Uncle Nick's House

Pet care experience

**COVID-19 UPDATE: THIS SITTER USUALLY EXCLUSIVELY ACCEPTS REPEAT CLIENTS. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK, THEY WILL BE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR A LIMITED TIME. ADDITIONAL DETAILS BELOW. Hi, I'm Nick! As a decorated dog sitter, I work full-time to offer a cage-free K9 resort conveniently located off of the 210 fwy for your pups to enjoy while you're away on a trip or even just busy at work. Here your pup(s) will receive endless love, attention, entertainment, exercise, and more, all while enjoying the full range of an actual home, not a facility. My experience with dogs goes long and far and I pride myself on thinking like a dog when I need to most. I've had various jobs, many of which have included working hand and paw with K9s. From training to sitting, walking, shelter work, vet assisting, fostering, grooming, boarding/daycare facilities, you name it, I've done it. My last job was with a cooperate dog boarding facility. From this experience, I not only learned a lot more about dogs but also about myself. I took frequent notes on how I would improve the business if I had the chance. Eventually, I was granted an opportunity with Rover, who I have been working with for 5 years since. Rover has allowed me to create the perfect vacation spot for any dog, with any temperament, cage-free. We're able to take the dread out of a family vacation and provide a comfortable "home away from home" for your pup(s) to actually enjoy. I have been blessed with several incredible friendships with pet parents over the years and have welcomed countless furry friends into my pack. Rover has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life thus far. Now that you're caught up, tell me about your dog! **COVID-19 UPDATE: DUE TO THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK, IN-PERSON MEET AND GREETS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. HOWEVER, A PET PARENT MAY REQUEST A VIRTUAL MEETING VIA SKYPE, ZOOM, OR FACETIME PRIOR TO BOOKING THEIR FIRST STAY. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU ARE LIVING WITH HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19, THIS SITTER WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCEPT YOUR DOG AT THIS TIME. WHEN THIS SITTER WELCOMES A DOG IN OR SEES A DOG OUT, THEY WILL WEAR A MASK AND GLOVES AND WILL ADHERE TO EACH OF THE CDC’S HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT OWNERS FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES AS WELL. THIS SITTER ALSO AGREES TO MAINTAIN A SIX FEET DISTANCE, PRACTICE MINIMUM INTERACTION, AND IMPLEMENT “CURBSIDE PICK UP,” WHERE THE OWNER WOULD UNLOCK THEIR CAR DOORS AND STAY SEATED IN THEIR VEHICLE, WHILE THE SITTER WILL OPEN THE BACK DOOR AND PLACE THE DOG(S) AND THEIR BELONGINGS INTO THE BACKSEAT OF THE VEHICLE. SHOULD ANY OTHER PRECAUTIONS BE NECESSARY, PLEASE CONTACT THE SITTER.

Nicholas always takes great care of my little rat terrier. He makes sure she is all tuckered out by the time I pick her up. I know she loves it over there, because she gets so excited when we turn the corner to go to his place! Nicholas is also super flexible with last-minute bookings. He has been a life saver for me and my dog many times!

What can I say about Nick? Well, he is the best dog sitter out there. I've given a review about him before, but I am a loyal and regular customer, so I figured I would explain why. The combination of compassion, energy, and professionalism he brings to taking care of my dog brings me complete peace of mind when I have to go out of town and leave my precious dog behind. I consider him and his family to be my dog's extended family. He knows tons about dogs and loves them deeply. A+ to Nick.
