Safety, trust & environment

I give your pets lots of time, patience, and space to adapt and warm up. If they have a special or favorite toy, I'll use that to encourage playtime. I will 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 safety kits or an evacuation plan in case of emergency, 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 grown up with cats for most of my life. I started pet sitting by volunteering 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.

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!

Nick is an excellent sitter! He was very friendly and communicative, and my cats seem to love him. I fully trust Nick with my fur babies and recommend him as a sitter.

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.
