I’m currently a grad student in the midst of writing my dissertation. This means I make my own schedule with very few strict time commitments during the week. A normal day for me consists of writing in the morning, a long walk in the afternoon, and reading/editing in the evening. All this to say, I really enjoy having a little buddy 🐶 by my side throughout the day.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nico! I’m a grad student at UCLA’s film school, and I’ve been in L.A. for about 5 years. Aside from caring for personal pets, I’ve been a consistent and reliable dogsitting resource for many friends (here in L.A. and back in Texas). Graduate school allows me plenty of time to care for and attend to all the adorable dogs in my social circle! - I get along with all personalities. So whether your dog is high energy and constantly in the mood to play, or whether your dog likes to be a couch potato and kick back, I can easily match their vibe. - My girlfriend and I fostered a “classic canine” (9 y/o +) so I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping strict routines. FUN FACT: I recently had to bathe and blow dry a dog that was skunked at night. The dog’s owners later said neither the house nor the dog’s coat smelled like skunk. 🤯 - I’m committed to making sure you feel confident in your choice of dog sitter/walker, and I know you’ll be happy with my services. :)

This was my first time using Rover and Nico made sure to make it the most seamless introduction possible. I booked him last minute with my wife in labor and he stepped in and gave the most outstanding care to my Cavapoo and took such great care of him. He provided many updates and followed every request on the instructions. To find such great help in a time of need was amazing. Nico is very personable as well and I look forward to using him as a sitter for Brownie in the future!!

Highly recommend Nico. He left my dog happier and also, unnecessarily my place cleaner, than when I left. A warm smart person and a pleasure to have my home.

Nico was excellent with my little Boston Terrier, Rio. Rio has a lot of separation anxiety, and Nico constantly made sure that he was okay while watching him. Super communicative and your pups will love him. Highly recommended!

Nico was a great pet sitter for our dog. He was prompt and a great communicator. He provided us updates and photos throughout the day. Would definitely use again!

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.
