Nathan is professional, kind, personable and compassionate, and basically the best pet sitter ever. I appreciate that he took the time to get to know our cats and their likes and dislikes (ie. favorite hiding spots and habits). Our cats love Nathan and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter. read more

Nathan is one of the best dog walkers out there! Our dog Hagrid loved him and always looked forward to his visits! We're so sad we moved outside of his service area, but any pet would be lucky to have him a part of their lives! read more

Nathan was awesome. Super professional and our cat loved him. He came over to meet our cat before the appointment. And he asked about the cats likes, dislikes, and hiding spots. He would feed and play with her, and then send us updates on how she was doing after each visit. Key pick-up and drop-off was super easy. Highly recommend Nathan to look over your pet if you are going out of town. I would definitely use his services again. This is much better than boarding because your pet is at home. read more

Nathan's Pet Sitting - One of the many update photos Nathan sent to us. - Dog Walkers Near Me

TLDR: Nathan did a great job with my cats, and I'm so glad I chose him over boarding the kitties at a vet. ---- I went out of town for a few days last week, and I hired Nathan to feed my cats while I was gone. When he first visited my apartment, Larry and Rosie took to him very quickly, which gave me some piece of mind. While I was gone, Nathan sent very nice pictures of them, and I really appreciated that they got such good play time! When I got back, there was no stress of having to drive again in a carrier, and I could tell they were much happier to have been at home than they were last time I traveled, when I boarded them at a vet. I will definitely take this route again in the future. Bonus points for Nathan because the logistics (handing off and picking up keys) were also very smooth, even though I had a somewhat tight travel schedule. He is also insured and bonded, so you know you have a real professional looking out for your pets! read more

Nathan's Pet Sitting - Playful curiosity while I was away - Dog Walkers Near Me

Nathan watched my pets for two weekends, and he did a fantastic job! Both of my kitties were born and adopted during the pandemic, so they're pretty anxious around other people. Nathan did a great job respecting their boundaries and prioritized their comfort. He was super attentive in learning their habits, hiding spots, and needs. One of them had broken into a snack cabinet that I didn't baby lock prior, and he hid all those snacks in the fridge to ensure the same incident wouldn't happen again! He sends updates and photos everyday, and it was heartwarming to see my shy cats open up to him by the end. Highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a pet sitter! read more

We hired Nathan to watch our kitty while out of town for nine days. After learning about him on Yelp, I contacted him via email and filled out a detailed new client form which included emergency and vet contact information. I really appreciated that he was forward thinking enough to ask for all of this. We then set up a time to meet and he got to see our sweet baby, who warmed up to him instantly. He'd usually visit our cat around the same time, sending us lots of pictures and updates every day. He was very professional, and meticulous about following through with my (myriad) instructions. It's clear that he loves animals, and our cat seemed to enjoy spending time with him. I'd like to thank Nathan for taking good care of our baby. read more

So happy to have found Nathan's Pet Sitting services on Yelp! I was very anxious about leaving our kitty Pebbles and Nathan made the entire process so easy and really helped me feel at ease to go on an over due family vacation. As others mentioned, Nathan is very professional and communicative! Prices are reasonable! I really appreciated the daily texts and updates. Our kitty can be stand-offish but she liked Nathan from the start which was a great sign they would hit it off. Totally will use Nathan's pet sitting services again and we can see why he's gotten 5 star reviews. Well deserved! Also Nathan has an IG that is enjoyable to read and it is apparent he loves what he does and is so good at it! Thanks again Nathan you are awesome! read more

I felt at ease leaving my cat Olive in Nathan's care. It is clear that he loves animals and treats them very well. Olive is quite a scaredy cat around new people, but she warmed up to him quickly. The entire process of booking, key pickup/dropoff, payments, etc was smooth and easy. Rates are affordable. Very grateful to have found a trustworthy and truly caring cat sitter. I look forward to working with him again! THANK YOU! read more

