Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, Reliable, and Ready to Care
I have always enjoyed being around animals and understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and caring environment while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. As someone with a background in kinesiology and an active lifestyle, I enjoy taking dogs on walks, engaging them in play, and helping them stay active. I take pride in being dependable and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's following feeding schedules, providing companionship, administering basic care, or keeping owners updated with photos and messages, I am committed to making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. My focus is on creating a positive experience through consistency, attention to detail, and genuine care.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nathaniel provided an excellent environment for my 1 year old and 6 year old pups. The backyard was clean and well suited for the two of them to play. Nathaniel was meticulous in gathering information on the dogs' care before I left. The dogs appeared happy and well cared for when I returned. I will definitely ask Nathaniel to care for them again the next time I am out of town.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I am organized, dependable, and understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, including exercise, bathroom breaks, and providing companionship. Whether it's daily walks or extended pet sitting, I am committed to giving each pet the attention and care they deserve.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and house rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. During walks and visits, I stay alert to potential hazards and always use secure leashes and harnesses. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free while maintaining the routine they are used to. Pet owners can trust that I will treat their pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy while their owners are away. Depending on each pet's personality and energy level, I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or other interactive games. For more relaxed pets, I'm happy to spend time giving them attention, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I also enjoy reinforcing basic commands with treats and positive reinforcement when appropriate. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they're having a fun vacation while in my care.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any medications or health concerns. It's also helpful to know their personality, how they interact with people and other animals, any fears or triggers they may have, and any commands or training they're familiar with. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience that keeps your pet feeling at home.
