Experienced and Flexible Pet Lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nick Rivera and I’ve been taking care of pets for my entire life! I had dogs growing up as a child and I always wanted to work with animals since a young age. When I was 15 I started work at Central Animal Hospital in Scarsdale NY, as a kennel assistant. There I learned a lot about all sorts of animals and there needs, as well as gaining experience in the world of veterinary medicine. I gained a deeper appreciation for animals, and learned lots of new strategies to properly care for every animal.(All animals are different!) I also fell in love with a rescue kitten, who is now my forever kitty named Cinder! Now I’m looking to use my experience and knowledge to help give the best care to your pet!

I am very grateful for Nicholas. I have two dogs, one of which is 170 LBS. They can be a handful and Nicholas is great with them. He even came out and walked them in the rain.

Nicholas is just the best, I’d hire him every day if he was available.

Once I saw Nicholas’ profile, I had a good feeling he’d be a good fit, and my intuition was correct. He’s a gentleman, a great communicator, and has a passion for animals. My Gracie took to him right away, and he really helped out when I needed someone for a specific time. I will be contacting him again.

Nicholas was such a great sitter for our cat, Murphy. He was on time and super attentive every day. He made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Our cat is sick and needed extra attention and care. Nicholas was very good with making sure our cat was eating and he also cleaned up any accidents. Even though Murphy is not the friendliest cat to new people, he warmed up to Nicholas very quickly. I would highly recommend Nicholas for your pet sitting needs!
