Information Nicholas L. would like to know about your pet

What makes your dog comfortable when meeting new people? How should I interact with your pup to keep him/her safe and happy? What shouldn’t I do around your pup?

A typical day

I love it when I can give a dog the chance to play, sniff, and hunt. Whether that happens in the back yard or on a walk depends on the dog, the neighborhood, and the human’s instructions. I’m also happy to play tug, fetch, or any game that’s appropriate for the dog.

Last-minute, one-time, or recurring

Pet care experience

Going out of town last minute and need somebody to watch your pet? Have a reactive dog who requires a special feeding and potty protocol? Can’t get your pet to the groomer or veterinarian for one reason or another? I’m your guy. My name is Nick, and I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. When I was a kid, my mom had a pet-sitting business. She used to take me along when she fed, walked, or let pets out to potty. Then I grew up to be an animal lover and have had dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs and sometimes volunteer with a local shelter that specializes in caring for them. Now I’m providing pet care for people and animals in need. Whether you’re looking for one-time help or recurring service, I’m here.

Nicholas was wonderful with our four dogs. He played games with them, exercised them, and cuddled with them on the sofa in the evenings. We received updates and pictures while we were away. We would definitely ask Nicholas to sit our dogs in the future and highly recommend his services to others.

Nick is wonderful. He not only takes great care of the animals, he works on training. He stayed here at the house for 2 weeks and the animals loved him. He also watered the plants and kept the house tidy. I highly recommend him to anyone who loves their fur buddies.

We hired Nick twice in one week to watch over our dog after a surgery and he was amazing! This guy loves dogs and they love him.

We trusted Nick to watch our fur-baby the same day he had his doggy ACL repair surgery. He was so caring and gentle with our dog and it couldn’t have gone better. He’s just an amazing human with a special connection to dogs. You will not be disappointed with Nick.

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.
