Loving and energetic animal lover!

Pet care experience

I am an active 31 year old who just graduated college for horticulture with a focus in plant pathology. I have always been an animal lover. I mean how could you not love fluff balls!?! I Have had over 18 years of personal experience with dogs and cats. I’m extremely responsible and reliable. I have walked and dog sat during my off periods in college and I am always excited when I meet a new animal. Currently have a 10 year old tree walking coon hound named Mark Ruffalo. My dog is quite a handful of howls and has the occasional zooms but, is a loving sweetheart. I have a great deal of experience with energetic dogs. I am also willing to board and provide doggie day care with other dogs as long as they are good with other dogs. My dog is great with other dogs and usually minds his own business. I normally do a meet and greet with all my clients to get to know the dog or cat and see how they react to me or how they react to my house if we are boarding. I have a backyard for them to play in that is completely fenced in. Dogs must be fully house trained for boarding. I get requests a lot about puppies, which I do accept for walks and house sittings. However, for dog boarding all dogs must be housebroken :). I live very close to multiple parks and even a few minutes away from the Wissahickon park that has over 50 miles of trails. I am very patient and kind to all sorts of animals. I have had plenty experience with puppies, older dogs, energetic dogs, and even dogs with separation anxiety. I am so excited to take care of your fluffy babies. :)

Natasha is so great! She always kept us updated with frequent photos and videos and it’s clear that our dog and cat loved her. This was our second time having Natasha care for our fur babies but not the last - thank you!

Natasha is wonderful! My dog and cat absolutely adored her, and she was amazing with sending me photos and videos multiple times a day while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Natasha!!

Natasha is awesome. We have an elderly cat and two big, energetic dogs, one of which is still a puppy. We were nervous to leave them for the first time, (especially the young, mischievous one) but Natasha was super communicative with us all week and left the house spotless. They spent tons of time with the pups and cat, and their dog Mark got along famously with everyone. So glad to have Natasha in the neighborhood!!

Natasha was easy, flexible, and took great care of our two cats! Really went above and beyond to make them happy while we were gone.

Information Natasha R. would like to know about your pet

I personally would like to have a meet and greet of the animal before sitting or walking. I like to know the dogs habits, walk routine, food routine, and strange little quirks beforehand.

A typical day

I will take your dog around your neighborhood or if possible bring them to park nearby or at the Wissahickon. That is one of my favorite spots for doggie trail hikes.
