Availability

I am a stay at home father. Most of my daily tasks can be adjusted to fit the needs of my clients and I can be quite flexible. My fiance has a hybrid work schedule. Most days there is always someone in the home, there will be times however where pets staying in the house will need to be crated or gated for upto 2 hours while I do walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard in the woods away from major roads. I take dogs in and out on leashes a fence is in the works but it will be some time. I have 3 dogs who play well with others. I can gate off different sections of the house if dogs need to be separated or if they need a break. Dogs kept here will be in a home with other dogs, resting on the couch, playing and so on, not kept in kennels. I am bonded and insured through Pet Sitter's Associates to provide extra assurance and safety above and beyond the Rover Guarantee.

Information Nicholas S. would like to know about your pet

Temperament is key. Any dog that I board or spends time with my dogs will need to get along with my dogs. I have the space to separate them if they do not get along well, however I would prefer not to. As far as walking goes, as long as the dog likes me and I know of any leash reaction issues, I could just leave mine at home while walking.

A typical day

Daily routine usually starts with a walk. I live on a nicely shaded side street that has a nice loop of just under half a mile. Next is breakfast. After breakfast tends to be a rest period where the pups spend some couch time. The pups usually start playing again after an hour or 2 they go in and out as needed. In the afternoon there is play time. Sometimes we go to the dog park which is 8 minutes away from my house. We usually do an afternoon dog walk. Dinner and then go from there.

Always Reliable Never Ruff!

Pet care experience

I've been fortunate enough to have dogs in my life since I was a kid. Over the past 7 years in particular, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of canines: shy, bold, sweet, temperamental, clever, energetic, healthy, in need of special care - you name it! I appreciate how every dog is a little different, and am ready to tailor your dogs' walks to their individual needs. Puppies, elders, and all ages in between - I'll make sure they're safe, well-exercised, and happy while in my care. Comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, with your ideals in mind. I can't wait to meet your dogs and take them out on the town! When walking dogs I am caring yet firm. I walk at a comfortable pace while making sure any pups that I am walking are happy, healthy and cleaned up after.

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.
