Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Home Away from Home🐾🥰
Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds.

Ratings and reviews
Splash had a great day with Natsuko and Luna! The dogs played very well together and were well walked despite the rain. My dog came home happy and tired. Great updates throughout the day!! Splash is looking forward to playing again.
Wonderful care of Lizzie for our long family vacation. Could not have asked for more love and attention with updates. Thank you!
Natsuko is kind, responsible, caring and wonderful. Lizzie was loved and so well cared for.
Natsuko is a highly communicative, thoughtful, and organized pet caretaker who has a genuine love for dogs. She takes care to understand each pet’s needs alongside the owner’s preferences. She really brings an amazing balance of warmth and professionalism, and is consistently reliable and attentive. Natsuko also maintains a clean, well-kept home, which was important for me. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive caregiver!!
Natsuko’s name literally means “child of summer”, which perfectly encapsulates her warm loving heart. She brings incredible care and gentleness to every room she’s in - her own pup has blossomed from a scared shelter dog to a silly cuddle bug. She’s committed to experience - Natsuko’s family dog even speaks on command via buttons! I trust her with my life and all living things :)

Schedule
I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.
