"Natalie is an exceptional dog sitter. She cared for my Weimaraner, a very high energy dog. My Weimaraner is always well cared for, happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I have complete trust in Natalie and would recommend her without hesitation."
Your pets stay home, happy and loved.
I'm Natalie, a live-in house and pet sitter and home watch provider in the Florida Keys, with over 100 sits and 20 years of caring for animals of every age and personality.

Calm, patient care that feels like family.
I've cared for everything from brand-new puppies to fragile senior dogs, cats and all kinds of other animals. Each pet gets their own routine, their own pace and a lot of affection.
I bring a holistic approach to pet wellness and pay close attention to diet, comfort, mood and the small changes that matter. Anxious, shy or high-energy animals settle in with me because I'm patient and keep things calm.
Your home gets the same care: plants, mail, trash, secure doors and windows, and a tidy house when you get back. You'll get regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax while you're away.
Professionally, I'm a senior experiential and event producer, managing vendors, budgets and big logistics for brands. I work remotely, so your pets aren't left alone all day and your home always has someone there. I bring the same organization and reliability to every sit.

Away for the season? Your Keys home is in good hands.
Plenty of Keys homes sit empty for weeks or months. Heat, humidity, storms and small leaks can turn into big problems fast. I check on your home on a schedule that suits you and send a photo report after every visit, so you always know it's okay.
No pets needed. Weekly, biweekly or custom visits, plus one-off checks after storms.

A few of my favorite faces.
Real pups I've cared for: big and small, young and old, all spoiled.























Cats, horses, tortoises and chickens too.
Feeding schedules, litter boxes, enclosures, coops, egg collection and horse care: every animal in your home gets the same attentive care.







Walks, beach days and plenty of zoomies.
Big, bouncy and busy dogs get the exercise they need: long walks, fetch, play dates and adventures, so they're happy and tired at the end of the day.











"I cannot imagine a better place for Dash than with Natalie, when we are away."Zsuzsanna T. · Five-star review
What pet parents say.
Five stars across every review, with repeat clients who book again and again.

"Knowledgeable, caring, and fun, who goes above and beyond. She communicated frequently, sent photos and videos."
"My dog always is given back to me happy and I can tell he has had a great time (maybe even sad to leave)."
Longer sits are my specialty.
One month or longer
For sits of a month or more, I can waive my sitting fee in exchange for the stay. Your pets get live-in, around-the-clock care at home, with no boarding costs and no stress. Extended and recurring sits are welcome.
Open now: Oct 29 – Nov 19
I have open dates from October 29 through November 19 and would love to fill them. Sits of any length during this window are welcome, from a few days to the full three weeks, anywhere in the Keys. Shorter sits outside these dates are possible too, with flexible, fair rates.
Let's meet your pets.
Send me your dates, where you are in the Keys and a little about your animals or your home watch needs. I'm happy to meet first, and references and more photos are available on request.
