In our household, we refer to Natasha as “the Dog Whisperer”. This is due to the fact that within a few mere minutes of meeting our rather shy and skittish Bernese Mountain Dog, Daisy was leaning into Natasha with an adoring look like they had known each other forever. Daisy is very attached to us and our concern when she was a puppy was to find a walker we knew she could feel safe with. Then we found Natasha. She’s really able to read what Daisy needs on different days and adapts her walks and plays to that. Our minds are completely at ease if we have to be away and we know Natasha is coming to walk Daisy. If there is anyone that our dog loves as much as us, it is Natasha - and we have tried other walkers and kennels. She just has a WAY with dogs. We think it’s her gentleness and caring as a human being. She is also fantastic with large breeds. We’ve seen her walk away with what must have been 300 pounds of dog (our Berner; a Great Dane and a medium-sized mix), all looking at her adoringly and hanging on her every command.
If you are looking for a combination of love and affection as opposed to dominance and discipline, than look no further than Chasing Tails. Our only hesitation in recommending Natasha is that we don’t want her to be too overloaded and take away from her time with Daisy! She is such a big part of what makes our house work. We would recommend Natasha’s services to anyone wanting quality, tailored care for their dogs.

Pogo can be very sensitive in regards to meeting new people, but she took a liking to Natasha right away - it was then that we knew we had found the ideal person to care for Pogo in our absence!
Not only do we have the comfort of knowing that Pogo is safe and happy at all times while out on her walks, we also enjoy the notes and anecdotes that Natasha leaves for us to read at the end of their adventures. The level of reliable, responsible, and mindful attention that Pogo receives is above and beyond what we could have hoped for in finding someone to help us keep her exercised and content on those days where we are unable to take her to work with us. We would not hesitate to endorse Chasing Tails for any of the pet services that you may require!

Mae is a rescue with a few health issues and special needs that make private walks with someone who is caring, reliable, patient and willing to work with her essential. Natasha is that person - she treats Mae like her own dog and gives Mae all the extra time, attention and care she needs. That's on top of a belly rub before the walk begins or a good towelling off afterwards if it's been a wet one. I feel very confident leaving Mae in Natasha's capable hands while I'm at work. I also appreciate the daily notes Natasha leaves letting me know how Mae's been, whether she was energetic or slow, playful or cuddly, had a BM or just pees.
Most importantly, Mae loves Natasha. She lights up when she sees Natasha, wags her stump like a crazy dog and does a happy Mae dance. For me, there's no higher praise or better endorsement. I can't recommend Chasing Tails highly enough.

I have been using Chasing Tails for a while now. I must say how impressed I am with the outstanding service Natasha has provided. Jackson is very excited when he goes for his walks with Natasha and the gang. He has never been so fit and happy. I know Jackson is in good and caring hands. He has fun everyday, and that is priceless. I would recommend Natasha and Chasing Tails as the best, most professional and fun dog walking service I have used. I do not question Natasha's professionalism and loyalty to the well being of my dog. Natasha and Chasing Tails is outstanding! Her service is AAA+.

It's a great feeling going to work knowing that Cooper will be getting picked up at the same time everyday by his second best friend. At lease I like to think Natasha is Coopers second best friend… I sometimes wonder whom Coop really loves more.
I know Cooper loves spending time with Natasha because she is trustworthy and loveable. I know this because one of the many great things about her is that Natasha leaves notes in a logbook about Coopers time spent with her. Yes, even pee and poo reports. :)
I've been using Natasha's services for a year and a half now. Over the summer I boarded Cooper with Natasha. Knowing he was in the best care going on long walks and cuddles at night made for a relaxing weekend away with my family.
Cooper is a very important member of our family. It is very comforting to know that Natasha is very reliable and flexible. I would recommend Natasha's high quality dog services to anyone.

Since adding children to our family, we found we had less time for our first girl - our dog Abby. We not only wanted to find someone who could walk Abby a few times a week but also someone who would be her special friend. We found just that in Natasha. Abby loves her time with Natasha and doesn't want it to end. When Abby comes home from her walks, I have to practically pull her inside so Natasha can leave. We feel so lucky to have found someone as reliable and flexible as Natasha that Abby absolutely adores.

Hi!
My name is Lexie Loo and I love going on my walks with Natasha at Chasing Tails Professional Pet Services. My mom and I live alone and I wasn't used to being around too many people, which made me a little nervous around the new humans I would meet; sometimes barking and growling at them while hiding behind my mommy's leg. With the help of Chasing Tails and Natasha I have gotten over my nervousness around strangers because we meet so many different people on our walks, and I don't feel the need to protect my mom. When I get picked up I can't help but get excited because I know I am about to have a grand old time! To all the other mommy's out there whose babies need some extra attention or exercise, I recommend Chasing Tails Professional Pet Services.
Thank you Chasing Tails!

When we moved to Riverdale we were anxious to find a new, reliable dog walker for our two dogs Maddie and Sophie. Fortunately, we came across Natasha's company, Chasing Tails and we have been so pleased with her services. She is reliable, flexible and treats our dogs as if they were her own. Our dogs are seniors and she helps provide extra special care when required. They come bounding to the front door whenever she arrives. Thank you Chasing Tails for your outstanding, professional and caring service!
Duska, Andrew, Maddie and Sophie

Our family has the utmost confidence in Chasing Tails... Max loves his daily walks and is always very tired from all his exercise at the end of the day when we get home. It's great to know that he is in such good hands and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chasing Tails to anyone with a pet that needs some extra love during the day. It's worth it to know that your pet is being cared for when you can’t be around.
Mike, Andrea, Sian and Max

My Dearest Natasha,
It's been so long since you have run your fingers through my fur! Since we walked together down the avenue to the envy of all those other dogs. Oh how I've missed you! My days are spent remembering our happy times together; the romps in the park, your kind tickling of my tummy, the mouthwatering snacks for which, my Darling you know I would follow you anywhere.
I long for the musical lilt of your voice as you call my name across the park, the splendid hours we spent playing fetch. Sigh. When oh when will my people leave town again so we can be together?
Your devoted,
Riley

We are Maggie and Sally, we met Natasha just a few months ago when our Mom had to work a lot. We love spending time with our Natasha, not just on walks but we get to stay at her house too! We get lots of attention and cuddles with her and come home very, very happy. She even helped me, Sally (little dog), when I had an eye infection and needed medicine. She's great and you'd be a lucky dog to have her as a friend too!

I want to thank Chasing Tails for taking care of my “Little Zoo”. You go above and beyond what I ever expected. My favorite is coming home and reading the “Daily Log book”, this lets me see what my kittens have been up to while I was away. You provide me with reliable, flexible and professional service. It gives me peace of mind to know they are well taken care of when I am not there.
Thank you Chasing Tails!!!!!!!!! - Andrea, Nitro, Boo, & Tushie
