Information Nathan H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is anxious or aggressive around new dogs while on walks. Dogs must be housetrained and kid friendly. What is your dogs feeding schedule? Any medications? What is your dogs usual routine? Anything special I should know?

A typical day

I will take the dogs on daily walks in my neighborhood and possibly the local forest preserves. I prefer to use a long lead (which I have) with a harness (please bring a harness, but if the dog is around 30 pounds, one of my old harnesses will probably fit). If the dog likes fetch (and drops the ball), we will play fetch with them. Most of the time our dogs like to chill on the couch.

Beagle Lover with Fenced in Yard

Pet care experience

We've had dogs our whole lives. We love taking them for walks in the neighborhood and at local forest preserves. We have been a beagle family our adult lives. We are currently in between dogs as Reggie and Penny both passed away in 2025 due to cancer.

Grea6 host, was very flexible with drop-off and pickup, took her for walks daily, and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be using again in the future if possible

Nathan is a great host. He and his family love dogs, have adopted a number of dogs in the past giving them a good home, are great about taking walks, and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. He has watched my dog a number of times and my dog always is happy to see him and his family. He is very quick to respond to questions/concerns.
