Ratings and reviews
Was great with both Huck & Millie. Met us beforehand to make sure he knew each of their personalities and needs. Will be using Nathan again!
Nathan was great with Beanie for day-care and took good care of him!
Nathan has been great with my puppy Uma, so attentive a real calm presence to my dog. He’s been super helpful and my dog felt calm and safe after returning from their walks together. Thank you!
Nathan was responsive and looked after my parents dog really well! Including a very senior dog, many thanks to Nathan!
So glad Nathan was able to fit us in his schedule at short notice! He was punctual, really friendly, and got on with our greyhound from their first walk. I was assured that Beanie was in safe hands.
Thank you so much for looking after Lola last minute. Nathan and his daughter looked after my beagle Lola, they were very patient with her, were quick to reply to messages and when I came to pick her up everything was ready to go. Lovely guys, thank you. Would recommend x

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that it is a welcoming space where they can feel at ease and relaxed. This may involve setting up designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play, tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I maintain a clean and tidy environment, free of hazards, to promote their well-being. In a pet owner's home, I aim to provide a seamless transition for the pet by adhering to their established routines and preferences as closely as possible. This includes maintaining consistent feeding schedules, following specific training protocols, and providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. Regardless of the location, I prioritize regular communication with the pet owner to provide updates on their pet's well-being and any notable observations. I am also attentive to any special instructions or requirements provided by the owner, such as dietary restrictions, medication administration, or specific behavioral cues.
