Availability
I work Tuesdays to Fridays (I finish work at 6pm) so if I'm pet sitting then I'm available to sit at your house (my senior kitty does not appreciate other pets in my home) mornings, evenings, and overnights. I am completely free and available Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.

About Natasha L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in positive reinforcement and have been Fear-Free certified. Your pet is a member of your family and I would care for them and treat them as one of my own. I am very respectful of your pet and their environment and needs, as well as yourself and your home. Your pet's safety and happiness is one of my top priorities whether we are inside or outside the home.
Information Natasha L. would like to know about your pet
Every pet is different and special, therefore, it's important that I'm made aware of anything specific about your pet such as medical conditions, medication, and treatments. Are there any behavioural concerns such as dog or people reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, destructive behaviour, etc.? Any allergies to food, medication, or environment? What do they love and what do they dislike (food, treats, activities, being touched or petted a certain way, favorite toys or places inside/outside the home, etc.)? Do they have any training/know any commands? I like to know as much as I can about the pet so that I can provide the best care possible.
A typical day
I like to know what the pet's typical day is like and I find it helpful to try and stick to this so that the pet feels comfortable while the owner is away. I'm happy to engage in whatever activities the pet is used to and enjoys and I also use my judgement to sense how a pet is feeling on any given day - if a pet doesn't seem interested in something then I won't push it, but if the pet seems extra exuberant about something then I'll match the energy and adjust accordingly.

Registered Vet Tech/Animal Lover!!
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm a Registered Veterinary Technologist with over 20 years of experience living and working with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From sweet, to grumpy, to silly pups, I love them all! I've always had dogs in my home every since I was very young. I believe they helped me to develop the love and passion I have for all animal species today. Animals have always fascinated me and they truly are my whole world (along with my husband of course!....and traveling!) Animals bring such joy and happiness in my life that I wanted to care for them and give them as much love and happiness that they bestow upon me every day. This led me to pursue a BSc in Animal Biology and my RVT registration. As an RVT, I provide professional and personalized care to fit the lifestyle and needs of every pet and their pet-parent. I'm very patient and building trust between your dog, myself, and yourself the owner is important to me. Pet-parents can rest assured that their dog is safe and being loved and cared for as if they were my own. If your dog has special needs, I am more than capable of providing necessary care and treatments such as medicating (oral, topical, and injections), surgical recovery, behavior issues, seniors/geriatrics, wound management, and treatment for many diseases such as diabetes, Cushing's & hypothyroidism to name a few. My sweet pups have since passed over the rainbow bridge, but I currently have a very sweet senior kitty who I shower with all my love and affection. If you would like to know more about me just let me know, I would love to chat. Whether your doggy is active, a couch potato, or somewhere in the middle, I would love to get to know them and would be honored to care for them!

Reviews
Natasha was great! Meet andgreet was smooth and easy. Provided awesome updates thoughout the booking.
Our pup just spent another wonderful weekend with Natasha who took her on lots of walks, sent us daily photos and videos, and left the house completely tidy. Thanks again, Natasha!
Natasha was very punctual, had great communication, and did an amazing job house sitting with my sick puppy Cali. She provided updates and pictures throughout the day, took her on walks, played with her in the backyard and I came home to a pup that was tired and happy. Thanks again Natasha, I would love to use your services again!
Natasha was fantastic with the dogs and I would definitely have her stay with them again!
