Don’t be fooled by the price

Hi! I’m Nick. I’m a certified dog trainer with more than 10 years of professional dog walking experience, and I own Concrete to Creek, a dog hiking company based in New York City. I’m excited to start meeting more dogs through Rover. While I’m building my profile, I’m offering walks at an introductory rate. If you and your pup have a great experience, I’d truly appreciate a review. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed neighborhood stroll or needs a more structured walk, they’ll get safe, attentive care and come home happy.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety comes first on every walk. I use well-fitted equipment, stay aware of our surroundings, and adjust each walk to your dog’s comfort, confidence, and energy level. I carry water on warm days, avoid unsafe conditions, and never put dogs into situations they’re not ready for. My goal is for every walk to be calm, safe, and enjoyable from start to finish.

Schedule

I offer walks throughout the week and keep my schedule organized so every dog gets my full attention. I plan my day in advance, communicate if anything changes, and always arrive within the scheduled time window. Reliability is important to me, and I know how much it matters when you’re trusting someone with your dog.

The more I know about your dog, the better experience I can provide. Before our first walk, I’d like to know about: • Energy level and exercise routine • Leash manners and any reactivity toward dogs, people, bikes, or traffic • Medical conditions, medications, or allergies • Favorite treats, toys, and motivators • Commands they know and anything you’re currently working on • Anything that helps them feel comfortable or anything you’d like me to avoid Every dog is different, and I adjust my approach to match their personality and needs.
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.
