About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in the 6th grade, and my lifelong love for animals truly began when my family’s Rottweilers had two litters of 12 puppies. Being involved in raising, socializing, and caring for that many dogs at once taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of attentive, compassionate care from an early age. When I moved out on my own, having pets of my own was a natural next step. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, exercise needs, basic training reinforcement, administering medications when needed, and recognizing when a pet may not be feeling their best. I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously—ensuring they receive not just proper care, but plenty of affection and attention as well. I have a very open schedule so I am able to fit pet care very easily into whatever day I need to. I am blessed to be able to have such a flexible schedule. In clients home I make sure to follow exactly what the pet owner instructs for their pet. I do not stray from what the owners instruct. I always check in with the owner with ant problems or confusion.

“I am so thrilled I was able to connect with Natalie to walk our Yorkie Bichon. She was on time, happy to take input about Gilly and her routine. She kept me updated on the walk and returned at the time I asked her to. Gilly loved her and it’s clear Natalie really cares about animals. I know she cares for cats as well and I’m looking forward to using her regularly. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I have hundreds of volunteering hours logged with both cat and dog foster agencies and animal shelters. I am experienced with fur babies of all ages and have been caring for animals since I was a freshman in high school! I work from home, and am able to pet sit in a wide range of areas and times during the week. My work allows me to be flexible and available for your pets' needs. I am attentive and careful about details when it comes to your pets. I have experience administrating medicine, keeping pets clean, and providing fun and stimulation for pets from both my own fur babies as well as others I have cared for over the years.

Bella went on several walks with Bryan over two days, and the experience was excellent. Bella looked happy and calm. He was very attentive and followed all the instructions I gave him. We only had one walk that was a bit later than scheduled, but it was resolved without any issue. Overall, I was very satisfied with his service and would definitely trust him again. 🐶💕
