Every dog has a unique personality

Pet care experience

Ive taken care of shelter dogs for over a year, and currently work at a small vet clinic feeding, bathing, walking, and running doggy day care. Im also in the process of going back to school for canine behaviorist (dog training) to help further my understanding of dogs and dog behavior.

If you're looking for a dependable pet sitter that communicates with you about positive experiences with your pet as well as concerns, Nick is great. We have an elderly dog, and Nick was great with handling the issues related with elderly dogs.

Nicholas was great with our dog Sadie. She is not leash trained and he was very patient. He is very knowledgeable of dogs and very professional!

I have known Nicholas for over a year and have had the pleasure of working with him in a veterinary hospital setting. Nicholas is well-liked and respected by both staff and clients. He has a natural way with animals that makes them feel calm and comfortable. He is hard working and dependable. I would recommend him for a position at Rover.

Nick worked as a canine kennel technician in one of the hardest jobs I know, taking care of the abandoned and the abused dogs of Shelby Humane. Despite being a laborious and stressful job, I never saw Nick lose his love for the animals and he was one of the best employees I had the honor of supervising. Nick was often the first to arrive and the last to leave just so he could be sure that all the needs of the dogs had been met. Nick definitely does not let the clock decide when his work is done - he knows the work is done when the dogs are walked, fed, clean, and well loved. Reliable is also an understatement, as you could expect him to show up through snow or hail. His communication is always consistent and honest. Nick also fosters shy and misunderstood dogs, so he is patient and well-versed in free-free methods and positive reinforcement. You could not ask for a better human being to care for your animals while you are away, I highly recommend.
