Hello! I'm Natalia and I grew up in South Africa. I'm an all nature lover and I made Utrecht my home.
Living in Africa I was lucky enough to be surrounded by nature and I also grew up with lots of dogs. My passion continued into my adult years and traveling for a living as cabin crew enabled me to experience so many incredible creatures from all over the world. I did some volunteering at animal shelters and I am currently volunteering at a local Dierenweide / Kinderboerderij. I am in my element when I am surrounded by animals. As I moved to the Netherlands, incorporating my love for animals into a part time job as a dog sitter and care giver is great. I currently look after 2 dogs regularly and am happy to give references. I love to take the dogs to parks where i have the opportunity to help socialize your dog while i walk and train them. I believe dogs need consistency in training and therefore would continue your methods. It ' s important for you to be clear about what your pet needs in order for me to give them the attention they need. I always had rescues growing up, and i understand that they all have their own stories and background.
We are also owners of an incredible cat, who we love dearly. Having him has exposed me to the Feline world and i am also available to look after cats and kittens who i enjoy to train and play with. To further my knowledge in looking after your feline friends, i have a Feline behavioral and psychology Diploma.
I realize and relate to how important our pets are and consider them to be family and therefore understand how crucial it is to find the right sitter for them when you are away. Feel free to contact me for any questions or a possible meet up to see if we are a good match. Due to Dutch classes, I will not be available on Tuesday and Thursday Evenings from 16: 00-21: 00
Natalia is a very nice, organized and attentive person. She sent us frequent updates, photos and videos of our cat, Kiki. We could clearly see that Kiki felt very happy around her. Besides she took care that there was no litter on the floor. I highly recommend Natalia!
Natalia is very pleasant and kind and was perfect with our cats. They adopted her from day one! She sent us daily news with videos and photos, which was very reassuring. We highly recommend her and we will call her again.
