Highlights
Pet care experience
Community care for critters
I have been petsitting since I was a kid, for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with a range of house hold pets, but mostly with dogs and cats. I grew up with pets and currently have one spoiled cat. I help support my family's 7 cats and 6 dogs when I am able to and asked to. I make sure your fur baby is as cared for as my own, and I offer consistent updates about your pet's care and well-being since I understand the stress of being gone from your loved one!

Ratings and reviews
Nathan (Shady) is amazing with Kaya. She is so excited when he comes. Shady is quick with responding and provides fun photos and videos of their time. I will continue to use Shady as Kaya's walker and he is highly recommended!
Nathan is one of the most dedicated pet people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They’ve raised the most amazing 6 year old kitten, and Morticia has had the best life and care possible. They keep her litter box pristine, she eats on the most regular schedule, and she gets all the playtime they can give her. They’ve also helped me care for my parents’ 4 small-medium dogs, 6 cats, and 1 large dog, including walks, litter box cleaning, meds distributions and some pretty structured routines to make sure they all get good attention. Over the visits, they’ve done some beautiful work to earn the respect and sense of safety of each one of them, some of who don’t get along with most non-family. I cannot recommend them in more glowing terms as someone who will care for and cherish your pet.
Nathan is the most responsible and caring person I know. They are an excellent pet owner, caring for their own cat and other animals with love, competence and organization. They’re really the type to go the extra mile to take good care of your family member, and will keep you updated to put your mind at ease while you travel . Super reliable and communicative and an all around good person.

Schedule
I work on many creative pursuits from home while volunteering my time outside the house. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate complex pet care throughout the day. So I am looking to offer pet care in my free time for my communities!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize Morticia's health and well being every day. She gets 3 measured meals of wet food a day, her litter box gets cleaned out daily, she gets her teeth brushed, her fur brushed, and lots of play time and snuggles. You can rest assured that I would treat any critter with the same love, affection, and attention that I do for Morticia. I have enough experience with dogs and cats to understand their body language, and do my best to avoid upsetting them. I am told I would be great with horses because of my calming presence and words with animals.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet has their own play style, so fun activities would be tailored to the pet, its interests, and what is accessible in the area. For example, a high energy dog might get dedicated time playing fetch or a hike/long walk, while a senior dog might enjoy a low energy sunny day in the park. If cats are feeling playful while I am watching, then playing with their favorite toy until they are bored.

- It would be helpful for me to know as much information about your pet's personality and behaviors, even the quirky ones, ahead of time, especially their likes and dislikes.
