Highlights
Pet care experience
Giant dog wrestling fan
I've taken care of dogs between 10 lbs to 150 lbs. I currently have a cat. I'm very capable of matching a animals energy level and personality. I'm not afraid of aggressive or energetic animals. It is important to know the pets aggression level and what they are and aren't ok with. I'm fully willing and happy to take care of an aggressive big dog or a furious cat, but only if I'm properly informed beforehand. If you need someone last minute, I'm a very good option.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very flexible and will follow your preference for caring for your pet. For example, I personally don't crate my dog, but if that's how you want your dog cared for, I will do that. I am confident in most forms of care, meaning pills, shots, baths, nail clipping, incontinence, etc etc. If you have an aggressive pet, we'll need to arrange how best to handle their reactions to necessary care they don't like.
Ratings and reviews
Nick was so great with our dogs and we really appreciated the help.
Nicholas has been very reliable, and Zelda (our cat) always seems content and well-cared for when we come home to her
Dogs (one with major allergies) were happy and well taken care of. Nick went above and beyond and it’s nice to have someone we can trust with our dogs.
Terrific! Doja immediately loved Nicholas and he was responsive, professional and friendly.
Nicholas is great with our Ellie! He is very attentive to her needs and flexible to ours. We are happy to have found a reliable and friendly walker through Rover.

Schedule
I work full time but I work from home as an astronomer at Cornell. I'm flexible and can spend all day at a house, as long as there is WiFi. For all day visits or overnight visits I would prefer only 1 or 2 commitments. For example if you needed a week of care, I could spend 1 or 2 nights or full days, but the remaining days of the week I would prefer to visit and then leave. For locations 15 miles or futher we will have to negotiate a mileage price. My current cost is lowest average gas price in Ithaca+$1 * miles traveled / 25mpg
