Love running and hiking with dogs!

Pet care experience

I currently live in Astoria, right near the lovely Astoria park by the river. In addition, my house has a small fenced backyard. I also own a car and am able to take care of dogs all over the city! I graduated from the Peabody Institute of Music and between teaching music lessons and freelance composing/gigging am looking to fill my schedule with dog walks. I grew up with multiple dogs and have been occasionally walking dogs or house sitting through rover since college. In high school, I also did a fair amount of dog sitting/walking for neighbors. My goal is now and has always been to make sure your dog is as happy as possible! The dogs I grew up with were VERY high energy, which I always loved - but if your dog is sleepy and prefers to relax on the couch I am more than happy to join and play guitar for them.

Nick was great and we will definitely rebook with him. From the meet and greet and throughout the stay, Nick had great communication and took extra time with our senior dogs. We highly recommend Nick.

I've known Nick for nearly 10 years. He's one of the most responsible, reliable people I've ever met. He's great with people, great with dogs, and I'm sure he'll be a great fit for Rover.

Nick is a great person to be around, especially when it comes to my dog. He helps me out whenever I need it and my dog loves him. He's 82 pounds and enormous, so the pup is definitely a little hard to handle. Nick is one of the most trustworthy and kind people I know. Plus, he loves his cat like his own sister.

My dear Martin, an elderly Scottish terrier, has been in Nick's hands for a few months now, and he absolutely ADORES Nick. He is punctual, respectful, and confidently handles Martin's frequent poops.
