Availability
I'm available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and can accommodate last minute requests. I'm a social worker, so my schedule is pretty flexible but I try to keep afternoons for my clients.

About Nick V.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I give your pets lots of time, patience, and space to adapt and warm up. If they have a special toy, I'll use that to encourage playtime. I'm also content to sit and read while they warm up to me. I'll ask about vet info, eating schedule, litter, health/medications, and outdoor/indoor needs, and follow up with you with any questions, concerns, pictures, and updates while you're away.
Information Nick V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your cat has any special dietary needs and any relevant medical information. It's also helpful to know their comfort level with new people and strangers. If you have specific instructions for an emergency (knock on wood), please let me know.
A typical day
I try to match energy levels. If they want to play, we play. If they want to sleep, I'll sit with them and read. I'm a big fan of catnip mice, feather wands, and endless chin and ear scratches.

Cat care experience
I’ve lived with cats for most of my life. I started pet sitting at a shelter, where I worked with senior cats, cats with medical issues, and cats who were blind/deaf/limited mobility. I also have experience working with bonded pairs, kittens, adults, and outdoor cats.
Reviews
Nick is detail-oriented and kind to my cat. I would recommend and readily re-book for future visits.
Nick was so great with our kitten. Gave detailed and ample feedback on how our fur friend was doing. Easy to communicate with and very flexible. Our kitten took a liking to him and our family appreciate his love and care to our kitten.
Nick is a great sitter! His communication is great and my cats seem to be very comfortable with him. I have used him several times and have found him to be very reliable and trustworthy!
Nick took excellent care of my two cats for 10 days while I was out of town. He is kind, caring, responsible, communicative, and great with cats. My normally shy senior cat was immediately comfortable with him, and Nick was extremely patient and sensitive to the needs of my rescued feral kitten who is very scared of people. I highly recommend Nick's services; your pets will be in good hands!
