Dog Walk & Pet Visit Services

Hi there! My name is Nicholas, and I have been working with dogs since I was very young. I volunteered in a Veterinarian's office for close to 3 years, where I would care for the pets that would come in, and create a safe and comforting space for them. And of course, I have a dog of my own, Lexi! I have had her since she was 3 months old (she is 15 years old now). I am very attentive and understand dog/cat behaviors well. I have worked with many types of animals growing up and from my volunteer experiences. I love animals and I am very patient when it comes to letting a pet become comfortable with me.

I’m so thankful that I’ve found Nicholas. I’ve used his services multiple times and he puts my worries at ease by providing me with updates and photos.

Nicholas is absolutely fantastic! He took amazing care of my dog Zoey while I was away on a family cruise. He kept me updated with clear messages, letting me know how she was doing, that she was eating well, and just relaxing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He even brought in a package for me and left it neatly on the kitchen table—just an extra sign of how considerate and responsible he is. Communication was always clear and friendly throughout, and he clearly cares about the pets he looks after. I’ve used Nicholas before and will definitely reach out again next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Nicholas is an excellent communicator and took great care of my Zoey. His thoughtful attention made my trip completely stress-free, knowing Zoey was cared for just as I would. I highly recommend his services and would happily use them again!

I have known Nicholas for many years and he has taken care of my cat and dog a few times I had to leave town for work. He has always been great to my pets and spoils them! They are always so excited to see him when he comes over to visit.

Some important information I like to know before accepting an appointment is 1 - any special medication your dog needs to take and how you typically administer it, 2 - the temperament of your pet and if it is aggressive or friendly towards people or other dogs, and 3 - any dietary restrictions because I like to reward your pets after walks and house visits with treats!
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.
