Dependable and Committed Dog Carer
Pet care experience
A bit about me: I am 29, love dogs, and have cared for them for most of my life. My services include, but can be extended, bathing, walking, playing, socializing, feeding, and watering your dog. With my dogs, I do possess my bathing supplies. However, if you have preferred supplies I can use yours. Walking - I love to take my dogs to dog parks and let them play with other dogs. I also don't mind just taking them for a stroll around the neighborhood. I also love playing with my dogs, and I do have some toys that prompt them to catch and return. And, of course, I will feed and water your dog, and I am willing to socialize your dog with my dog - Luke. Boarding - I am willing to do it at my home boarding or your home boarding. If you want to board at my home, I have two tiny dogs, one big dog, my sister's cat, and her outside dog. My big dog Mickey loves to hang around outside. However, she does come in during the cold days and nights. She usually remains in the extra room in our home. My little dogs are NOT aggressive but shy and need time to acclimate with another dog in the house. My bigger dog is the polar opposite of my little dogs. She loves people and other dogs. She looks big, but she is a gentle giant. My sister's cat is a typical cat, but he does like dogs. Her dog is an outside dog that comes in for the night. He stays in the extra room at night. I will keep MY dogs separated by a doggy gate to introduce them to your dogs. My dogs will remain in one part of the home, while your dogs will remain in the main part of the home. This will allow the dogs to get to know one another on their terms. Usually, it takes a few minutes, sniffs, or visits for my little corgi/chihuahua dog (Luke) to become buddies with another dog. My other little chihuahua (Dexter) would prefer to be left alone and will leave your dog alone - he is a little loner :). Mickey (the big dog) won't engage with the dog, but she will be kind and gentle with them. I hope you provide crates for your dogs, so they have their own comfortable space. The crate is also useful when I leave them in the main part of the house for sleep or errand runs. There are many benefits to crate training a dog - they have their personal space, and if you leave them for a while, they won't get into anything. If you don't have crates, I have two crates belonging to my tiny dogs. I do not yet own a big dog crate because my big dog is trained not to jump on the couches or make a mess inside the home. If you are okay with it, I will take the dogs for a walk on the Dowa Yallane Mountain trails (for 30 - 45 minute walks). I will walk them in front of my home and back for bathroom breaks. Zuni is known for owning dogs, so I usually only take my dogs around my area because other dogs can be territorial. If you want to book during one of my teacher breaks or holidays, the rate may be higher, but we can talk about that in person.
Reviews
Natasha has walked our puppy multiple times a week for several months, and he boarded with her while we were out of town. She has always been communicative and gone above and beyond caring for him. She really does a great job with him. We appreciate her taking such good care of him!
Natasha did a great job watching our golden retriever for us while we were away on vacation for a week. She came to our house twice a day to take him out for a walk, feed him, and spend a little time with him. We knew Reggie was in good hands!
About Natasha N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small home and a big unfenced yard. I live near people and other dogs, so I usually don't let my dogs roam too far. I provide my dogs with meals every morning, afternoon, and evening. I also take them for walks after work and let them out for potty breaks. I crate my dogs if I am away for a while because I don't want them to get into anything they are not supposed to. When I am home, I let them roam around the house because I am there to watch them.
Home
Information Natasha N. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs. Big or small. I am not fearful of dogs and all you need to provide me with is clear details about what your dog is like. What you expect of me and my services.
A typical day
I love taking dogs to dog parks. I also love taking dogs into nature. Away from all the pavement so that they can explore other areas. However, if you prefer to have them walk around the neighborhood I can do that too.

Availability
If you book my services during my holiday breaks or teacher breaks, there may be an increased rate, and we can talk about that more when we meet. Furthermore, when I provide services during my holidays, I will give 100 percent of my attention to your dog. If you want me to walk or board during days when I am at work, that will look different.
