I like to spend a lot of time with whatever animals I’m taking care of. I love going outdoors and am experienced in keeping my own pets safe with the risks of the mountains. I am also happy to keep them at home or walk them in more controlled environments if they or their owners are more comfortable with that.

Safety, trust & environment

Taking care of someone’s pet is a great responsibility and my absolute priority when dogsitting is keeping them happy and safe. Particularly staying in someone’s home, I will always do my best to make sure everything is taken care of as well as I can.

Information Nicholas H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know first and foremost about what makes your dog unique, any quirks or odd behaviors. Then it is always good to know about their sleep, eating, and exercise habits, and of course any health concerns to be watched for.

A typical day

My wife and I like to cook at home, spend some time reading, and spend some time doing exercise every day. If I’m not busy working or doing one of those, I like to be talking to people.

Pet care experience

I am currently living in Ketchum with my wife. I am working at Lefty’s and she works at Sun Valley. We have both had animals since we were born, and we love them all. I am from Salt Lake City but have lived in San Francisco and Chicago working as an Engineer. My wife is from Chile and has 5 cats at home. We are always happy to meet new animals.

Nicholas has been watching Dexter for a few weeks now, and is wonderful at just letting Dexter lead the day. He's reliable, consistent, and very intuitive with the D man. So grateful to have found him!!

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.
