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! My goal is to treat your pets as if they are my own, if you are on vacation or away, they should get a little bit of vacation treatment from me too! 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! **PLEASE READ** I work in office Mon-Thurs from ~8-4! I’m more than available both before and after work, but if your babies need to be checked in on or walked more often than that during the early weekdays, I am unfortunately not the sitter for their needs. I have full availability on weekends and 90% of Fridays!

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 :)

Nathan took excellent care of my cat! He was super communicative and easy to work with, and I could tell from the pictures he sent that my cat was on cloud nine with him. Wouldn't hesitate to book Nathan again.

Second time Nathan dog sat for us! He’s great. He walks the dogs so much and clearly spends a good amount of time with them.

Best dog sitter we’ve ever hired from rover. Nathan really loved our dogs as if they were his own. Gave them lots of snuggles and exercised them SO much! I highly recommend him & will book him from now on.
