I moved to Somerville in September of 2021 and then I moved to Malden in August of 2025. I'm a teacher and soccer coach, working full time between the end of August and the end of June, but I would like to help folks out with their doggos between school years! Ideally, I would prefer to walk and play with my clients' dogs on weekdays, any time between 9 am and 9 pm, however, I can be flexible regarding earlier in the mornings and later in the evenings. I can only do drop-in visits, walks, and doggy daycare.

Please let me know about any special needs your dog may have as well as their likes and dislikes. Furthermore, it is important for me to be aware of any triggers that may affect their behavior. I'm willing to work with all dog breeds.

I love taking dogs for long walks and exploring new places with them. I'm willing to play all sorts of dog games! For less energetic dogs, I'm down to just chill with them and provide good pets.

I love dogs and they love me back!

Pet care experience

For nearly every year of my childhood, I interacted with and cared for a dog in my household. Throughout college and the early stages of my teaching career, I took care of my family's dogs periodically. Additionally, my wife and I fostered a dog through the SPCA for two months in 2021. I have worked for Rover before and I have had wonderful experiences!

I couldn’t be happier with Nathan as our puppy sitter! He took such wonderful care of our puppy and gave him so much attention and patience. It was clear that he genuinely cared about him. Nathan was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout his sessions, which gave me complete peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone to trust with my puppy and would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and wonderful pet sitter or dog walker.

Nathan is so great with Coconut! She’s a nervous dog, but she is so comfortable with his calm demeanor.
