter!

Natasha was super communicative and arrived right on time to walk Remy. She took him on a long walk around the neighborhood and share lots of photos and updates. We will be using her again!

Natasha has been a great sitter for my home and cat, Zoe, multiple times. She always has wonderful communication and is sure to send pictures while we are away. She is the first sitter whose availability we check when looking and I would definitely recommend her!
