1 on 1 Care From an Independent Guy

Pet care experience

I have been doing Rover for two years. I've had dogs almost my whole life. I helped raise a cairn from 8 weeks old, so I can really handle anything. I am a big time terrier lover, but really have fun with all breeds. I will only do one booking at a time, so your pup will get tons of attention with me. I don't mind brushing, giving a bath if they need it, and letting dogs go on the couch and sleep in bed if they like to.

Nic was amazing with my dog, Eva! He was very communicative throughout the entire time I was away, sending pics and letting me know Eva was having an amazing time. As soon as you know Nic, you immediately realize that he simply loves being with dogs! I’ll definitely contact Nic again for future needs

Since I hadn’t vacation in 3 years due to the pandemic, I was now looking to board my dog for a week. Luckily, a friend suggested that I look into Rover.com … & especially lucky that I found Nic!!! He treated Takoda as if he were his own & kept me informed during the week with updates and photos! Nic was awesome & I really appreciated his wonderful care of my ‘baby!!’

Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to walk them and put a lot of effort into getting them outside to do their business. Most dogs get used to me quickly, settling down within minutes of being dropped off, and relaxing. I appreciate minding their hesitancy and helping them get comfortable. So far nearly all breeds I have watched have taken to me quickly and are returned very happy and restful. My #1 priority is that your dog is kept safe. Upon dropping off, please inform me on any of their boundaries. While I enjoy making a pup super happy, their safety must come first.

Information Nic D. would like to know about your pet

I definitely need to know their bathroom schedule, sleep schedule, and complete feeding information. I prefer to set up a meet and greet to get to know your dog, but occasionally a full description of their behavior is satisfactory for me. It's a bonus if you can tell me any tricks they know, how they like to play, and how they handle interacting with new people/dogs.

A typical day

I love to play disc golf and take a dog with me up at Veterans Memorial Park. The long walks through the trails have made every single dog that I have watched very happy :D

I still see my family dogs in Easton sometimes, so they can meet if you approve. They're old now and completely harmless and friendly. My girlfriend loves dogs and is a nurse, so sometimes brings some extra attention when she's off work! On weekends they will get loads of outdoors fun and attention. On weekdays I work in my family business 5 minutes from my home and I will keep them with me. My schedule is flexible during the day and I can always take them out and give them some play time. Your dog will be rarely, if at all, left alone.
