Meet the owner

Meet Natalya, the owner and founder of True Friends Pet Care – Professional Dog Walking and Pet Sitting company in Thousand Oaks, CA.

Natalya’s love for animals began at a very young age and has grown stronger throughout her life. She was raised in a family where compassion and love for all creatures was supported, cherished and encouraged.

Her strong passion for animals led her to receive a Degree in Veterinary Medicine in her home country. However, during the final year of studying she realized that she couldn’t stand seeing animals suffer or watch when they’re in pain, convincing her that this occupation was not for her.

After graduation, Natalya was looking for a job in the pet care industry, this brought her to a local Pet Resort. She cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, hamsters, mini pigs, tortoises, rats and parrots. She gained so much valuable and versatile pet care experience and knowledge. Volunteering at a local dog rescue was another great chapter in her life.

One day, after helping her neighbor take care of her dog and cat, she awoke with the idea of having her own business where she could combine unconditional love for animals and helping pet parents care for their fur kids.

“This business is something I could enjoy all my life, I want each of my furry clients to feel the warmth and unconditional love I can give them. I want to enrich their lives even more with healthy walks, exercise, and friendship. We don’t just pet sit, we build a long term relationship with each owner and their beloved pets, the furry members of their family. We want them to feel happy, relaxed and loved even when their owners are away”

True Friends Pet Care guarantees premium care for each pet, with the highest standards and ethics of the Pet Sitting business. We look forward to meeting you and your fur babies so you can see for yourself how much we love what we do. When our clients are happy, we are happy!
