Pet care experience
Experienced, Loving & Reliable Care
I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog/cat owner, so caring for pets is already a huge part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, sizes, routines, and the occasional bit of doggy chaos! I understand that every pet has their own quirks and that good care is about much more than food and walks. I’m attentive to routines, behavior, comfort, and the little details owners know make their pets feel at home. Whether your dog wants an adventure, a good game in the yard, or someone to curl up next to, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of updates so you can relax while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety is always the priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, boundaries, and any special instructions before taking over their care. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and interactions with other animals. I also know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s hands. I’ll communicate clearly, follow your instructions, respect your space, and keep you updated with photos and check-ins along the way. I’m used to a lively, pet-centered home and understand the importance of creating an environment where animals can feel safe and comfortable. I believe in plenty of affection and enrichment without forcing interaction—some pets want to be your shadow, while others need a little time and space to warm up. My goal is to keep your pet’s experience as familiar, relaxed, and enjoyable as possible while you’re away, with lots of individual attention tailored to what makes them happiest.
Ratings and reviews
Nathan watched my babies when I was called away for emergency. I have a 100 lb dog and a 10 lb cat and he treated them like his own. Knowing my babies were in good hands with Nathan put my mind at easy. I will always call on Nathan when my babies needs babysitting
Nathan was an excellent pet sitter for our cat, Tyrion, while we were out of town. He was reliable, caring, and made sure Tyrion was well taken care of while we were away. He took care of him as if he was his own and gave us a peace of mind. Nathan was also great about keeping us updated, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would definitely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Nathan is great with animals. I always knew that my cats would be well taken care of including giving them their meds. He followed my instructions and communicated well with me while I was away. I even got pics which I really loved! I felt confident and comfortable when Nathan was taking care of them.

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my normal daily routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications or other routine needs. I know consistency can make a huge difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their people are away.
