Pet care experience

Experienced, energetic, caretaker!

I come from a family with a deep passion for animals and have been surrounded by cats and dogs since I was a child. My sister works as a zookeeper at the Portland Zoo, and my mother runs a cat rescue sanctuary from the home I grew up in. I currently share my home with three wonderful cats, including two seniors and a playful kitten. Alongside them is my loyal companion, Oly, an eight year old Boston Terrier. My love for dogs knows no bounds. Oly and I take daily walks, covering at least five miles, regardless of the weather. Meeting and caring for animals brings me immense joy. I'm here to offer dog walking services seven days a week and ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention while you're away. I can't wait to meet both you and your beloved pets!

As always Nicolas did a wonderful job taking care of Oscar. I always know when I have to be out of town that my fur boy is in the best hands. Thank you Nicolas.

Nicolas is the absolute best. Oscar is so happy when he visits and we love the photos plus his stories are the best. He always goes above and beyond, this time he even came Christmas Day. We were very blessed to have found him on River and 100% recommend Nicolas to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Nicholas was absolutely the best! I had complete confidence in his care for my Cali and enjoyed his daily visit summaries. I would not hesitate to engage Nicholas again. He was here at a consistent time each day, which I appreciated very much. Thanks so much for taking care of Cali!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for. Are there any particular behaviors I should be aware of? Friendly with other animals and people? Let me know how I can be the best sitter/walker for your companion! SPECIAL NOTE - If your dog has a history of biting, extreme aggressivity, or injuring other sitters, I unfortunately will not be able to work with them.
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.
