Natalya

Hello,

My name is Natalya, and I am a full-time dog owner, lover & walker! Growing up, animals have always been a huge part of my life and rescuing animals of all kinds was a frequent tradition in my household. If there is a dog close by, I am guaranteed to go introduce myself and see if I can win a slobbery kiss or two. I am the proud mama of two mutts, who mean the entire world to me - Reese, a 5 ½-year-old Schnauzer-terrier mix who loves going on hikes, cuddling & hanging with his big brother Maddox. Reese is also in the process of becoming a Therapy Dog through St. Johns Ambulance and will be soon visiting hospitals and retirement homes to spread his love. Maddox, also known as Benjamin Buttons, is a 17-year-old German Shepard mix rescue pup whose health seems to improve over time! He is a big lover of back scratches, treats & running in the snow.

Last year I decided it was time to make a change in my career because I wanted to surround myself with the thing that makes me the happiest. What was that you ask? Dogs! So, I quit my day job and began walking dogs full-time. In addition to working on dog walking platforms, I also own a downtown-based dog walking company. As a full-time walker, I have become very familiar with dogs of different breeds, sizes & temperaments. I care for seniors & puppies, rescued pups and those with aggression or fearfulness. If you are working on training commands, let me help with that too! As a dog owner, I know one of the most anticipated moments in a dog’s day is hearing that front door open. I also understand how busy schedules can be, making it difficult to provide the necessary time your best buds deserve and require. Having a consistent, reliable, helping hand to assist in the care for your loved ones makes a world of a difference for a dog owner and that’s why I’m here to help! I can honestly say there is no other way I would prefer to spend my day than with dogs, I look forward to meeting yours soon!

What to expect with my services?

Meet & Greet -

typically 15 Minutes

Meet and Greets are a must,

I do highly suggest them as they are a great way for your furry loved one to become comfortable with me as their new walker! If they see that you trust me, they will too! This will make their walk much more enjoyable for them. During this time, you can provide me with as much information as possible to help me better care for your loved one.

Dog Walks – 30 Minutes

As each dog is unique, so are my walks. Once I learn about your dog and their favorite parks or walking routes, I will then design different walking routes specifically for them. Walks are all done on leash, but with your permission, we can visit some off-leash dog parks to let your pup run around and burn energy with like-minded dogs. You will get a walk update included with photos after the walk. If you would like a longer walk, let me know and I can make that happen for an additional charge!

Home Visits – 30 Minutes

Home visits are again, designed for each individual pup. They include, but are not limited to playtime, cuddle time, feeding, watering, medication administration. If you need anything additional. Please let me know and I would be happy to add that in as well.
