From Russia with love &24/7 sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Natasha . I am profesional pet sitter, who is lucky to get retired earlier to be able to do my dream job -Pet sitting ! I had been following my Carma by helping animals through my entire life. It had began at Russia when I was teenager helping street dogs and cats to found homes . When I came over to US I went to vet tech school program at Foothill college and I learned more how to help animals . I learned about proper diet , housing and medical care for variety of animals. I had never stopped rescuing animals and foster them till I found them a good homes. It is in my blood at this point to do what I do the best in life - sitting other ppl dogs and cats . I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs and cats. I am super familiar with bunnies turtles chickens and ducks especially since I had rescued many things f them last 15 years and medically treated them by nursing them back to life. I do enjoy helping people to care for they pets and love to educate them about they pet care. Since I own my house and I have no kids I made my place as a sanctuary for animals . It is very quiet and peaceful. Even loud barking dogs who has an anxieties become peaceful at my place. Animals are my true passion and they all kids to me. I am leading very healthy and compassionate style of life by be a vegan and an exercising . I am very fit strong and handy. I decided to be a pet sitter on Rover to help more people with they pets : dogs , cats and other animals if you will ask me . I truly love all animals no matter on size or breed.I know a lot about proper care for most animals! Do not hesitate to ask questions if you have them;) I take my pet sitting job very seriously and it is the right kind of job for me and the only job i truly love and enjoy! I prefer to host your pets in my house since my house builded to accommodate to animals care needs. I look at everything in life as a balance and the love. If both exists in life then happiness is there! Again , I do care for animals because I trully love them first and money comes after as reward. My mom always said to me if you trully love what you do money will come with time… I am not worry about money . My yard has 7 feet tall secured fence and double gates so your beloved animals can not escape. I do prefer keep dogs roaming free inside and outside of house through special doggies play room where a two big sofas and tv and music system playing relaxing meditation music and lot of room to run and play and door which open to the yard . I also have a doggies door in my living room . I have a few crates to crate your dog if there are needs for it. My preference is to keep all dogs around me together and with me under my supervision through the day. I love to walk dogs few times a day depends on need and situation you can see me walking dogs around my nice peaceful Naibourhbod or brining them to Johns Morgan park at Campbell few blocks away from my house or local school park and when kids not around I let dogs run there free of leash since it all fenced up. My favorite is taking dogs for a hike to open space county parks,and to Los Gatos Greek trail with nice cool creeks and lot of shade where dogs can hang by creek espassially at hot weather and cool off by keeping paws and belly in a water. . I am also comfortable to administer meds if there are needs for it or any special needs . I had been around sick and injured animals most of my life trying to bring them back to health and I feel very comfortable accommodate any med needs. Again, I am full time pet sitter and you can count on me completely any time to take care your furry kid. I do not have any other jobs and I will always be able to answer on your texts and calls as long as I am not walking few dogs at the time or driving. I have an old dogs and they super friendly with other dogs and also other animals . They was around other animals most of they life’s. I am always at home. Pet sitting job is the only job I have now and I am happy to accommodate my clients with timing to drop/pick up. I enjoying to play with doggies at my pretty big yard where doggies can run . I also love to take doggies in parks and walks around my area . My favorite park is next to my home and it is favorite becouse I can safely let few dogs run there leash free since this park all fenced up;) I am a full time pet sitter and that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids and make sure they all good and happy;) I am very conscientious of any dogs unsettelties and would rather separate and keep dogs separate then let them figured things on they own. I am super careful how I introduce dogs to each other and who and how I keep together. So I am proud of my self for be careful how I manage my doggies buisness .

This is probably the 5th time we left Leo for a week long stay with Natasha and boy did he have a great time. Natasha shared regular updates and pictures of Leo and he looked so happy and healthy during his stay with her. She took great care of our precious pupper. And the way other dogs appeared to interact with Leo (from the pictures) it was evident that Natasha keeps an eye on them all the time and maintains order to provide a safe place for all dogs. We are glad to have found Natasha who provides such a caring and safe place that our dog loves to go to.

