Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, Trusted Dog Walker
Hi I'm Nathan (Nate). I’ve been surrounded by animals since the day I was born and have spent my entire life living with, training, and caring for dogs. I’ve raised and worked with a variety of breeds, including mixed breeds, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels to name a few. My family has always been active with animals, including family farm working dogs such as sheepdogs and cattle dogs. Through my military service I’ve also spent time around military working dogs, gaining an appreciation for structured training, discipline, and reading canine behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, routine, and reinforcing the training you’ve already put time into. Whether your dog needs calm leadership, high-energy exercise, or patient guidance, I tailor my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. And of course I always enjoy my time around dogs and hope they have fun too!

Safety, trust & environment
As a military veteran and active reservist, reliability, punctuality, and responsibility are core parts of who I am. You can trust that I’ll communicate clearly, show up on time, and treat your dog and home with the same respect I give my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your training standards, and adapt every walk or visit to your dog’s energy, temperament, and requirements. Whether it’s a simple neighborhood walk, a park visit, a trail hike, or even a run, I ensure the environment is safe, controlled, and suitable for your dog. I’m committed to giving you complete peace of mind while providing your dog with a positive, stress-free experience.
Ratings and reviews
Wonderful as usual!
Thank you Nathan for walking Nanook. It seems he also enjoys his walks with you.
What a relief to be able to trust someone so completely to come to our house each day we were on vacation, to take our dogs for a walk! Nathan made sure our dogs were well exercised and safe in our absence and we’re delighted to know we can count on him in future too!
Great job for his first time with two big dogs! They both seemed happy and excited to go with him and came back just as happy! Really appreciated seeing the pictures too.
Nathan walked my puppy twice daily for several weeks. He was consistently punctual and demonstrated a friendly, attentive manner with my puppy throughout this period
Having known Nathan for years I can see how responsible and caring he can be. Nathan grew up in a family with three Labrador retrievers (Oscar, Cody and Bella) so he has first hand experience in handling and caring for dogs. Outside of taking care and training his own dog, Max, I have witnessed Nathan be a great friend to many and an incredible Husband to Parsha. Nathan is responsible, loving, and compassionate towards all the people in his life. As well, Nathan is quite active so taking out your pets for walks or runs will be easy a feat. I truly believe Nathan will be a loving and empathetic pet caregiver and provide the best experience for your pets.

Schedule
Currently I have great flexibility with my availability for pet care! I will be working around my current pup which limits some availability, but otherwise I can do weekdays and weekends. With some notice I am capable of pet or house sitting, usually on weekends only, but I'll do my best to work around week days if necessary.
