Highlights
Pet care experience
Registered Vet Tech/Animal Lover!!
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!

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.
Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Natasha! I have a reactive dog and leaving him with anyone is always a bit nerve wracking. She made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and my dog and cat adore her. She was extremely responsive and asked wonderful questions. She updated me with pictures several times throughout the day and eased my mind so much. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Natasha stayed for 3 weeks with my dogs while we went on vacation. She was absolutely awesome! Her communication and pictures were so appreciated and my dogs and home were well looked after and cared for. She is absolutely the best!
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!

Schedule
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.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsNatasha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- 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.
