Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nick! I work for TSA, looking to dog and dog sit on my days off. I’ve been house/dog sitting for ten years and I’ve always enjoyed it ! I’ve been called a “Dog Whisperer” because I believe in building a strong companionship with each of my four-legged friends as well as going on adventures and playing games with them. I can assure you that your pups’ tails will wag! I’ve been housesitting for practically my whole life and I’m a very meticulous sitter. I’m available to drop in and play with your furry friends and make sure your house looks immaculate. My goal is for you to come back home to clean house, happy pup and no stress coming back from an stress-free vacation. EN🇺🇸|FR🇫🇷

Nick did an awesome job housesitting for 4 days, taking good care of my home, dog and cat. Thanks to Nick, I was able to have peace of mind and enjoy my vacation. My house was clean, my pets were happy and well cared for and Nick even watered my plants and brought in the mail. Highly recommend Nick for your pet and housesitting needs!! Thank you, Nick!

I've used Nick's dog walking services twice. First time it was great. The second time I was very disappointed. The dog walk was booked for 4pm so when I hadn't heard from Nick by 4:30pm, I sent a message just asking if all went well. He called me and said he'd gone over and everything went well but he forgot to fill in the Rover info so he'd go back and do it all again. This didn't make sense at all to me. Then, once at my place he messaged confirming where to leave the keys, which if he had gone the first time he would have needed to know. I suspect he forgot about his commitment and only realized when I messaged him. I'm just disappointed with what seems like lack of transparency with the situation and will not use him again.

Nick was friendly, responsible and had great communication. Oreo was happy and I'll definitely be booking with him again.

Nick was so tolerant of our newly adopted dog who has his share of behavior challenges. We were so confident that he could handle the dog and we were able to have a relaxing trip away. Thank you Nick!