I used Nathan's pet sitting services for the first time last month, and I highly recommend him! I'm normally very anxious when it comes to going out of town and leaving my two cats, but right from the beginning, it was a very smooth process that made me feel comfortable leaving them in his care. He was easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our schedule. He came over in advance to meet the cats, learn about them, and get the keys. After each visit, I would get text updates on how they were doing, as well as photos. One of my cats is very needy, and he made sure to spend some time holding her to comfort her. Nathan is an obvious animal lover and was very professional as well as personable. I would use his services again! read more

Nathan watched our two cats for a few days pretty last minute. He was very conscientious and sent updates every day. He even managed to get a very cute video of one of our cats. Will use him again! read more

We recently most to San Jose and reached out to Nathan just over a week before a trip away to see if he could kittysit for us. He was so helpful and accommodating, coming by in advance to pick up keys, meet out cat and collect all of the info he needed while we were away. He was totally professional and sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which was really nice for peace of mind. We really had such a wonderful and positive experience and will be reaching out to Nathan for all of our future kitty sitting needs. Highly recommend reaching out to him for your pet needs! read more

Nathan is amazing! My cat is very standoffish and hides from new people, but Nathan was able to coax her out from under the couch and eventually had her coming to greet him. Nathan always sent me pictures and updates regarding my cat and I felt like she was in the best hands. He has great attention to detail and is so trustworthy. I've already booked him for our next trip. read more

Nathan is the best! He's professional, returns emails and texts promptly. He's an obvious animal lover, my two cats love his visits. And he's reliable, he's never missed a visit and gives us much advanced notice if he's going out of town. He's great for long trips when we want our kitties to be cared for and cuddled or great for quick weekend getaways when we want to escape the city. And as a super fun bonus, he sends lots of daily pictures of their adventures together. Thanks Nathan, the kitties and we love you! read more

Nathan's Pet Sitting - Rusty loving the cuddles Nathan gives - Dog Walkers Near Me

Nathan has been walking and watching our dogs, Dexter and Kaya, for almost a year now. He does daily walks for us and has done overnights. Our dogs absolutely love him. He's incredibly responsive, offers reasonable prices, and genuinely cares about animals (and his Instagram chronicles of the pets he watches are comedic gold). We would 100% recommend Nathan to anyone who wants a pet sitter or dog walker. read more

We absolutely love Nathan! We've had many people cat sit for us over the years including friends and professionals and we've never been so completely comfortable leaving our cat with someone. He spends lots of time with our cat at every visit and sends us picture updates, and our cat loves him! Plus we feel completely comfortable leaving Nathan our key when we're out of town, which is also obviously very important! Five stars, highly recommend. read more

Nathan has been watching over my cat for years now when I go out of town. He's great! My cat likes him, which is most important. While I'm away it's always reassuring to get some photos each afternoon and see that my cat is doing well and enjoying Nathan's company. The price is good, although I have only had a couple other people watch my cat before, so I don't have a great point of reference when it comes to rates. Still I think Nathan's rates are plenty reasonable. After having a couple questionable experiences with previous pet sitters, I'm very happy with Nathan and I don't intend to look for other pet sitters as long as he is available. read more

I used Nathan for the second time and was equally as impressed as the first time. He took extra time to make sure my fur baby was well taken care of. read more

Nathan is an awesome petsitter! He has watched our cat several times over the past year. He has taken the time to get to know our cat, and it shows. Our cat is friendly and affectionate with him, and he isn't always like that with a new person! Nathan is communicative and easy to work with, and he provides updates (with photos) on how our cat is doing while we are away. I can't recommend his petsitting services highly enough! read more

Four years on, Nathan is still the best! He takes such great care of our two kitties. Most recently we've taken one of the most important but stressful trips of our lives - visiting family after a 2+ year hiatus with COVID tests, lost luggage, and wildfires. He sent daily update pics that really brightened each and every day. What's most impressive is that he has an amazing sense of our cats' personalities and our connections to them -- the updates were thorough and thoughtful, with a dose of humor that assured us that they were in good hands. We can't recommend him highly enough. read more

