Are you asking an English translation for the phrase or are you wanting someone to verify if you translated the phrase correctly?

I thought that phrase meant with confidence and ease. "Con toda confianza y naturalidad"

That would be "like he owned the place" in English. To feel at home would be different for sure, so maybe I mis-translated the phrase.

Thanks, JPablo, I just now understood that the phrase is a Spanish idiom

Esos pájaros se espantaban cuando yo salía al jardín, pero ahora andan como Pedro por su casa y nunca se van.
Those birds used to get scared when I came out to the garden, but now they behave as if they owned the place and they never leave.

¿Por qué no pides permiso para entrar a mi oficina? Vas y vienes como Pedro por su casa.
Why don't you ask for permission to come into my office? You come and go as if you were at home.
