Highlights
Pet care experience
Done w/ grad school; ready to help
I cannot accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered; please do not request an overnight stay or doggy day care booking if your pup isn't fixed ❤️❤️ I am available to help on the weekends, holidays, and occasionally other times. I have dog and cat sat extensively and have volunteered at an animal shelter for the past 4 years where I learned the ropes of positive behavior training; fear free best practices; and cat, dog, and small mammal body language. I have completed the Fear Free Shelters online program and further my education/continual learning on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in shelter animals, and positive behavior training by listening to podcasts, reading books, and attending workshops. I prioritize mental enrichment for your dog and will do a range of enrichment activities with them, and I can also work on clicker training with your dog if you'd like.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Natasha and Josh were great with Dino! They were very thorough when we met them during our meet-and-greet and immediately put us at ease. They sent lots of updates and even did extra indoor enrichment activities with Dino during a crazy heatwave. He had his own vacation while we were away!!
Just the BEST - so genuine, kind, thoughtful, and responsible!
Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!
Excellent communication, attentiveness, and care!
Natasha is a wonderful person, so calm and organized. Our meet & greet with her went so well, and I was at ease leaving our dog with her while we traveled! While we were out, she provided regular updates and photos, which was so nice. Our dog was happy and relaxed during her stay with Natasha, even though it was her first time away from home! Thank you so much, Natasha! ❤️
Wonderful with my dog and follows directions well. Would rebook.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pet as though s/he were my own. I am happy to take the dog on several walks. I can do various mental enrichment activities with your pup.
A typical day
Whatever is requested by the pet owner is what I will do! If it is an active dog that enjoys running, fetching balls, etc. I can do that. Or if it's a dog that prefers lounging I can do that too! I do like working on mental enrichment whether that's snuggle mats, lick mats, or food puzzles, I own the equipment that can be used to mentally enrich your pet.
