My name is Natasha and I am 34 years old.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and Organic Chemistry and have completed Doctoral research to identify ways to improve the fertility of endangered species using computational biology techniques. I am currently working on tracking environmental pathogens.
I am available for dog walking and pet sitting in Eastbourne, Oriental Bay/Mount Victoria/Roseneath, Lyall bay, and Khandallah.
I can also provide puppy training and babysitting services.
Dog walking:
I am of excellent fitness and would love to take your dog on regular runs around the nearby bush tracks, beaches, and parks. Each walk/run is for 1 hour minimum, and will generally be longer. I am happy to come and meet you and your dog beforehand. Please note that I am based in Eastbourne and would prefer to avoid travelling to your home during peak hours.
Pet sitting:
I have looked after pets in people's homes in Canada, Australia and New Zealand for a period ranging from 1 week to 3 months. My priority is to keep your pup happy and mentally stimulated. I will ensure I interact and play with your dog throughout the day and take them on a 1 hour walk (minimum) each day. I often go on much longer bush walks and trips to the beach. I am very respectful of the homes I stay in and ensure they are immaculate for owners to come home to. I am happy to also water gardens, mow lawns and anything else that may be required.
I send photo/video updates each day so you can feel at ease with knowing that your pooch is happy and in safe hands.
Dog boarding:
I live in a beachfront house in Eastbourne near a dog friendly park and the butterfly creek walking track so it is very accessible for swims and walks. My home has a large front and back yard (fully fenced and with trees for shade). I work from home so I can provide all day supervision and companionship in between walks/exercise.
I am only able to offer this service for dogs that I have looked after before (either via walks or pet sitting in your home).
Please note:
Please ensure that your dog is freshly bathed (with dog shampoo) and is up-to-date with worm and flea treatments. Likewise, if your dog gets muddy/dirty while in my care, I will bathe them :)
Please also let me know if your dog has any behavioural problems before our meet and greet.
My daily rate for pet sitting/boarding is $125 per day over public holiday weekends, school holidays as well as over the Christmas/New Years break.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Doggy day care and Dog walks always have a flexible cancellation policy:
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Natasha was great with our golden retriever 5 months old puppy. She clearly communicated what was needed (crate, toys, towels, shampoo etc.) for a 4-night overnight stay at her place. She also sent us frequent updates on activities and how our pup was. Her location is also great for dogs. Highly recommended.
Natasha cared for our pup for a week and she took such wonderful care of him I’m not sure he wanted to come home! She was considerate to his needs, kept him very well exercised and made special efforts to bond with him. She also sent regular photo and video updates which we loved. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Natasha 😊
