Pet care experience

Cozy retreat for any pet

Between family and roommates, I've had a pet in my home my whole life. Now that I live alone, I am looking to fill that gap by helping others with their pets. Growing up, we had a minimum of 2 dogs and 1 cat in our home at all times. When I was really little, we had Dalmatians and in my high school days we had labs mixes and German Shepards. There was even a period when we fostered puppies for a local animal shelter. After I moved out, my roommates always had dogs. I loved watching their dogs for them when they went away traveling. I have also helped friends out by pet sitting their dogs. One couple even had 4 dogs at once including 2 older ones who needed lots of attention. I work fully remote so I will be available to take care of your pet all day and provide plenty of love.

We left Steve with Nathaniel for 3 nights and it was great! We received photos and reassurance during the trip that he had made himself comfortable. We will definitely hire Nathaniel again for overnight boarding.

Nathaniel did a great job, and was very good at understanding our dogs quirks. We would definitely use him again!

Did a great job watching our senior cat while we were away at Disney World and did a phenomenal job. Excellent communication and star treatment for our older kitty. Super reliable and highly recommended!

Nathaniel' s help allowed us to go on a an impromptu vacation! Nathaniel took great care of our dog and sent daily updates with pics, which was great. We were able to enjoy ourselves and came home to a happy dog. Thanks, Nathan!

Nathanial continues to be an amazing sitter for Artemis. He was very accommodating when I had a last minute family emergency I needed to fly home for. Artemis is also always very excited to see him when dropping her off

Schedule

I am used to having a pet around so not having one now feels off. I work fully remote so needing to take care of a pet during the day is no problem!

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone so any pet I sit will be doing as much for me as I am doing for them. Any pet that visits will get lots of love and attention.

A typical day

Long walks if they like them. Also I have no problem sharing the couch or bed and providing lots of cuddles. I’m always down for a game of fetch or tug.
