Hello everyone!
I'm an freelance journalist & printmaker with a green cert in Agriculture. I originally grew up on a farm in the shticks of county Kilkenny. Animals have been at the forefront of my life for many years. At one point, we had 15 dogs at home! Alongside the family farm, my mum also runs a donkey sanctuary, however she keeps falling in love with her donkeys and ends up keeping them all!
In Dublin, I'm the proud owner of my cat-baby, Seven. She's the little grey rescue from my pictures. My own girl is quite picky and skittish, so I'm well used to handling cats with that type of temperament. I have further experience with birds (cockatiel and budgie), and I'm also very experienced with dogs of any size and personality (be it timid, reactive, hyper, and so on).
I'm very laid back in terms of my schedule and can work to whatever routine you've already set up with your pet. Feel free to message me with any questions and I'd love to chat!

Natalie was awesome. She was diligent about understating our cats needs and routines. Great communication before and during the care period. Just the right amount of updates were provided regularly and with great humour. We felt really comfortable leaving her in charge of our cats and house. We absolutely recommend her and we will be using her service again. Thanks Natalie.
Natalie immediately connected with my two nervous greyhounds, who were very comfortable with her. She is a very friendly, reliable and conscientious walker who truly loves animals.
