Pet care experience

I've been raised with wolves. Since infancy I have been around and interacted with a variety of animals. I have had wolves (hybrid and pure bred) large breed dogs, cats, reptiles and an arachnid! I started pet sitting when I was thirteen years old and have continued to do so for extra income ever since. More recently I have realized this to be my passion, the work that really makes me happy! I absolutely love dogs in all their various forms and would even say I feel a special connection with them in particular. In other words, I've yet to meet a dog that didn't like me! I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, birds and others since I started as a kid, as well as a few special needs pets, so they aren't off the table! I have a few great clients of my own already, and I'm looking to expand the fur family! I currently have 2 slots available Mon-Fri for walks. It'll be first come, first serve. Ideally dog friendly dogs, as I bring my dog to work!

Nick was awesome! He is a great communicator and I felt super comfortable knowing that my dog would be walked, fed, and medicated right on schedule. 10/10 - would recommend!

10/10 recommend Nick- especially for house sitting your dog! He was professional at our meet and greet. He was gentle and kind to my dog. Sent me multiple pictures and updates everyday and kept my house super clean. He even washed his blankets when he didn't have to. We were nervous to take a chance at this Rover thing, but thanks to Nick, we know there is someone here who will take wonderful care of our dog should we need to leave again. Thank you Nick for respecting my home but also loving on my dog this weekend!

Nick was a great pet sitter! He is easy to communicate with and frequently provides status updates and images of our pets. He definitely made us feel very safe and secured to have him around our pets.

Information Nick P. would like to know about your pet

I need to know about all animals in the home, any special needs and aggression. I have my own dog, he will go on petsits with me, if he's not welcome then I won't be taking the job

A typical day

Depending on the location of the petsit there are several places I like to take dogs for hikes. If they're well behaved enough, there are also a few off leash places I like to take them as well.
