Availability

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.

Information Nathan W. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

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!

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

Nathan did a great job with our rescue dog who can be stubborn to walk. He was patient with her and I would trust him to care for our dog again without hesitation. Thank you!
