Pet care experience

I love dogs and they love me back!

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!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm quite knowledgeable and easy-going around animals, learning their preferences and routines quickly. You can trust me in your home and with your pets, because I am cautious, perceptive, and caring. In the grand scheme of things, I love giving dogs a lot of attention and affection and they will surely enjoy my company!

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.

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!

Schedule

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.
