Highlights
Pet care experience
Good at sitting, staying, & walking
I have utmost respect (and lots of love!) for all animals. I truly view them as real friends and equals. With experience, I have also learned how to set and maintain good (and firm - when necessary) boundaries. Dogs have been trusted members of my family since I was a child. I have cared for senior rescue dogs; I have socialized puppies; I have taught reserved dogs new tricks; and I have taught stubborn dogs to sit and wait. I have admittedly less history with cats, but just as much respect and care for them as any other animal. I do currently have one close cat companion (we used to be roommates, and have been best buds ever since). As with all animals, I find that the respect and love I give to the pets I interact with is reciprocated - and often multiplied! As a person who is both adventurous and empathetic, I am generally very well attuned to the health and wellbeing of those around me, and I really enjoy taking dogs for walks almost as much as they do! I also like to play, and I can handle all kinds of doggy games. Big dogs welcome!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment

Ratings and reviews
He was great. Spent lots of time with our dogs! Very thankful to get him to watch our animals!
Nathan took great care of my precious pup. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about how she was.
Nathan did great walking both our large (75lb+) dogs. Professional and well versed dealing with the dogs. Provided great feedback from the walks and pictures.
Nathan was awesome . He took very good care of Jax . Went above and beyond . Highly recommend . Thanks Nathan
Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.
Nathan B. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
