Pet care experience

Outdoor enthusiast that thrives off of being active each and every day. Weekly Jogger, Hiker, Longboarder and drummer. Located in Irvine, right next to Irvine Great Park. 2 years, off-booked dog walker in NJ and former Wag! Walker. I spent 2 months fundraising at Ocean County Animal Shelter in my senior year of high school, which started my affection towards assisting our loveable best friends. We raised money to help out my alma mater's high school band program, and connected multiple animals with affectionate families. Availability is always open for discussion, normally between the morning hours, to afternoon/dinnertime. I've been comfortably trained in dog-walking/dog-sitting/house sitting/overnights and drop in visiting. I'm ready to be working for Rover part-time and I couldn't be more excited to meet furry faces in familiar places.

Nick was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the very beginning, he made everything so easy by picking him up, which gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, Nick provided excellent care and treated our pup like his own. We came home to a happy, well-loved, and relaxed dog—which says it all! Communication was smooth, professional, and thoughtful, and we felt reassured the entire time knowing our dog was in such good hands. We can’t recommend Nick highly enough and will definitely be booking with him again!

Nick has spent the majority of his life around dogs. The difference between him and other dog owners is his ability to actively keep his dogs engaged and excited. Nick often runs around his neighborhood with them and plays various games involving a ball or a toy. When it comes to food, Nick is meticulous with his selections. He wants the best for the dogs in his care.

Nick is one of the most caring people I know. He is always good with animals and is a natural when it comes to caring after them. My German shepherd usually is shy around new people but she quickly became friendly towards nick.
