This was my first time using Rover, and Nicholas was a Godsend! He was able to accommodate my last minute request, when a previous booking fell through. He was kind and flexible with my Roscoe! He sent me updates and pictures, which showed the Roscoe was doing well. I will definitely recommend and book with him again!

Nick does a great job, I have an older dog who has specific needs and Nick is always happy to adjust accordingly. Every time my dog stays with him he is great.
