Pet care experience
Daily care for 5 pets, cats & dogs
Hi! I'm Ignacio, but I go by Nash. I grew up with a dog named Scotty in the Philippines, and pets have been part of my daily life ever since. I recently moved to Portland, and now I take care of my sister's five animals: three cats and two dogs. That means feeding on schedule twice a day, giving medication to Earl, our 16-year-old cat, twice a day, and plenty of yard time with our medium-sized dog Nova and Rumi, a small Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. Our cat Sebastian always tries to steal Earl's food, so feeding time takes some strategy to keep them both happy. I make it work. I'll send photos and updates so you know how your pet's day is going, and I always start with a meet and greet. It's the best way to know your pet is comfortable with me before you leave them in my care.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in your home, so my focus is keeping everything exactly as your pet expects it. I follow your feeding times, walk routes, and medication schedule, and I'll ask about house rules at the meet and greet, including which rooms are off-limits and what to do if something comes up. I'm comfortable giving oral medication to cats, and I'm used to dogs of most sizes, from a 16 lb terrier mix to a 45 lb Lab. If anything seems off with your pet, I'll reach out to you right away. We'll also go over your vet's contact info and what you'd want me to do in an emergency at the meet and greet, so there's a plan in place before it's ever needed.
Ratings and reviews
Nash is a true animal whisperer. He is equally loved by the dogs and cats in his care, and he administers medicine to even the most finicky of cats with such gentleness. He routinely looks after my Italian Greyhounds, Ringo and Parlay, and they are always so excited to see him and to go on walks around the neighborhood. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
Nash is wonderful with my cats and dogs! They warmed up to him right away. He is my go to pet sitter while I’m out of town, and I can rest easy knowing my babies are in good hands and cared for. Nash is good at following the specific instructions for feeding the pets, making sure they don’t eat each other’s food. He is skilled at giving my senior cat his twice a day oral medication. Responsible and caring, he’s great all around!

Schedule
I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I'm around during the day. That's a real advantage for house sitting, since your pet gets company for most of the day instead of an empty house. I'm available for overnight stays, and I can do walks or drop-ins most days with a bit of notice.
