Nat and friends of Nat's Pet Care and House Sitting, LLC had an amazing year volunteering, donating, and meeting wonderful pets and their owners, while supporting like-minded organizations. Here are some highlights from this year's events. Nat and her team are excited for 2026!
Dodge for the Dogs: Dodgeball Tournament

This was the first year for this event and WOW, was it such a fun and competitive event! Nat volunteered as well as participated on her friend, Trevor Johnson, on his team 'Trevor's Angels'. Though we didn't win the big prize this year, we had the best time getting together some healthy competition benefitting our friends at Because You Care, Inc. Next year's
event is scheduled for March 2026 if you're interested in getting a team together or participating.


Nat was moving and grooving at Port Farms this past May for this paw-tastic event! Small Town Rollers and Royek to drew in a great crowd to benefit Because You Care, Inc.'s Second Chance program.
Nat and friend Ashley Troutman (another volunteer with BYC) loved the taco bar, fantastic music, the PAWESOME raffle as well as discounted merch all in support.

Party for the Paws!

Nat’s Pet Care had an un-fur-gettable time at Because You Care’s Party for the Paws event! For every pet name attached to our board, we donated one quarter to BYC. After a turnout of more than 220 signatures, we donated a total of $55.50!

We held an exciting raffle for a spooky pup basket during the event for everyone who came by to greet us! A big congratulations to our winner, Marlena A. from Wesleyville! We look forward to seeing you at next year's Party!
