About me

59, Writer, astrologer, life coach

Hello! I have had an affinity for animals as long as I can remember. I can tell you honestly that I love yours even before meeting them. Spending time with animals makes me so happy and fulfilled.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

For me it's all about the animals. It's nice to get to see a new place in the world once in a while, but my focus and source of joy is spending time with your pets and helping them thrive during the time you are away.

I have been pet sitting since I was 9 years old. My twin sister and I had our own pet sitting business every summer growing up. When I got older I started taking care of people's houses and staying with their pets, sometimes for months. I grew up with indoor cats and I have had cats of my own, but none currently.

Through the years I have taken care of many wonderful cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, bunnies, turtles, fish, a pig and even a sheep! I have learned animal communication ...

When I got older I started taking care of people's houses and staying with their pets, sometimes for months. I grew up with indoor cats and I have had cats of my own, but none currently.

Through the years I have taken care of many wonderful cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, bunnies, turtles, fish, a pig and even a sheep! I have learned animal communication skills and can often tell what animals are thinking and feeling.

It would be my honor to look after your precious family members as if they were my own -- to give them the emotional and physical security, safety and support they need while they are away from you AND to allow you maximum enjoyment on your trip.

As a writer, I am able spend all day at home with your pets and would be thrilled to give them an abundance of affection and attention.

I will look after your home as if it were my own. I am extremely clean, lead a healthy lifestyle, and am very quiet and responsible. I fastidiously make sure that when you return, you barely know I have been there. I have done many housesits for owners who were travelling abroad and I have handled everything smoothly.

Please note I am most compatible with homes without an abundance chemicals and artificially scented products such as plug ins, air fresheners, Fabuloso, Method, and Mrs Meyers to name a few. .

I look forward to hearing from you!

I have administered medications as well as taken animals to emergency vet visits when their parents were out of town. I am equipped to deal with a wide range of situations and always let your pet take the lead in how much affection and attention they want. Spoiler alert: we always end up being best buddies!

From House Sitters America
Natasha was exceptional from start to finish. Her communication was thoughtful, proactive, and reassuring, with wonderful updates, photos, and videos throughout our trip. Most importantly, our cat—who is friendly but very discerning—bonded with her in a way we’ve never seen with another sitter. He followed her around, cuddled on the couch, played constantly, and was clearly happy and relaxed. She was flexible and consummately professional, leaving our home spotless and our plants ... MoreNatasha was exceptional from start to finish. Her communication was thoughtful, proactive, and reassuring, with wonderful updates, photos, and videos throughout our trip. Most importantly, our cat—who is friendly but very discerning—bonded with her in a way we’ve never seen with another sitter. He followed her around, cuddled on the couch, played constantly, and was clearly happy and relaxed. She was flexible and consummately professional, leaving our home spotless and our plants thriving. After hosting nearly a dozen good cat sitters over the last 6 years, I can say without a doubt that she blew them out of the water. We returned to a happy cat and a home in fantastic condition. We recommend her without hesitation - she is a trusted partner to us and beloved by our cat!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. I am nostalgic for my time with my special little buddy in your beautiful home. Hope to see you all soon!
From House Sitters America
Natasha was unbeatable! Over the top with her kindness, attention, love, dedication, and hard work when my cat got sick and needed to be taken to the vet! No easy task even for a pet owner! I give her an A plus and a very strong recommendation!
From House Sitters America
Natasha was our first sitter using House Sitters America and what a first. From communication to care, we could not have asked for anyone better. We trusted and knew that Dmitri was not only getting excellent care, but that he was the focus of her time during the sit. She communicated just the right amount of times and we were kept informed with how things were going. We highly recommend Natasha if you need solid care.
Thank you for the very kind review. I still miss Dmitri!
From House Sitters America
Our kitty was CALM and chill when we got home. Obviously he had a great time with Natasha and enjoyed her stay! He got his meds easily and regularly and ate well. The house was ship-shape too. Natasha has a special way with kitties! She is conscientious and caring. Highly recommended.
