Pet care experience

Young professional who loves pets!

Since I was 13, I had the joy of caring for Sparky, a Yorkie mix my grandfather rescued. I made sure she lived her best life until her final days, taking her on walks, vet visits, giving her medication, and ensuring she was fed every day. Sparky even joined us on camping and road trips! After she passed, my brother adopted Trooper, a Boxer mix, and I had the privilege of being his full-time dog sitter for 1.5 years while we lived together after college. I still care for Trooper from time to time, as well as my friend’s chihuahua mix, Peri. I’ve helped with Peri’s training and have experience managing his specific dietary needs.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly, free of hazards, and comfortable for their specific needs. I closely follow any instructions provided by the owner, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and always keep a watchful eye on their behavior to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I maintain open communication, giving you peace of mind through regular updates. I take special care to create a calm and positive environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Nicholas was great with my 5 month old kitten Rocket! Rocket was a shy at first but Nicholas helped him come out of his shell and soon enough he was bouncing around! Would recommend!!

Nicholas was so friendly and took such amazing care of our two senior kitties. He was responsive, gave them plenty of play time, and took care of their needs. I highly recommend Nicholas for any of your pet care needs!

Nicholas was amazing!! My pup was our wedding flower girl and we needed her nice and tired so she’s on her best behavior… and Nicholas completely understood the assignment! He walked her for an hour, plenty of play, and great communication. I highly recommend!

Nick is the best pet sitter! He has watched my beloved cat, Tutu, many times due to my travel schedule with work. Tutu is always happy to see Nick when he comes over to do a quick run of Tutu's needs for the week. Whenever I come home, Tutu's water glass (because she refuses to drink from a bowl like a normal cat) is always full, her food bowl is filled, and her litter box is cleaned. Nick also watched my mom's pets in addition to Tutu while we went on a long trip. He was in charge of her high-maintenance dog, her two cats, and my cat and feeding the outside animals. Nick would often send videos of my mom's dog while they were jogging or throwing the ball for him and, of course, of the cats. He is always kind, courteous, and very loving towards my cat and my mom's pets. I 100% trust him with their care, and I wouldn't trust just anyone. My cat is my baby and deserves only the best care. Thank you, Nick!

Schedule

I work full-time remotely with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention it needs. I occasionally travel for work and leisure, hence why I need to keep my bookings one week out and cancellations three days out.

Before caring for any pet, I like to know: 1. Are there any medications, allergies, or special conditions I should be aware of? 2. How does your pet interact with new people, other animals, or in unfamiliar environments? 3. What’s their specific diet and feeding routine, and do they have any dietary restrictions? 4. How much activity does your pet typically need, and are there any physical limitations or preferred types of exercise? 5. Are there any quirks or behaviors I should watch out for, like anxiety, aggression, or training commands they respond to?
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.
