Cat Fanatic w/13 Years Experience

Hi there! I've been a fulltime petcare provider for the past 13 years. I started this adventure after managing a pet store for a year. I enjoyed spending my days with cats and dogs in-store, so I thought this would be a fun, rewarding way to make a living. I grew up in rural Ohio so I've spent my entire life around a variety of animals. I currently have 2 cats named Oreo and Dasher. Both are rescues. I have worked for high profile clients in DC which required vetting from secret service, volunteered for a dog rescue, and hosted several dog and cat rescue groups while still working in retail. I regularly administer pills, insulin, use nebulizers and have even changed cat diapers. I'm super detail-oriented and like to leave a client's home as clean as I found it and am happy to bring in your mail/packages. I have a bit of a green thumb, so if you need your plants watered while you're away, I'm your guy.

We are so lucky to have Nathan looking after our sweet fur baby every time we go on vacation! He is consistent, warm, and always takes time to play and cuddle with our cat. :)

Nathan is AMAZING!!! I have had other cats and when I went away I would leave them with a family member. I no longer have that option & was told about Rover. I have two new cats & have never left them for longer than 4 hours. I was hesitant about leaving them with someone I didn't know, but I read Nathan's profile & knew he would be the right fit fir my babies Smokey & Sheba! I met with him & had him meet the babies & I felt confident he was the right person for my babies! He sent updates after every visit, and I told him If he announced himself when he came to visit & left, Smokey would start coming out during the visit & Smokey came out! Both of my babies are medium to short haired cats & they shed; Nathan took it upon himself to vacuum. I also let Nathan know I would be coming home late at night & forgot to ask him to turn on the porch light & to my surprise when I got home, the porch light was on! I also want to thank all who left positive reviews for Nathan, it really helped me make my decision to choose Nathan! Thanks again Nathan for the AWESOME care you provided my babies Smokey & Sheba!!

This is my one and only job so I'm able to provide top notch care without distraction. That also means I have a lot of flexibility.

I love detailed instructions so please don't hesitate to create a google doc or write a lengthy note. If your cat has special needs, I'm more than happy to take them on!
