Safety, trust & environment

I want to advocate for dogs because it's our public doodoo. It's meaningful for me to help protect our pets as this gives me a sense of pride and joy.

Information Nathan D. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any health issues, dietary restrictions or behavior triggers? Since giving loving care and attention is what really matters, what's the best way to spoil your dog? Let me know if there are any specific accommodations for your dog so I can prioritize.

A typical day

I love giving my dogs the space to be active and explore. Take fun hikes and meeting interesting new friends. Also, observe and (chase) Canada geese flying in formation across the skies above one of our favorites, Central Park!

Happy Dog, Happy Life 😎🐶

Pet care experience

I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, being outdoors and in nature. In fact, that's why dogs have 4 legs-so they can experience more of the benefits of walking! My goal is to care for your dog as if my own child and to provide a SAFE time for play, so you have peace of mind. Also, I'm currently learning a lot about dog care & behavior from YouTube University 😄 It's rewarding to be responsible for taking care of someone's loved one-even for a nice short walk. Being around dogs is therapy and makes me feel like a playful kid all over again 💩 I'm always down to set up a meet & greet so we can chat about hobbies, food and more doggy details.

Nathan is a great walker. Since the meet and greet, Phoebe(my dog) and him got along together very well. Nathan was very understanding of phoebe being scared of the city noises during her walks and he even helped taking her out the building which we appreciate very much. He communicates very well, follows instructions to the dot and is very playfull with phoebe. If I didn’t have a permanent walker, I would’ve totally kept him. I recommend Nathan 💯

Nathan is great with Mylo. From the first encounter, Mylo took a liking to Nathan. Nathan was on time and extremely communicative. I will definitely use his services again.

Nathan is an absolutely wonderful dog walker. He has been taking care of my dog, Burt, with so much kindness, patience, and reliability. Burt lights up every time Nathan arrives, which tells me everything I need to know about the bond they’ve built. Nathan makes sure Burt gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care on every walk, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. I couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy and thoughtful person to look after Burt.
