As a stay-at-home pet sitter, having my dog Sully as part of my daily routine makes the experience even more enjoyable and natural. Sully keeps me on a regular schedule with morning walks, play sessions, and quiet downtime, which also benefits the visiting pets in my care. His friendly and calm demeanor helps new animals feel at ease, creating a welcoming environment in our home. Throughout the day, I’m able to balance caring for Sully with meeting the needs of other pets, making it a smooth and rewarding routine that feels more like a lifestyle than a job.

About Nathalie L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I offer dedicated pet sitting services for both dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a clean and cozy environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Dogs enjoy regular walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of affection, while cats have quiet spaces to explore, rest, and feel at ease in their own dedicated bedroom with a large window. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, fresh water, and any special care routines needed, treating every pet like a member of the family.

Information Nathalie L. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pets, it’s important to understand their individual personalities, preferences, and needs. For dogs, I need to know their energy levels and exercise requirements, any dietary restrictions, and specific health concerns. Cats may have different play preferences, such as whether they enjoy chasing toys, interactive play, or more quiet, independent activities. Be aware of any allergies, sensitivities, or behavioral issues they may have. Also, it’s essential to know if they have a favorite spot to relax or need specific grooming routines. Familiarizing yourself with their usual routine can help them feel more comfortable and secure. Lastly, always overview on any medical history or medications.
A typical day
When caring for cats and dogs, I love to engage them in a variety of fun activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. For dogs, I often organize interactive play sessions like fetch, agility games, and relaxing walks on quiet trails in the Ottawa NCC trails where they can explore new scents and surroundings. I also use lick mats and bowls to provide a calming and enriching experience during feeding time. For cats, I provide plenty of enrichment with toys like feather wands, puzzle feeders, and cozy spaces for climbing and lounging. I tailor each activity to suit the pet’s personality and energy level, ensuring they feel loved, entertained, and well-cared for.

The Loft for Tails
Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the compassionate, personalized care I provide—especially for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I’m experienced in supporting aging pets with mobility issues, medication routines, and gentle, low-impact enrichment to keep them comfortable and engaged. I also understand the sensitivity required to care for sick cats, providing calm, attentive support and close monitoring for any changes in health. Alongside my enrichment-based approach—using games, puzzles, and play tailored to each pet—I maintain open communication with pet parents, offering regular updates and reassurance. I aim to be a calm, trusted presence in your pet’s life and a reliable source of peace of mind for you.
Reviews
Always amazing!!
Nathalie was the most accommodating and wonderful dog sitter for Charlotte. Charlotte is not straight forward to introduce to other dogs and Nathalie was willing to try anyways and it worked out so well! I’m so glad Charlotte got to hang out with some other dogs over the holidays and plenty of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Nathalie took amazing care of our pup Mojito. She sent regular updates and photos, and was flexible when I needed to shift the schedule. Would definitely recommend!
Nathalie was amazing! Came to meet my dog and I before the planned stay and picked her up. Excellent communication and very easy going. Highly recommend!
