A walker who loves pets!

Pet care experience

I love pets and travelling to different parts of the city to spend time with them. Lately I have taken care of a lot of my friend's dogs and so I decided to join Rover. I am a runner and biker so I can also hike with your dog. Most of the time I bike everywhere, but I am also a master of the NYC subway system. I am 6 foot 5 inches tall so I can care for all sizes of pets. We had two labs and two cats growing up, so I am used to having pets around all the time. I live alone in my own apartment so I am happy to do house visits, stay at your place and care for your pet, or board at my place! I live on UWS one block from Central Park, Perfect for pets to walk, bark, run and play ball.

Michael has been amazing with our dog. He took really great care of her, playing with her and bringing her to the dog park or around Central Park often. He communicated with us daily with photos and little anecdotes and really genuinely enjoyed staying with Zucca. We’ll call him again for sure!

Michael was amazing! He provided timely updates with photos and our pup had a great time. Will definitely be going back to him in the future.

Information Michael N. would like to know about your pet

Tell me what your special friend likes and I will make sure to make it happen. Example: my sister’s dog loves to be scratched on his belly!! I love pets of all breeds, shapes and sizes. Most pets take to me quickly, as I am approachable and warm, with a positive energy and welcoming smile.

A typical day

The Upper West Side has plenty of space for long walks, running, ball playing, etc. I work for an orchestra so I am constantly listening to beautiful classical music, which seems to sooth pets when they visit. There are also plenty of pet friendly patios to visit with dogs.
