Amazing OC pet sitter
Pet care experience
Hi all! I'm excited to start taking on new clients again. A little about me: I've been a pet sitter since 2007 and have pet sat primarily cats, dogs, and fish but I'm open to caring for other domestic animals. I have a degree in animal science from Cal Poly Pomona. I have experience giving medication (topical, transdermal, oral, ophthalmic, and subcutaneous) to both cats and dogs. I've pet-sat quite a few bulldogs, so this is where most of my experience has come from ;) I offer overnight pet sitting as well as visits. I can offer dog walking, however, I have some neck and shoulder issues, so I unfortunately can not walk dogs that have high energy, pull, or are leash-aggressive :( I'd be happy to provide plenty of references for your consideration and can arrange a meet and greet if you're interested in hiring me!
Reviews
Natasha is an amazing pet sitter! We have used her numerous times for our 3 cats and our corgi. Our animals are like our children so we trust them with very few people. Our animals love her!
I would only leave my "boys" with Natasha! She cares and loves my dogs like they are my kids. I feel comfortable leaving them because I know she will care for them like I do. She is the best and I can leave knowing they are in good hands. I call Natasha their "God Mother." Once you meet her you'll see how much she loves animals. She is loving and responsible and I promise your pet will love her!!!
About Natasha S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My pets are my babies, they are my family, and I see my clients animals as an extension of my own fur family. I treat every living being with the love, care, and respect they deserve. I abide by the owner's instructions and keep the normal routine for the pet so as to not confuse them. Whether you hire me for visits or overnight care, my goal is to keep your pets safe and as stress-free as possible while you are away.
Information Natasha S. would like to know about your pet
Before I decide to care for your animals, it is important to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so that I have a better understanding of your cat or dog's activity level, temperament, general health, and overall daily routine. I am comfortable around all breeds and sizes of dogs as long as they are friendly with strangers. If the dog requires walking, I would need for them to not be leash aggressive i.e. pull or charge towards another dog/other animals as I have some neck and shoulder issues; this is for the safety of your dog, the other animal, and myself.
A typical day
When I'm with your pets, I will play with them with their favorite toys, I'll let your dog run around the backyard and throw the ball or frisbee for them if they like. If you have a bird feeder, I may even refill it for you so that your cats can watch their favorite "show". I also love taking pictures of animals, so don't be surprised if I send you a silly photoshopped pic of your animal!

Availability
I currently work a full time job during the week from 8am-4:30pm. I'm available for overnight pet sitting as well as evening drop-in visits. My visits include feeding, water refresh, litter box cleaning, playtime, feeding the fish, taking in mail/packages, and alternating lights in the evening for safety. I have some physical limitations, so unfortunately I can not take care of high energy dogs or walk strong dogs that pull or are leash aggressive.
