Highlights
Pet care experience
Qualified animal lover of all pets
I have been an animal lover my entire life and I am hoping to work with animals as a full time job in the future. I am currently in university studying Veterinary Physiotherapy and I recently completed my level 3 Animal Management qualification at college. Due to my university schedule, I am only available during the holidays (Christmas, Easter and summer). I have previous work experience at the RSPCA looking after a range of dog breeds, including larger breeds like Huskies and Cane Corsos as well as small breeds like Chihuahuas and Terriers. During this experience, I have helped to walk dogs, clean out kennels, feed and play with dogs. I have also gained experience working with cats, rabbits, birds and other small animals at the RSPCA. I currently have a dog, who is a springer spaniel x poodle called Doodle, and a cat, called Pancake. I spend much of my free time taking Doodle on walks and playing and cuddling with her and Pancake whenever they want to. I have also on many occasions looked after pets of friends and family, including labradors, spaniels, jack russells, beagles, cats and rabbits.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety of your pets will always be my number one priority and I will ensure that I keep an eye on them so that they are safe and happy. I will listen to, follow and respect any rules or boundaries that you have when looking after your pets to keep both you and your pets happy and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Nathan looked after our two senior terriers for a few days and gave us total peace of mind thanks to his calm and mature presence during the meet-and-greet and proactive updates during his stay. Very friendly and responsive and left the house spotless; we can definitely recommend him as a house and pet sitter.
Brilliant sitter - thanks so much. Came home to perfectly clean and tidy house, two happy dogs. Meet-and-greet was great, comms throughout perfect.
Left Nathan with our pets for four days. All the animals seemed very happy on our return, Echo was very sad to see him go. Kept the house nice and clean and tidy, would definitely recommend him.
Nathan is great, he watched my pup and house sat for 4 days. He took her for walks and sent me updates with pictures daily. My pup seemed very happy when I got home. I would definitely rebook with him again!
Nathan looked after our cat Mabel for us when we went on holiday. He is very reliable and diligent and Mabel was very well cared for. I would really recommend Nathan as he is very responsible and caring and clearly loves animals.
Nathan walks his family dog on a daily basis. He clearly cares deeply about animals and treats them with patience and kindness. Nathan has hands-on experience caring for his own dog and cat and previously for guinea pigs, giving him a great understanding of different animals’ needs. His work experience at both the RSPCA and Church Farm, along with his BTEC in Animal Management, shows he has been consistently reliable, has excellent timekeeping and shows a strong commitment to animal welfare. We highly recommend him as a pet sitter and dog walker.
