Please provide any specific issues or behaviors the dog has that might make providing service more challenging. I have experience with very needy animals and also highly responsive/ aggressive behavior.

Bluegrass Musician Dogwalker

Pet care experience

I am a musician and writer with a life-long affinity towards dogs. My wife and I recently had two small/medium dogs that we cherished as members of our family. Since their passing, I am enjoying the time I can spend with your pets! I work from home when not traveling as a touring bluegrass musician, which brings me around the world. While I am home in Chapel Hill I have full flexibility to attend your pets needs. I enjoy walking the miles of forest trails behind our home and love to bring dogs along. I prefer walking each separately so they can follow their natural stride. Our previous dogs required daily medications, so I am experienced with administering that and other special needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

My dog, Lyla, had a great time with Nate! He was prompt with communication both before and during Lyla’s visit. He sent frequent photos and updates of my pup’s adventures. Also, he kept me informed about how she was settling in and adjusting during her stay. I hope Nate is available the next time I need a dog sitter; I know that Lyla would be happy to return!

Nathan and Becky took excellent care of our dog! This was Shadow's first stay with them and he was very comfortable there, which is saying a lot for our little guy. We feel very lucky to have found some great new sitters, and look forward to future stays.
