Information Nicholas C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to take account for. I have had many dogs growing up including those who have special needs and/or are reactive, so I am flexible

A typical day

I go on walks around my neighborhood regularly as well as frequent trips to small local parks, and hikes all around (including upstate). Being remote also allows me to have a lot of quality time with all the dogs that I watch

Dog Lover & Outdoor Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and my first move after getting my own place was to adopt my own dog, Phoenix. Despite Phoenix’s passing, I have still stayed very active in the dog community with both fostering and dogsitting. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and needs and am very eager to help with yours!

Nicholas took great care of Bentley for us when we went out of town for 5 nights. His communication the entire time was great and handled everything with ease. We will definitely be using him again when we travel.

Nick was amazing with taking care of my dog. He gave amazing updates and made sure she was well taken care of. She was nicely exercised with him. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
