Lots of attention to give...
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs in my home. As an adult, my first dog, Marley came into my life and made it better for over 16 years. Although I can't take on the full-time, wonderful responsibility of enjoying my own dog at the moment, I do love and miss the company of a dog somewhere by my side from time to time. I need my dog fix sometimes and the chance to give a particular dog what he or she may crave...a walk, fetch, a cuddle, and good scratch, or just being able to relax in my home knowing they're with someone who cares about them, while away from their family. It's a win:win. You get a safe and caring home for your dog to stay while you're away and I get to enjoy the company of a cool dog, from time to time.
Reviews
Natasha was a wonderful dog-sitter! Our pup, Opal, gets nervous in new settings and when she's away from us, but Opal was happy and relaxed all weekend. She got to go on walks, played fetch, sun bath, snooze, etc. Natasha sent us lots of pictures and updates. A+ stay!
I feel confident that Lucy was very safe with Natasha. She was very pleasant, but she seemed less loving and caring than most boarders.
Natasha is kind, patient and compassionate. She is an absolute animal lover and enjoys every one she meets. I love when Natasha spends time with my dog, because I know that my dog is being tended to and cared for. Natasha is also easy to communicate with, and asks questions to find out what my needs are.
Natasha is amazing with dogs! I've known Natasha for over twenty years. During much of this time she had her best-pal lab Marley, who she raised from when she was a puppy until Marley passed, several years later. During this whole time, Natasha was a caring, fun and responsible dog owner. The love she shared with Marley showed me how deep a bond between dog and owner can really be. In the past twenty years, Natasha and I have gone on lots of walks together. She ALWAYS stops to pet every dog and chat with them/their owner. She simply seems to connect with every dog she comes into contact with! Her love for dogs is genuine, and I think both the dogs and their owners sense this, as there's always lots of tail wagging when the dogs see her. :) A wonderful thing about Natasha is that she keeps her word (and is always on time-- which I personally love!) If she says she's going to do something... she'll do it. She'll show up for you in every way. She's respectful of others' spaces and is mindful that everyone has their own unique way of doing things. She is a genuine, caring, honest person who truly loves dogs. I feel that anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog caregiver!

Information Natasha K. would like to know about your pet
Are they good with other dogs (neighborhood walks)? Anxiety issues? barking issues? Potty-trained? Chewing issues?
A typical day
I’ll take walks around the neighborhood I live in. On the weekend, I enjoy going on hikes and can take them along if they enjoy that. I'm also happy to take them to the dog park if they enjoy playing with other dogs or play fetch. I’m open to doing whatever activity a particular dog enjoys.
