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.

Nathaniel was amazing with my dog, Flex! I would 10/10 recommend him and will likely book again in the future. I have a dog with separation anxiety that usually doesn't eat when I’m gone. But with Nathaniel working from home it gave my dog the comfort and support he needed to feel safe, and he ate every single day while I was away on vacation! Nathaniel gave me updates and was always quick to respond to a text.

Nate was great with my senior dog. He kept me updated and sent pictures. His house was perfect and near of where I needed to be. My dog is a spoiled baby and can be challenging even at 16 years old but Nate dealt with her like a champ!

This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!

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.
