Anything your four legged kid needs

Pet care experience

I’m a K9 behavioral specialist ( why am I here ? I’ll tell you when when we meet 😉) . I do everything for our furry ( or not so furry ) kids : daycare or boarding.which includes - plenty of time outdoors, exercising and playing that I adjust depending on their ability and condition, learning good manners ( mostly for the youngsters of coarse) behavioral correction through a positive reinforcement and a healthy pack structure, building a strong foundation in their social skills. On top of that I administer meds/shots or can make a specific food for the guys with special needs .. and of coarse lots of love and attention in a home environment. I think of myself as a kindergarten teacher - assertive, patient and loving but firm when needs to be. Making sure everyone of my furry kids is ( most importantly ) safe and enjoy their stay here. I stay on top of their manners and overall behavior, teaching and nurturing good habits and getting rid of the bad ones. My vast experience started early on because my mom was a veterinary surgeon. I pretty much grew up in the surgery. We had lots of rescues at home through my lifetime ( 🐕🐈🐇🐀🕊) I learned dogs psychology and training from my mom whom besides being a Vet, was well known trainer for both police and private guard K9 back in old county. I grew up around very big and serious dogs - definiteLy not your gentle giants. Therefore working and helping dogs with serious ( and not so serious ) issues and their owners to understand eachother and learn to control and ultimately get rid of those destructive behavioral patterns to create a healthy and happy relationship is my specialty.

Natasha loves animals and was very diligent with maintaining our dog’s medication schedule. She is kind and thoughtful and so glad we chose her to look after our dog. House was clean and she even washed the sheets!?

Natasha was wonderful with my dogs while I was away. They received plenty of exercise and attention. she even made them special food when they were feeling unwell. Natasha is reliable, knowledgeable and a terrific pet sitter!

Natasha was amazing! I have two Great Dane puppies, almost a year old. Natasha took them on walks, the dog parks for drives, everything! She took care of our home so well! I trust Natasha with my babies- you should too!

Natasha was amazing!!! It was the first time I had a stranger watch my fur baby and was immediately put at ease when she came over to meet him before watching him for 6 hours. She sent many pics and videos. Bear had a wonderful adventure with Natasha. Will use again for sure. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Your baby will get plenty of exercise and play outdoors , mental and physical stimulation (depending on their physical condition of coarse). While the weather permits we go on hikes a lot. I DO NOT GO TO THE DOG PARKS. When it gets warmer we walk around the neighborhood and go to a big beautiful park up the street. I know all the dogs and owners there. Thats the only park they take their babies and everyone is very cautious and aware about the killer K9 virus so its a safe place for our dogs to socialize

Information Natasha L. would like to know about your pet

I love all critters - big and small. I definitely would want to learn about your kid likes and dislikes, medical conditions or special needs. Due to this new deadly dog virus going around, I’m asking all of k9 patents who would like my services to PLEASE AVOID THE DOG PARKS AND OTHER AREAS WITH A DENSE DOGGY “TRAFFIC” where you don’t know the dogs and owners and the new ones show up frequently FOR TWO WEEKS PRIOR DROPPING YOUR BABY WITH ME ! I would advise to stay away from those places completely because this virus is extremely contagious. One of my dear clients, my heart , my love, a gentle giant with a funny name Velcro died from it. He wasnt under my care at the time. His mom brought him to the best ER. He had a “Cadillac “ of health insurances and she didnt care about additional costs for some new procedures. She just wanted to save him whatever means necessary. Doctors tried everything possible but nothing worked. The virus won. It only took a day after the fist sign of a symptom. So PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE IN THIS MATTER and if you still go to the dog parks please be honest about it and don’t leave them under my care. I’m sure you understand that i’m being precocious for a reason Thank you !

A typical day

I customize exercise/play depending on the physical condition and the age of your pet and of course - on the temperature outside. We go on hikes when its safe, walks around the neighborhood and play in the park up the street.( regular park ) .I instinctually stay very alert and vigilant when it comes to walks or hikes ( for snakes or coyotes) Sometimes we go to the beach to get away from the heat. Its in Ventura, sort of an unofficial off-leash dog beach. Pups love it there.

Working with doggos is my career so it makes it a big part of my routine . Its not just a little side job for me to make extra cash. You can say that my life revolves around doggos. Also, its not really a routine because working with all the different personalities and energies is never boring and monotonous.
