Pet care experience

Will take your dog to the park!

Dog lover at heart! I have had two dogs of my own and loved taking care of them. I also cared for dogs and other pets in my neighborhood growing up for years and have since continued that. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including senior dogs and dogs over 100 lbs. My fiancée works from home most days and I work from home 3 days of the week we are able to tend to dogs pretty flexibly! She is a dog lover as well and has tons of experience caring for dogs. We have a few parks nearby that we love taking our family and friends' dogs to, to throw a ball around or just let the dog run around. Would love to take care of your dog!

It was my first time using Rover and Nick made this experience so easy for Evee and myself. Nick was great and easy to communicate with. I felt very safe leaving Evee with him. I will definitely book with Nick again.

Nick and his roommates were wonderful to Gunner. Nick provided me with updates throughout the day of Gunner. He was very friendly and let us visit Gunner during his stay, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be contacting Nick to take care of Gunner when in the area again. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a friendly, dog loving dog sitter to contact Nick. Thanks for a very tired and happy pup after a long weekend!

I have had the privilege of growing up with Nick as my older brother. For as long as I can remember he has loved dogs and he has had experience taking care of dogs for over a decade, including watching our neighbor's dog when we were just kids. Nick is incredibly caring and responsible and will do everything in his power to make sure your dog will stay happy, healthy, and loved. There is no one that I would trust more to take care of my dog.

Schedule

I work from home in a very flexible job that allows me to be available almost all the time. I love getting outside for walks and going to the park. Generally, I love being active and have lots of free time to spend with dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fairly spacious apartment that the dog will be free to roam if desired. We don’t have a yard, so any time outside will be walks / trips to parks. Your dog will always be leashed unless they are off leash trained and you are comfortable allowing me to let them off leash at the park. I am comfortable with almost any arrangement that will allow you to feel comfortable allowing your dog to stay in my care!

A typical day

Lincoln Park is less than a half-mile away and I have taken the dogs I've taken care of in the past to just about every day. There is a huge field that is a great area to throw a ball around in.

Mostly I like to know the owner's preferences for how to care for their dog. What time does their dog usually wake up/go to bed, when do they eat meals, how often should they receive treats, what types of games do they like to play/what do they like to do for fun, etc. No breed preferences! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes
