Pet care experience

Animal Lovin’ 20 Somethin’

I have owned and taken care of cats and dogs for my entire life! I have assisted in training service dogs from ages 3 months to 1.5 years. I have experience working with puppies/kittens as well as elderly animals and am able to administer medications easily. I have seen it all and still absolutely love what I do! I work as a barista, so my lighter schedule means I am often free throughout the day. I get my schedule a month in advance which makes coordinating drop-in times and house sitting very easy! I'm a huge walker and enjoy having a four legged friend to accompany me. I have experience with all sorts of walkers, from not-so-leash-trained to professionally trained friends, energetic to lethargic, you name it! I live and work in South Philly so prefer house sitting requests in my area, but am open to further areas in the city if the fit seems right!

Safety, trust & environment

I love to snuggle up with animals and give them plenty of love and pets!! I enjoy walking dogs and playing fetch with them too. My family dog can play fetch for hours if nobody stopped her and she knows I am most easily enticed to do so with her :)

Our second time using Nathan to watch our dog and it went great! Nathan is very good about sending regular updates and spending a significant amount of time with the dog.

Nathan put us at ease when we were very nervous to leave our animals for the first time. We relaxed and enjoyed our trip while our animals fell in love with him. Will certainly use him again! Thank you, Nathan.

Nathan was very sweet and patient with our dog Lola. She struggles to want to walk regularly and he seemed to have no problem getting her out the door! He was transparent and provided regular updates. Lola seemed very happy and healthy when we got home. Would definitely reccomend.
