"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."

Natalie BloomerHouse sitter · Home watch · Florida Keys
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.

Home watch & property care
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.

Longer sits are my specialty.
