Safety, trust & environment

I always know to take my shoes off in homes, and to lower to the animals level and let them sniff, and you can't be too fast with the first approach. You are a stranger entering their home, respect and politeness is key to understanding animals.

Information Nicholas A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any accommodations i need to make, if there is something that the animal prefers or enjoys. If there is any medications or things that are important or necessary to the animals health.

A typical day

I really enjoy letting dogs do what they want. A good walk consists of plenty of sights and smells along with plenty of walking around. Dogs require enrichment from play and walks.

Pet care experience

I have always had animals in the home growing up. Cats, birds, goats, dogs, reptiles. I learned how to care for various animals of size and shape, read body language and cues. Young animals to seniors, sometimes they just need a little help and love!

Nicholas has owned several pets over the years and has always been great with dogs and cats. He is a very happy and energetic guy, who appreciates that dogs need that. He understands dog temperament and behavior as well.

Nicholas is a very caring human being. He has never seen an animal as "just a pet". He see personalities in them and has always cared about their individual needs. He brings out the best in them, and I think each dog or cat he has encountered in his life has made him a better person. He definitely has empathy. He seems to know what they need. Especially play time! Nick is energetic, responsible and resourceful. He follows rules and always keeps safety in mind. Being part of Rover.com would be a win win far all.

Nicholas A. Is a kind happy young man who loves animals. He is an amazing single dad whom embraces the responsibility of caring for his son. He has a cat and dog and had always showed good care and and responsibility for them. I believe he can pass those same values to there pets as well.
