A new fur-riend for your buddy!

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.

Nathaniel was so great, very communicative, and made sure I knew my baby boy was taken care of! It was my first time using Rover and first time being away from my cat after him being his oral meds but Nathaniel did a great job making sure he was properly taking his meds and was doing ok! Will be booking again! :)

Stop your search—Nathaniel is the perfect fit to care for your fur babies! From the moment we connected with him, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and kind. We felt instantly at ease leaving our two cats, Jimmy and Jenny, in his care. This was our very first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about how everything would go, but Nathaniel truly exceeded all our expectations. He arrived on time, followed our instructions carefully, and made sure both cats were well-fed with their usual wet food. He kept their litter box clean and their space tidy, which we really appreciated. What really stood out was how he took the time to actually engage with them—not just feeding and cleaning, but genuinely playing with them and giving them attention. He got them chasing their favorite toys and made sure they had some fun and affection while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable and happy. Nathaniel gave us so much peace of mind, and it was such a relief knowing our cats were not just looked after, but truly cared for. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again—and recommending him to all our fellow pet parents! :)
