Safety, trust & environment

While I don't currently have a pet myself, my experience as a personal trainer and future Physical Therapist has taught me the importance of care, attention, and empathy. Just as I prioritize the well-being of my clients, I bring that same level of dedication to caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each dog receives personalized care, tailored to their unique needs, much like I do with my human clients.

Information Nathan I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything special I should know to make ensure your pet feels comfortable and happy while in my care?

A typical day

As a personal trainer and someone who loves staying active, I enjoy incorporating plenty of exercise into my time with pets, whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or engaging in agility exercises. When I was younger, I also loved teaching my dog new tricks and training them on proper restroom habits, so I’m excited to bring that experience to the pets I watch!

Pet care experience

Though it's been some time, I gained hands-on experience caring for my grandmother’s Golden Retriever when I was younger (ages 6-12). I handled everything from feeding and playtime to washing and general care. This early experience taught me responsibility and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. My background in caregiving and fitness also adds to my ability to provide attentive, active care, ensuring every dog feels loved and well-cared-for.

I remember a time when Nathan was taking care of my dog, Bella, while I was out of town. Bella is usually very anxious around new people, but Nathan took the time to sit with her, play her favorite games, and even learned her routine to make her feel more comfortable. One evening, Bella had a bit of an upset stomach, and Nathan didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile. He stayed up with her all night, made sure she was comfortable, and even cooked a bland meal to help her feel better. The next morning, he sent me a detailed update with pictures, reassuring me that she was okay and that he had everything under control. Nathan's kindness, patience, and dedication during that time showed me just how much he cares about the pets he looks after. It’s those little things he does that truly make him stand out as a reliable caregiver.

Hello! Nathan I, will be a good fit for a pet sitter. Nathan is a wonderful, caring, loving person to be around. I know pet's will get the same feeling as well. Thanks, Cecelia I.
