Pet care experience

Love & care when you can’t be there

I’ve loved and lived with dogs since birth and have experience with every kind of dog from couch potatoes to chaos gremlins. I’m all about earning the ultimate seal of approval: your dog being excited to see me! I’m here to impress your dog just as much as you! I am also Red Cross Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid in case of emergencies!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a responsible, meticulous and dependable pet sitter I prioritize each pet’s well-being, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, playing with energetic kittens, or simply providing companionship to senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As your house sitter my goal is for you to spend your time away with no worries and return to your home just as you left it with no added stress. I am very self sufficient when it comes to accommodations, I provide my own portable sleeping materials if staying for overnight care, no need to prepare a guest bedroom or worry about bedding! All of my bookings are within a very short distance of my home, so I can handle personal daily needs (cooking, bathing, etc) in my own home, no need to worry about towels, tubs, and dishes! I am extremely laid back and do not require anything for my stay, you just enjoy yourself and I’ll handle the rest! I’m also happy to help take care of other things such as bringing in mail/packages, putting out trash, etc.

Caring and responsible, plus my dog Nell is now in love with him. And she has excellent taste in humans.

Nicholas did a terrific job as always. The girls, Pearl (a labradoodle puppy), and Lucy and Layla (calico kittens) adore him and always have a great time while we are away.

Nick does fantastic work! Always helpful with a busy schedule that has us frequently asking him to drop on on very short notice, you can tell he cares about our pups! Thank you Nick

This was my first time using Rover, and my expectations were beyond succeeded with Nick! After meeting Nick I was quickly at ease of trusting him with our fur family and our home while we went away on a family vacation. He is super organized, professional, and communication with him leading up to and while we were gone was great, not to mention I'm pretty sure our pups genuinely missed Nick after we came home! I could not ask for anything more, thank you Nick!!!

Nick took great care of our Willow and we are so thankful that they had a great time while we were away. He’s very thoughtful and made sure all of willows needs were met. I highly recommend booking Nick for your pet sitting needs!!

If providing overnight care, please note that due to other scheduled visits and personal responsibilities I am unable to be in the home 24 hours a day, however I am able to guarantee I can adhere to their designated meal and potty times, and assure that they will never under any circumstance be home alone for a period longer than 4-6 hours as stated in my profile.
