Hi! My name's Nate! I'm a dog-loving botanist who recently earned a Master of Science at Duke University. A life-long dog owner and self-proclaimed dog whisperer, I've never met a dog I haven't loved, or gotten along with! Having grown up with English Mastiffs, English Bulldogs and Basset Hounds, my experience spans the size spectrum and several health complications that required special attention. I get almost as much fun out of playing with dogs as they do, and am sprite enough to keep up with even the most energetic breeds. Whether your canine companion just needs company during the day, or whether there's just too much energy being made to remain cooped inside all day, I'm good at reading what dogs like and getting their tail wagging.
