Pet Loving Graduate Student!
Pet care experience
Hello! I moved to Richmond about 2 years ago after graduating from UVA, and am currently a student in VCU’s Physical Therapy doctoral program. As someone who has grown up with all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, you name it), I know what it takes to care and love for our furry friends. I’ve cared for my dogs and cats since they were puppies/kittens until they were seniors, so I’m familiar with the different quirks that come with pets of all ages. I’ve also had experience caring for animals with all different temperaments and personalities and love them all the same. I currently have two cats (Stoop and Dobby) who are polar opposites; one of them is super outgoing and cuddly while the other is more anxious and slow moving. That being said, I know how to have a fun time with a high energy pup/cat or take it slow and easy with a shy or anxious couch potato. Apart from my own pets, I have been a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter and walker for my neighbors, friends, and family for many years. I have always given the same amount of effort and care into looking after others’ pets as I would my own. I always welcome any special requests or accommodations too.
Reviews
Nathan checked in on our independent cat while we were away for a week and was amazing! Our cat has never seemed so content and relaxed after we’ve returned from a trip. He was very communicative and provided the best pictures and updates after each check in. We will definitely be rebooking with Nathan in the future!
Nathan is always really communicative, kind, and follows directions perfectly. He is very good with our two cats, and even our shy older cat comes out to play with him. We have booked Nathan twice now and will continue to use him as our cat sitter in the future!
Nathan did a great job, highly recommend!
Nathan was awesome and reliable!

Since I have two cats at home who aren’t very fond of newcomers, I can only offer walking and drop-in services. However, I am a quick communicator and will follow any instructions or requests that you may have.

A typical day
During my time in Richmond, I have found many green spaces and parks that I would love to take your dog to. I’ve become very familiar with the area, and have lots of routes and places in mind that can stimulate your pet while also keeping them stress-free.
