Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure we set up and introduction with your dog and/or cat so they can get comfortable with me. We never leave the house without a leash!! Your dog will always be leashes when going outside. I won’t let your dogs interact with other dogs (due to chance of injury to your fur baby) if you do want me to have your dogs interact with other dogs let me know and I can do that.

Information Nicholas R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any routines or is frightened of anything or likes to chase squirrels. Anything that sets your dog apart from others!

A typical day

You as a pet parent always have first say of where you would like your dog to walk and I will follow that. But if you don’t care which way we walk or where we walk I will make sure it is interesting and stimulates your dog (so they get tired and you can relax or so they stay quiet while you’re away) if there is any special request just ask (:

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs & cats for 14 years and have done Rover for over two years with many repeat clients. I had to make a new account. Family members have relied on me to watch over their fur babies, take them on walks and give oral medication. I have had my own dog & cat. I’ve have experience with puppies, senior dogs, kittens & senior cats.

Nick did an excellent job as always! We can tell our dog was happy to have him watch, and we know Nick went beyond our asks to keep our dog happy and entertained while we were away. We will absolutely book again!

Nick did a great job, and our dog got along with him great as well! Already booked for a longer trip. Looking forward to seeing him again!

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.
