Lifelong animal lover

Hi! I’m Natasha! I relocated back to Texas from California to be closer to family. I work in healthcare on an on call basis, so I am home a lot. I have had animals my whole life and have a lot of experience watching other people's beloved pets too. I have a big fenced in yard and a large doggy door, allowing your pup to come in and out freely. I have 2 very sweet and playful pups, both a year old. I have a 70 pound golden retriever (Goose) and a 50 pound Lab (Willow). They are best buds and love other friendly dogs. I'm happy to board your dog-friendly pup. I also am available for drop in visits and doggy day care. At my house, your dog will have everything they need from play time, exercise, cuddles and pets to relaxation time. I have cared for many friends’ animals in addition to my own and can provide references. I have also used Rover for several years and had many people stay in my house to watch my dog while I traveled. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Doggy Day Care • Okt. 19, 2024

My dog absolutely loves it at her house and got excited every time I dropped him off. Defiantly using her again.

Natasha was amazing with our pup while we were away for the weekend! She was super communicative and helped us feel at ease being away from him. Would 100% recommend her if looking for a dog sitter. Our pup loved her and she was great understanding and managing his leash reactivity.

Natasha has been absolutely wonderful with our dog. For the first time in a long time we felt completely at ease and trusted her to take good care of Nox. We could tell from the regular updates and pictures that Nox was actually happy, relaxed and very comfortable around her. Nox is an anxious dog and takes a long time to warm up to new people. Not with Natasha, she made him fall in love with her after the first meet up. She is gentle and intuitive and went above and beyond to make Nox’s stay comfortable. Her place is spacious and has a small outdoor area, great for watching dogs. We definitely will book her again, she is the best kept secret on Rover.

House Sitting • Sep. 19, 2022

Natasha was such a great sitter! I usually worry when I leave my dog, Beau, with a new person because he can be shy and has special needs but Natasha took amazing care of him and adapted to make him feel comfortable. I could tell from the photos sent that Beau was having a great time :) She even went above and beyond by taking him for walks, which I usually don't expect because he uses a cart and can be a menace in public. Natasha was incredibly kind, accommodating, and responsible in taking care of both my fur baby and home. I'm so happy that I booked Natasha and will definitely be booking again! I definitely recommend Natasha to anyone who needs an awesome sitter!!

I have known Natasha for 14 years and can attest that not only is she a huge animal lover, she’s also a caring, responsible and empathetic friend. She has not only been an excellent dog mom to her own dogs but also a great stand-in dog momma to my pit bull, Magnus, when I have traveled. Your pet will no doubt be in great hands with Natasha!

Natasha has cat sat my two cats for the past 3 years anytime I have to go out of town. She is fantastic In easing my anxiety when I’m away from Izzya and Bella. I have had other cat sitters before and after we come back both cats are pissed. That’s not the case when Natasha sit my babies. She is great. Gives them attention and makes sure they are fed. I have an automatic litter and when I was alerted that it was having issues, she promptly came over and addressed the issue. She is so reliable and makes vacation time worry free for me.
