Information Nate W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences, such as their temperament around other dogs, preferred spots for petting, and their level of comfort interacting with strangers or other pets during walks. I'm very flexible and can adjust my care style accordingly.

A typical day

I'm highly flexible in my pet care style. For high energy dogs, we go on runs or enjoy long walks, visit parks, and engage in playful activities to keep them entertained. For more laid back dogs, we can opt for calmer activities like a stroll in the park. I also can adjust the level of interaction with people and other animals based on your dog's preferences.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, and there has never been a time in my life when there wasn't a dog in my house. I have been walking dogs and providing care for multiple animals since I was 10 years old. As a lifelong animal lover and outdoorsman, I also enjoy learning and interacting with all kinds of animals. I look forward to meeting your furry best friend to take them for a walk!

Nate recently provided our dog, "Drake", with the most excellent care and attention! His knowledge, friendly personality and great communication made us feel reassured that our dog was in great hands! We'll certainly use his services again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