Zebulon had a great time with you Natasha, thank you very much! We appreciate your careful evaluation, especially given Zeb's somewhat skittish nature. And thanks for the training tips as well, this will be very helpful making sure he is socializing politely. I look forward to employing your doggy daycare services again in the future.

I am so happy Natasha watches Simon. Her care and personal attention is wonderful and I feel at ease with Simon in her care. She is dedicated and her home is customized to keep the animals safe and provide an enriching environment.

Information Natasha K. would like to know about your pet

FOR A FIRST TIME CLIENTS only! I do MEET AND GREET at my house as booked Doggies DAYCARE. I only work with clients who understand importance of doggies day care ( when you bring your dog during day time and leave with me for a few hours) first. It is super important doing doggies daycare prior a longer stay! When you bring your doggie at unfamiliar environment and leave him/her for a number of days without brining at least for a few hours before You making it super stressful for your dog and a sitter. Slow transition of letting your dog get use to a new person and a new environment is a key of kind loving towards to your dog and happy stay for your doggie in a future . I spend 30 min with each new client and they dog on a first day of they arrival. I carefully evaluate every single dog at my secure house setting before I make decisions about sitting this dog on that day and in a future. I sit doggies in a small groups and I make sure all doggies are super friendly with each other. If your dog is not super friendly with me and a little shy that is ok. It means your dog might need more time to get use to me and I am willing to work with him/her over few more doggies daycare before it gets comfortable with me and I am very good dealing with this issue with shy doggies! But if your doggie super dominant and not getting along with other dogs I might be considering to sit him separate or recommend you to find other sitter who will sit only one dog at the time and it will prevent conflicts between dogs. I take vaccinated dogs only that way we have everyone healthy. I do not take aggressive dogs to humans or to other dogs . As much as I love doggies it will be a very dangerous situation for me and other doggies I sit him/her.If your dog is aggressive you should consider to put him at kennel which takes aggressive dogs since they equipt to deal with them adress 520Giuffrida ave., San Jose. I also recommend you to train your dog to get over aggression. If you have Netflix pls watch movie called “canine intervention” where you will see this amazing trainer and his technics to train aggressive dogs before you contact him. I believe he is amazing because he understands dogs as individuals and he truly love what he does! He is in San Jose and you can find him;) I train dogs but I am not a trainer and I have no time or enough expertise to train dogs who has to have serious issues such as aggression. You need super experienced trainer as I mentioned before to help you fix your dog problem. If your dog was in my care before and for some reason I raised my prices please do not hesitate to ask me adjust price to what you pay first time you brought your pet into my sanctuary. I am always happy to take back dogs I already cared for before and established bond . Dogs always do better in environment they had been expose before then a new place they have to go. I am always happy to see my old and new friends again! ISTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO BRING WHEN YOU BOARDING DOG WITH ME. 1. Pls do bring dog food in clear plastic bags with name of your dog on plastic bag and amour you feed if it is kibbles. If you feed other type of food you still need to make sure name of your dog on all the food you bring to my place! 2. Pls no toys , no doggies plates only few treats not much. Row chew preferably. 3. You can bring doggie blankets if you use this blanket for him before. Pls remember to ask your blanket back ( I can forget to return it) when you pick up your doggie. 4. If you brought a bigger bag where you place clear bags with food you still need to sing that bag as well and remind you to give you back at the end of picking up your doggie . 5. If your doggie on meds pls put meds in clear bag with his name on it and check your bag make sure I put all mads back inside the bag. Thank you for reading instructions! If any questions do not hesitate to ask!

A typical day

I concider myself as an animal communicater since I observed through the years animals attempts to comunícate with me and others ... I .understand animals more then most people becouse I passionately love them and communication with them are super important to me! And that is why My style of life always included animals and made me a great sitter;) . I like to play with dogs and give them affection and I love to train doggies. My favorite serial show on Netflix is “Canine Intervention “ I deeply agree with this trainer and trying to fallow up his steps. .I like to watch dogs and find unique style to communicate with each dog I sit.All dogs are very different to me just like people and I like to find that bond between us so we can enjoy each other company by communicating .