This review is long overdue. Nathan took care of my mom's lab, Misty, several months ago. He came twice a day, brought in the mail and newspaper, and gave Misty her medication. Working with Misty is not easy as she is 13 years old and very protective of my Mom. She took really quickly to Nathan which was amazing since she is so protective. Due to our concerns that Misty has never been with anyone who didn't know her from puppy-hood, Nathan sent us photos and videos showing his great care with Misty. I wish we could give him more than five stars, he is truly amazing and is gifted with animals. read more

I would recommend Nathan to anyone who's looking for a pet sitter. He's reliable, easy to get a hold of, and his prices are very reasonable. We always have him look after our cat when we're out of town. Before his first visit to our place, he met me so that I could introduce him to my cat and show him where to get the mail, take out trash, the litter box, etc. Now he keeps a spare key to our place. We just let him know that we're heading out of town and he takes care of the rest! It's great to have someone you can trust that much and don't have to give instructions to before every visit. He will even send you a pic of your pet each time he visits just so you know everything went well with his visit. We are very thankful to have Nathan as our go-to cat sitter! read more

I was nervous about leaving my cats for two weeks but Nathan put my mind at ease. I appreciate the updates each visit. Thank you!

Nathan is a great pet sitter, the cats were happy and fed when I came home and the house looked just as clean as I left it. Good to have a pet lover looking after your fur babies! read more

My partner and I have both turned to Nathan to take care of our cats when we were out of town. And it has always been a great experience! Nathan is consistent and reliable (which is the most important thing for a petsitter), very friendly and loving with pets (including with cats who are shy or stubborn), and also friendly and accommodating when it comes to scheduling time, even on very short notice. And when he send photos or videos of the cats during his visits - nothing is better than that to put your mind at ease that your furry friend is doing ok in your absence. Long story short, Nathan is simply a great petsitter! read more

We found Nathan through Lil' Chick Pet sitting before he had his own business. When we first met him, our cat had an immediate connection with him. He met with us first before we agreed for him to be our sitter. Just like an interview. That gave us time to see how Nathan and our cat would interact. Nathan is on time and very reliable. He responds to texts and emails in a timely fashion. He will make sure he goes to your home to see your pet at a reasonable hour and send you an update. I like how he sends us videos and photos of our little guy while we are away. Those updates are so helpful since our cat is our child. I highly recommend Nathan as a pet sitter. Our cat is happy while we are away, which is very important. :) read more

It is hard to trust anyone to come to your house and take care of your pets, but I so glad I took that leap of faith with Nathan. I started using him when he was part of a previous pet sitting service, and have/will continue to rely on him now that he has his own venture. Before using a pet sitter I left my cats at a boarding house/cat hotel, but would come back to them sick or just very sad. Switching to a pet sitter who comes to the house and allows the cats to experience minimal stress is such a relief. Nathan is very trustworthy and conscientious. He takes the time to get to know you, your house, your routines and of course your pets! He responds quickly with requests, and follows up before the trip to ensure that he still has all of the correct details. One other thing I really like is that he sends me short notes and photos of the kitties while I am away to give that extra assurance that they are safe and secure. Thanks for your great service Nathan! read more

It's been four years since our last post, and Nathan has continued to be our pet sitter since. He's been great with our two cats, even when one of our cats had medical issues and needed special TLC while we were away for over a week. Highly recommend him! read more

Nathan is great! My husband and I recently moved up to the SJ area and were in need of someone to watch our dog (who can be reactive on walks) and two cats. Nathan was super responsive in our email conversation and we were able to set up a meeting to introduce the pets and go over the routine prior to heading out of town. While we were gone, Nathan sent us regular updates and pictures. We returned to a happy home of pets, and will be definitely working with Nathan again. I definitely recommend him if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! read more

Nathan is the best! Super trustworthy and kind to my dog at all times. Excellent communication skills. He's the perfect pet sitter.

