Nick was so nice. He took great care of Pebbles, arriving early in the morning and in the afternoon for her feeding. She’s pretty low maintenance but we think she was probably lonely and Nick paid her close attention and gave her lots of love when he stopped by, which we appreciated. The updates were great and unobtrusive and we appreciated the photos. We’ll be happy to book him again for our next trip.

Super great communicator. Easy to give instructions and following them. We had to leave last minute so we could only send pictures of animalsand not a normal "meet and greet". He still did amazing. Will 1000% use him again.

Nicholas was so amazing with our dog! He was very attentive to her needs and she loved him and his family. I would definitely book with him again. He's not only a great sitter but keeps us informed all the way so we didn't have a worry.

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.
