Nathan was amazing with watching Jasper! I went on an extended trip and Nathan was above and beyond with updates, answering any questions, and Jasper loved staying with them!! Thank you for taking such great care of him!

Amazing communication, definitely an animal lover, and a pro at caring for dogs! Nathan sends photos of my dog everyday and they seem very comfortable with each other! Highly highly recommend!

Nathan one of the best sitters I’ve had from Rover! He picked up and dropped off my dog to and from my apartment (which made travel logistics much easier) and he kept me updated on how she was doing throughout the weekend. He was extremely thorough and was very attentive to her storm anxiety during a huge thunderstorm. Would recommend Nathan to anyone in the Chicago area looking for a great sitter!

My dog (temporarily) punishes and ignores me after staying with Nathan. That just means he is immersed in love when he is with Nathan. That is a temporary hardship I will gladly, happily and willingly endure!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer pet sitting here at my condo as long as your pet gets along with my friendly dog. I’ve taken pride in building a safe and inviting environment for all pets by having the necessary resources on hand as well as the collaborative approach I take with each owner. This ensures their pet has a customized experience that is tailored to their specific needs, expands their social development and most of all, feeling welcomed and loved away from home.

I live right next to the river and the Larrabee dog park, so the day will be filled with socializing, pool time, exercising and resting outdoors.
