Walking with nats
Welcome to walking with nats a fun professional dog walking and pet sitting service. My name is Natalie, I have been looking after animals since I was very small providing them with a high quality of care and having lots of fun whilst doing so. Which led me in to working with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, wildlife and many other animals. I have have rescued many animals over the years. I was a polo groom for 20 years which involved me looking after the ponies and travelling them around the country, where i became a welfare officer for one polo club, which I really enjoyed with my dogs travelling in the lorry with me for company.I have a big passion for photography and spend my spare time taking photos of dogs or wildlife. I have been published in a few magazines featuring British and African wildlife, and also with my own rescue dog Sherman in adult and children's colouring books.I know from my own experience with my dogs just what a huge role they play in our lives, they are our everything. I am trustworthy, reliable, fully insured, and DBS certified. When life is busy you can rely on me to listen to you about any of your pets needs to ensure they are safe and happy whilst in my care.
I love being outside all day, so why not take a few friends with you.
I provide a pop in service, where I can come into your home and help break up your animals day by playing boredom buster games which help the dogs use their brains and relax while you are away from home.
I cover Lancing, Sompting, Shoreham, Steyning, Poyning, Henfield, and surrounding areas.
Please contact me to see if I can i help you.
Nats and the gang!
We offer a wide range of services
Dog walking
Dog walking in small groups, your dog will enjoy being out in a group making friends. The walks are varied from the beach to the downs. The van is air conditioned for comfort on warmer days. I am fully insured, dog first aid trained and DBS checked. We go for walks every day, covering the local area. The dogs wear a GPS tracker for peace of mind and to keep them safe while in our care. The van has a paw wash facility so they don't tread muddy paws indoors.
The dogs travel in their own cage for safety, no one is doubled up.
Pet sitting in your home

Natalie is amazing with all animals. She can walk your dog and look after any other pet you may have. In the years she has been working she has looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and taken care of and driven very expensive polo ponies and was a welfare officer travelling them around the country.
She house sits as well as walking dogs and also loves hedgehogs running a local hedgehog group online. She will be looking after my very precious cats the next time we go away 😻

Basil is a very happy and satisfied customer of walking with Nats. We have regular dog walks/house sitting and can thoroughly recommend this service to other dog lovers.
Natalie is trustworthy, very reliable and has a excellent relationship with our dog, who is always over the moon to see her and go off for his walk. He then spends the rest of the day contentedly in his bed.
Basil receives a really individualised and bespoke service. This is invaluable for him and us, as he is a rescue dog, with a few quirks.
It is wonderful to see what a great relationship he has with Natalie and we have every confidence leaving him in her care.

I have been using Natalie for over a year. I wouldnt trust any one else with Coco. Natalie is kind, caring and reliable. She has a way with the dogs that only a dog lover would have, she keeps me informed how Coco is on her walks and sends me lots of photos. I recommend Natalie to any one who needs a dog walker.
Abi
Natalie has cared for my pets regularly. I find her extremely professional. She has great rapport with my animals. They are comfortable in her presence and always greet her with excitement. She works closely with me to be sure that all of my animals are comfortable in my absence. She has deep and abiding love and affection for all the animals in her care. I always recieve the most wonderful photos after each walk which I will cherish forever.
I have no hesitation recommending Natalie as a pet care giver and dog walker. I feel completely secure leaving her in control of my pets when I am gone, and know that I will return home to pets that are not stressed out and nervous but calm and very sleepy after a great walk.
Above all Natalie is just genuinley kind and a pleasure to have her around we couldnt recommend more highly.
