Nathan was communicative, flexible, and took great care of my dog! He’s become a regular sitter for us and my dog always comes home happy.

Our Dog Badger had a better vacation staying with Nathan than we did spending 7 days in Cancun. 10/10 recommend him. Was super punctual an flexible when needed.
