Friendly Cat Sitter & Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I grew up with two Boston Terriers in addition to birds and fish. I have always loved pets and currently have a cat named Fred. Fred is an active little guy who loves to play with his feather toy and watch seagulls. In addition to my personal experience I have worked with Rover for more than 1.5 years with multiple clients including 10 repeat bookings from customers. I am also able to help customers who are new to Rover better understand how the whole booking and service process works. If you are a first time Rover user let me know and I can help you. I am looking forward to taking good care of your pets. I can do weekdays after 5 pm, due to my day job, or anytime on weekends. I can sometimes accommodate afternoon visits, please message me for details. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. :) I take good care of your pet(s) as if they were my own. I grew up with many pets including two dogs so I have learned a lot about how to handle them. I now also have a pet cat, Fred, who loves to play with his feather toy. Generally I find when working with animals it is best to remain calm and speak to animals in a low tone of voice.

Nicholas took great care of my cat and sent super detailed daily updates and pictures. He is a good communicator and pretty experienced in cat care as well. I feel absolutely safe leaving my cat with him when I am away.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pet as if it was my own. I have personal experience owning both dogs and cats. I always strive to comfort the animal in all situations and control my movements and voice to help keep the animal calm. I always ask several key questions to owners about their pet's health, care needs, and emergency situations ahead of the care.

Information Nicholas G. would like to know about your pet

1. Health conditions or issues 2. Pet's habits and personality 3. Location of clean up supplies and concerns if any 4. Emergency contact information for vet and preferred procedure for contact with owner(s)

A typical day

I specialize in going for pet personality oriented dog walks. I have walked with dogs that are high energy and like play or short running sessions during their walk. I have also cared for older dogs who want a more slow paced walk and prefer to sit in the shade frequently.
