Retired and looking up fill my time with furry friend time. I do a lot of studying. Animals are a bit more relaxing than some humans.

Safety, trust & environment

I love my pets and believe each one has a different personality. The fun with animals is finding that relationship balance where we all have a good enough time that the next visit is a pleasant reunion.

Information Nathanael W. would like to know about your pet

Chasing or corralling animals isn't my favorite, so if a fur buddy needs to be leashed or prevented from bolting, it would be good to know. Also, I'm big on playing to personality, not threatening an animal. So it would be helpful to be informed of any triggers, fears or phobias (as well as happy triggers).

A typical day

Depending on pet needs and personalities, I've done walks, hikes, ATV rides, car rides, swimming and canoeing. I like the outdoors, but also like chilling inside too.

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my whole life. Big, small, hyper and lazy. Loved them all. I trained my Doberman in German (years ago), a Boxer in "boundaries" and am trying to get my impossibly stubborn Frenchie to make wise life choices. I love walks and playing fetch, though I'm usually the one fetching for my Frenchie.

Nate is up for the challenge! We had been on the road for 5 hours and needed someone to walk our dog while we went to an appointment. While two others passed on the extended period, Nate signed up to walk him for 2 hours. He was very professional in the fact that even though most would have brought their own dog to this event, he showed up alone and even provided the transportation to the trail. Dalton returned happy and exercised after their four mile walk! Thanks Nate!

Incredible dog sitter, We could not have been more happy! Nate was interested in all of our pets, You could tell he cared about them. We trust Nate to be at our home, he was timely and followed through on everything we asked him to do. Nate went above and beyond, he watched our animals in a storm and the house got cold so Nate brought his own space heater to warm the house. Nate even offered to do more than expected. Nate’s communication is excellent, telling us daily about each pet and We will definitely use Nate again!

Nate is a extremely responsible and respectful person. My animals mean a ton to me, so having someone who is a good communicator and willing to really put in the work like Nate will is comforting. If you’re looking for someone who will provide great care and actually be happy to do the work, absolutely recommend booking with him!

Nathanael is the best pet sitter/caretaker I know. His love for animals is visible, making every animal feel safe, happy, and well-attended. He has been looking after other people's pets for many years. He has experience looking after dogs, cats, and other pets, including farm animals. He is a responsible person and always pays great attention to detail. He is reliable and can always be called to help, apart from being generally accountable. Nathanael loves and understands all kinds of pets so well that the pet in question will always feel affectionately cared for. He can handle any situation very quickly and with minimum effort. His level of professionalism is unrivaled, and his devotion to his job is second to none. If you need someone responsible to care for your pet while you are away, just contact him.
