Safety, trust & environment

I’ll be the first to say that I pay great attention to how others interact with my pets and how they would treat my home. I want to extend that attention to your pets and your own home. I have experience of tending to round the clock needs, and am very conscientious of treating your home with respect and avoiding any incidents. For example I have a strong habit of making sure no critters scurry past any doors they cannot pass through.

Information Nick S. would like to know about your pet

Please fill out the care information for your pets! :) They’re super helpful in making sure sitters have quick access to info. Additionally, please mention/include if your pets have any communicable diseases for the safety of all other pets (sitters’ & parents’). Thank you!

A typical day

In addition to making sure their needs are attended to, I love to just hang out with them. If they’re in the mood play I always make sure there’s time. If not, I’m present with them, talking to them a bit so they don’t feel lonely.

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats my whole life and get along with many. I’m able to read their body language and care for their needs. I have experience bottle feeding my two kittens, Peach and Mango. I understand what it’s like to miss them, so I’d like to help others know that their pets are at ease.

As someone who is very picky about who I leave my cats with: Nick did an amazing job watching our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. He was very responsive and proactive in working with us (e.g., picking up the keys, messaging us to double check if certain treats were okay, etc.) He was very attentive to our cats as well and they absolutely loved him (even our timid one!); if the cats were up for it Nick would play with them the whole time he was there (+ treats!), our cats loved it. He also checked their water, kibbles, and litter box with each visit. Nick is a cat person and understands their body language very well, I felt a massive peace of mind with Nick being the one checking in on them. It was a great experience for my husband and I, we would 1000% book with Nick again. He's also just a lovely person as well. Thank you so much, Nick!!!

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.
