Pet care experience

Keeping Tails Wagging & Paws Moving

I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also helped watch and walk many of the neighborhood dogs, which gave me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s puppies full of energy or senior dogs who need a little extra patience, I know how to adjust to each dog’s needs. I also have a passion for staying active — I love running and walking — so I can make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that’s a long jog or a leisurely stroll. More than anything, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. Since I won’t be hosting pets in my own home, I focus on providing reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they feel most secure. I’m attentive on every walk, always keeping an eye on surroundings, using secure leashes, and making sure your pet stays safe near traffic, other dogs, and new environments. I also follow your specific routines and instructions carefully — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or special needs — so your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times.

Nate is our dog’s favorite human ❤️ She can be a bit spicy in her middle age with other dogs and he is so good at managing that boundary with other dog owners. So grateful we found Nate and that our sweet girl has a new best friend too!

Nate is truly the best dog walker ever! He absolutely loves animals, is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and caring. Every dog deserves Nate! Dogs adore him, and everyone wants Nate walking their furry friends.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if your dog has any special needs. Whether that’s something as simple as giving them extra water or treats during walks or something more serious such as behavior toward other animals/humans. Nothing is to small nor too big!
