Pet care experience

Hi all! I’m Nathan, a San Diego native that grew up in an animal-loving household. We have cared for all kinds animals for as long as I can remember, and there hasn’t been a moment in my life where we did not have a furry, scaly or feathery companion in our home. Fast-forward to now: My partner and I live locally in Chula Vista where we care for our 3 amazing cats together (Hammie, Tuna and Anny). In my free time I enjoy listening to live music, running and golfing. As a local runner I know all the amazing trails and safe routes to take your pet on an a journey we will both thoroughly enjoy.

We are so sad this will be our last booking due to moving out of the area, Nathaniel is truly the best. He takes extra care of our cats by looking around the house for their favorite toys and making them special pillow forts to zoom around. The cats will miss you!

Nathaniel is always the best at looking after my senior cat. She really loves him and is happy to have him come around.
