Energetic & Responsible Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hey everyone! I’ve wanted a dog for as long as I can remember, but my dad is allergic to pollen, shrimp, and, tragically, pet dander. Thankfully he only passed 2/3 allergies to me, and I’ve been walking and caring for dogs in my neighborhood for most of my life. Aside from looking after local pups, and the classic sea monkeys and ant farms of childhood, I did have a goldfish that I won at the Arlington county fair. Morgan attended both undergrad and grad school with me and thrived for EIGHT years. That alone should speak to my pet-care abilities. I’m naturally good with dogs and kids, though you can only book me to care for one of those in this app! I always enjoy getting to know new dogs, and I know I’ll love meeting yours as well! Please just let me know if your dog has any triggers that upset them, or if there is anything else you think I should know!

Nick was so great! Good communication and check-ins to keep us updated for our puppy Kobe during our wedding weekend. He also helped us coordinate with Furever & Fur Always who brought Kobe to our wedding for some photos. Highly recommend him!

Nick is sweet, courteous, trustworthy and dependable! Responds quickly and follows any and all care instructions for pet. I feel totally comfortable with him in my apartment when I am not home. My pup LOVES him and is always excited to see him! I have and plan to continue to use Nick for my rover needs!

First time using rover and Nicholas was amazing! He responded quickly and answered all my questions. He even offered to meet in person before the day of services. I actually really appreciated that. Took away a lot of my first time dog dad nerves

Nicholas was amazing! I was away for work for the first time again so lots of anxiety leaving Bodi, but Nicholas made it an ease! I have no worries about future travel now :) I’ll look to book Nicholas each time.

For the time being I won’t be able to care for your dog at my place, but seeing as we want them to be as comfortable as possible while you’re away, it might be best that they stay at home! I’m happy to spend the night if you’d prefer, otherwise I don’t mind dropping in a few times a day to check on your pup! We can burn off some energy on walks, runs, playing fetch at the park, or running around the local dog park, or we can just snuggle and watch tv on the couch - whatever your dog is used to and would prefer! PLEASE NOTE: In the times of COVID-19, and with the uncertainty that accompanies it, I have been taking extra precautions to ensure the health and safety of myself and my loved ones - wearing a mask, sanitizing and washing hands frequently, etc. I will take the same care in your home, and can take any extra precautions you would like as well. Please just let me know!