Nathan is a wizard when it comes to animals! He came highly recommended by friends and we are so happy to have found him! He takes such good care of our little (big) buddy and we don't know how we didn't find him sooner! He sends texts and photo updates after every walk and our pup loves him so much! Makes such a difference knowing Nathan checks in on him and spoils him while we're at work! read more

Hello fellow pet owners! Like everyone else here, we are so happy that Nathan provides his awesome service. He's watched over our cats a number of times and we feel so much better knowing that our pets are well taken care of. Admittedly, my feeding arrangement is high maintenance, but Nathan is more than happy to make sure that any pet is well taken care of while their owners are away. He makes sure to send a few pictures and videos for us too so we can get our pet fix, which is greatly appreciated. One of our cats is timid, especially around new men. It took less than a day to let Nathan pet her, which is a huge deal for us. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter who your pet will love, stop here and contact Nathan now! read more

As a fellow pet sitter, I have extremely high expectations and Nathan met and exceeded them! My kitties were well taken care of, showed no signs of stress upon our return, our home was treated respectfully, and I appreciated the daily updates! Looking forward to working with Nathan again and will not hesitate to recommend him! read more

Nathan is great! He keeps me posted daily and even sends a video of my cat. He completely understands what I expect and does not try to do more than I need. I have a monster cat who does not like anyone. When I explained that to Nathan he understood and did not try to push my cat to be friends. He made this a perfect relationship and they work together perfectly. He ignores her and she ignores him! I have been using Nathan for over a year and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a pet sitter who is the best. Thank you Nathan from me and the monster!, read more

Very responsive! Love that he leaves us notes about our cat, Rocky, when we get home. Not only does he take care of him, but he also gets the mail, takes the trash out, and let's us know if there are any issues with the house. I appreciate his above and beyond offerings, which gives me peace of mind when I travel. read more

I would like to be in the position to review Nathan's business as we are looking for someone to watch out dog when we vacation. I can not do that at this time because he has not responded to my communications as of yet. Business must be good! read more

Absolutely outstanding !!! Once or twice a week my wife and I trust Nathen to take our dog out for exercise and walks. From the first meeting where he was highly focused on getting to know our dog (she can be cranky with men sometimes) we knew he had this 100% under control. Always trustworthy and helpful in short notice sometimes. We highly recommend Nathan! PS... Nathan has helped check check on and take care of the cat when we're out of town for a few days. read more

Nathan has been walking our two dogs for a few months now, and we've been super happy with his services. Both of them are biggish, and one is a little nuts, and he handles her wonderfully. He's fantastic with them, always sends us updates, is really flexible on time and days, and is even great for last minute requests. He's extremely trustworthy and consistent with his schedule so we never worry the girls are being tended to. Such a relief to have found him! read more

Nathan is a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter! I had him watch my 2 very skittish cats multiple times over the past few years. I was really concerned about one of my cats who is really nervous, but Nathan was great and had such a calming presence. I don't think she ever came out from under the bed when he was there, but she wasn't traumatized when I came home! (Which is saying A LOT!) I especially like that he sends picture updates. Especially on the first day of a long trip, when I'm feeling especially guilty about leaving them, it's nice to know they are doing well! I would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone with any type of pet and any type of personality! He's a pleasure to work with and always very responsive and a clear communicator, definitely a must for anyone watching your fur children!! read more

Nathan has been dog sitting our dog, Brutus, since he was a puppy! Nathan is very patient and knows how to get a dogs attention. Brutus is very skittish and takes time to get to know people, but when he sees Nathan, he is very excited. Nathan is very accommodating and is willing to change his schedule to meet our needs. He tells us in advance the days he is traveling. Nathan sends not just pictures of Brutus but also short videos of him playing while we are gone. Very happy with his services and he will be our dog sitter for life. Thank you Nathan!! read more

Nate is so great! He is always prompt in responding to communications and always sends us videos or photos of our babies everyday he comes to visit them. we always look forward to them when we're out of town. on one visit he noticed the cats had accidentally turned on the oven and didn't hesitate to tell us and suggest we get a protective cover for it. He really does care and we greatly appreciate that. our cats are basically our children and they are very important to us and it gives us great peace of mind to know that someone like Nate is watching over them while we are gone. Thanks Nate! read more
