Loving Dog Care with 18 Years’ Experience

I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, raising four from puppies. I currently have three dogs, including siblings, so I’m experienced with multi-dog households. Daily walks and lots of playtime are part of my routine!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible. When walking dogs, safety is my absolute top priority. I always check that collars or harnesses are secure before we leave, use sturdy leashes, and stay alert to our surroundings. With my own dogs, I even attach an AirTag to their collars in case of emergencies, and I’m happy to offer that extra layer of safety for your dog too if you’d like. Your pet’s security and happiness mean everything to me, and I care for every dog as if they were my own.

We are very happy with Nick's great help. He did an amazing job! Our boys, two cats, were properly looked after, and as a result, we found them very good and healthy-looking. Nick is a very accurate and responsible person, and cats very much like him. We will definitely ask Nick's help again.

Nick did a great job of making sure our 2 little cats were fed and looked after every day, and sent us a snap of them saying hello so we knew they were alright. I would highly recommend Nick as a reliable and professional cat sitter. Thanks so much!

Having Nick look after our dog was a great experience. He was kind, patient, and took good care of our pup. Nick is reliable, always on time, and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which we appreciated. We’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

Nick has walked our dog on multiple occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides. He is extremely reliable, always shows up on time, and takes the time to really get to know each dog’s personality and needs. Our dog absolutely loves their walks with Nick and always comes back happy and tired. It’s clear that Nick is passionate about animals and treats them with so much kindness and patience. We feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in such good hands. We highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!

Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m always home on weekends and work from home 50% of the time during the week. When I’m home, I’m available to care for your pet. I walk my three dogs twice a day and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. If I’m scheduled to work away from home, I unfortunately wouldn’t be available for pet care.

To provide the best possible care, I like to understand each pet’s individual needs before booking. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviours or preferences. Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as how your pet typically responds to new people, other animals, or different environments. It’s also helpful to know their favourite activities, toys, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and settled. For dogs, details about lead behaviour, recall, and temperament on walks are really useful. For cats and other pets, knowing their personality—whether they’re social, shy, or independent—helps me tailor my approach. The more information you can share, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re 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.
