Experienced Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Greetings everyone, my name is Nathan Gauthier, and I am the owner of Nathan's Animal Care. I am a passionate and experienced animal care professional, with a particular focus on pet sitting. From a young age, I have had a deep love and appreciation for animals of all types and sizes. I began pet sitting at the age of 13 and have since gained a wealth of experience through volunteering at various local rescues and vet clinics. In 2016, I was actively involved in assisting at the SPCA and PG Humane Society evacuation centers for animals affected by wildfires. In 2020, I decided to focus my efforts solely on pet sitting, and two years later, I established Nathan's Animal Care. My business has grown rapidly since then, and I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, ferrets, bearded dragons, snakes, turtles, chinchillas and more. I am certified in Dogsafe first aid and possess the necessary skills and experience to administer both oral and certain injected medications such as insulin. My goal is to provide excellent care for your pets, whether on an ongoing basis or as needed. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry friends.
Reviews
Nathan did a great job with my 8 month old puppy! He unfortunately had to put up with some upset tummy issues (poodleX sensitive tummy issues). So he had lots of challenges with this stay, but I felt that Kluski was in good hands and he provided me with updates, photos and videos. House was left tidy and he watered my plants! Dog was happy and well upon my return. He even stayed a little later when my flight home got delayed. I would definitely recommend Nathan and would use him again.
Nathan did a great job of taking care of our 4 cats, house and plants. He sent loads of pics so we could see our fur babies. There was no question all was under control when we were away. First vacation we’ve gone on in some time; we were grateful for the peace of mind.
Both my cats adored him. Plus he watered my plants and cleaned up the floors where there was kitty litter. I'll definitely be using his services again ☺
Nathan was beyond punctual and kept me up to date on his arrival and brought me back a tired and happy puppy after his one hour walk!

Safety, trust & environment
I would discuss with the clients ahead of time to learn if there are any toys, routines and any places they like to spend time in. My full attention goes to caring for the pets as of they are my own. I ask that clients leave notes so that I can refer to them to help me with sticking to the owners schedule and to also have access to any emergency info should I need it.
Information Nathan G. would like to know about your pet
I like to discuss with clients if there are any medications to be taken and the method it is taken, either orally or by injection. I must be aware of any medical conditions, fears, any reactivity to certain stimuli such as noise, food aggressive or reactive and any other information about your pets that will allow me to better take care of them and that they are comfortable with me.
A typical day
Depending on the area of the client's home and the surrounding area, there are various parks and trails I like to take the dogs to play at or walk, such as Moore's Meadow, Ginter's field, Duchess Dog Park and University Hill, I would discuss with the owners if they are comfortable with me taking the dogs to these areas or if they have any trails, dog parks or other nearby areas that they like to frequent that the dogs are familiar with.
