Information Nick O. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs. I would want to know what commands they know and how to give them, what treats they love, when to feed them and what to feed them, where they sleep, etc their habits and routines basically.

A typical day

We would like all the information on your dog's daily routine, so that we can replicate it as closely as possible! Our number 1 goal is to make your dog feel at ease during your absence.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Nick! My wife Katie and I have owned dogs all of our lives. We ran a full-time dog sitting business while I was earning my Master's several years ago, where we consistently got 5 star reviews from our clients! I am currently working full time as is my wife (who is a teacher), so any stays during the school year your dog would be alone from 8-3p during the day. We do get most holiday breaks off so feel free to inquire. We have great availability during the summer months (teacher 😁). We have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. We would love to have the opportunity to give your pet the best care in the comfort of their home or in ours! We are willing to work with any special requests you may have, and are happy to accommodate whatever your dog's needs may be. Hope to meet your furry friend (or friends) soon!

I love having Nick and his family watch my two dogs. They always seem to come back from their stay happy and exhausted. His kids also seem to get along well with both my dogs. Its nice to know that when I do have to leave my dogs when I go on a trip that they are in a loving and caring home. I highly recommend Nick if your ever in need of a dog sitter.

Lucy always loves going to Nick and Katie’s house!! They are always very responsive and if we have a choice we would choose them to take care of Lucy while we are away 😊

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.
