Highlights
Pet care experience
Your canine’s new best friend.
I grew up in Australia with our family dog, Sassy, a Black Retriever Cocker Spaniel mix from when she was a puppy. We had her for 11 years until she sadly passed. Pets are such an important member of your family and daily life and make a world of a difference with the joy and happiness they can bring. I’ve got plenty of experience with pets of all ages (puppy to senior) and specific backgrounds (rescue) and traits (separation anxiety, vision impairment) as well as having looked after some of my neighbours pets. Having entered my 5th year of living in this area I know the best spots for a quiet walk or if your pet really enjoys socialising. Please see below a list of all the different dog breeds I've cared for based on their sizes.

Ratings and reviews
Nathan was brilliant as always - he kept us updated on Penny throughout the few days and was really facilitate for drop offs and handovers. Penny had a brilliant time meeting different dogs in Nathan’s care over her time with him - Nathan made sure they were all well suited, and it meant that she had an excellent few days socialising and playing with other dogs. Thanks as always, Nathan!
Nathan was fantastic and I’d absolutely recommend him to others. After our meet and greet, I felt very comfortable with him dropping into the flat to feee and walk my dog while I was away. Nathan sent really lovely pictures and videos from each visit, which I appreciated. Overall, he provided a great service and I’d happily use his services again.
Nathan looked after Floki so many times. Our dog didn't want to leave this morning because he had a great time with him. Nathan is very professional, very responsive. Highly recommend!
Nathan is great with Paxo, he’s a dog with a lot of energy and is rather boisterous and Nathan handles him with ease. We always get lots of updates and completely trust he is being well looked after and given lots of exercise
Nathan took excellent care of our greyhound boy Manu overnight. He helped me out really last minute which was so appreciated. He is flexible, communicative and thorough. He very clearly loves dogs and prides himself in taking the best care of them! He sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew Manu settled in quickly and was in excellent hands the entire time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nathan and hopefully Manu can stay again in future :)
Nathan was great! Our dogs had so much fun, communication was excellent.

Schedule
I have capacity for four to five small, medium, large and giant dogs and I would only confirm if all parties involved are happy with this arrangement. Happy to meet for a walk initially to introduce and ease your dog in before confirming!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The flat is neutralised with odours so all the dogs don’t mark their scent inside. Do let me know anything to help make your dogs stay more comfortable (daily schedule including meals, walks and toilet breaks as required). Oral medication and eye drops can be administered and if your dog is in training please do let me know if there are any keywords you are using for commands so I can continue your training plan. Your dog will be on lead when out publicly as their safety is of the utmost importance. Regular updates with photos and videos will be provided to put owners at ease. Happy to answer any further questions that you may have!
A typical day
Taking them for walks to nearby parks and green spaces to meet neighbouring furry friends. I have a collection of balls that I’ll use to play with to keep them stimulated. I also have multiple pet beds suitable for pets of small, medium, large and giant sizes to relax on after playing. I can take them out every four hours if need be. Making their experience an enjoyable one is a priority!
