Best Dog Sitter EVER!!!
Pet care experience
Hello, Before I indulge you with my words, please take the time to see what others have said about me - my reviews. These are clients in their own words. I very much enjoy little dogs and taking care of them. One of my current clients refers to my wife and I as Chihuahua wisperers. Unfortunately, I have very limited availability - so if its open - BOOK IT!!! I am home full time - small backyard, and did I mention I LOVE dogs?!?!? My specialty is small and toy sized dogs. We have a little dog door that is freely used. I hope you like updates, because I tend to send 2 to 3 a day. Sometimes way more. Videos of your baby wagging their tail happen occasionally. They will be able to say "thank you" ... For Meet and Greets: Shoot me a message. Know I have 4 dogs, so it will be loud when you visit. If I was to describe the sitter I am to your dogs::: A. No crates. I don't crate your babies during the day or night. Look, I love dogs - period. If they prefer to be in their "home" ... bring it. I can leave it available for them. If your babies are like mine - they like to roam, sniff out strange new areas, bark at the occasional crackle of the wind. If they choose to sleep on a bed, or next to me, or perhaps that blanket reminding them of home - they will have choices. :) B. Loving in general. I personally love to talk to dogs. Call me crazy, but my belief is they can understand to some extent facial expressions and love. I enjoy taking care of animals. If I were out of town, I would want to know my baby had a person there to hold them. Care for them. Feed them and love them. Not just an occasional pat on the back. I support the dogs while their family is away. So yep! Your dog will join a small pack of loving dogs. Thank you again for your consideration, Nate T. ***I can give injections to your dog. You must supply the medicine and syringes. I have a sharps container and this service is included in my costs.
Reviews
I'm so happy we found Nate! You can really tell he and his wife have a love for dogs. He watched my 2 small dogs and I had no worries at all. He sent several updates a day with pictures and responds really quickly. He even let them sleep in the bed with them:) My dogs came home happy and tired from all the playing! I will be booking with him again for my next trip.
Once again we were very happy with Nate. We know everytime he has our 2 girls that are treated like family and spoiled just like they are when they6at home.
Nate and his wife Lisa have been great with my chihuahuas which is why I’m a regular customer. I get 2-3 updates a day which includes pictures and a summary of what they’re doing. Sometimes he’ll throw in a video, which is a plus when I’m on travel for work and miss my doggies. The dogs that live in his home are smaller breeds (and extremely sweet) so I don’t worry about large dogs being rough or trampling my chihuahuas, plus it’s nice that my dogs have little friends to play with. Both of my dogs take hip/joint chews and Nate has always been good with making sure they take them daily. My dogs have completely different personalities, 1 is friendly and playful, the other is quiet and a bit anti-social, however but they both seem to love their stay at Nates. Also, one of my chihuahuas is nearly toothless, but Nate is sure to only feed him the small kibble and softer treats I provide. Being that I travel frequently, I always worry about Nate’s availability but he’s extremely flexible and I’ve never had a problem when I’ve had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. I’ve said this in a previous review but I have absolutely NO WORRIES when I’m on the road and away from my babies. Nate and Lisa are the best and I’d recommend them to anyone.
Absolutely love this guy and how my girls act towards him. I had to rebook on last minute notice and he didn't hesitate and welcomed them with open arms. We have no worries when we leave and know they are being cared for as if they were at home. This is the place to have your furbabies if you want the best care possible.

My dogs mix well with others. They are very socially adjusted to others. I have water bowls available, a doggie door always open, and provide their clients food as they request.
Home
Information Nate T. would like to know about your pet
As long as your dog is not too aggressive I can generally earn their affection in a few minutes. Please bring their familiar crate, home, ect.
A typical day
Your pup will enjoy my company, outside time to run, and if they have toys - a quick throw. If not, I have a bucket of toys. If your baby is a lap dog - expect them to find a lap and extra cuddles. If they like to wonder around - I have a small fenced yard with a dog door.
