I am a full-time PhD student at UPenn, with a general 9-5 schedule, mostly doing mornings and night/overnight pet-sitting during the weekdays. My weekends are generally flexible, often I adapt my schedule to fit your needs and desired pet-sitting expectations. When I do watch cats or dogs, I always adapt my schedule to spend time with them to make sure they don't get lonely and feel the most comfortable while you are away. Proud sitter for the pack of Mastiffs in Grad Hospital.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a two-bedroom apartment in Grad Hospital. I don't have any pets currently. I generally am willing to host cats. but dogs I cannot host in my building due to lease constraints. Overall, I am most comfortable doing check-ins/feeding/care and walks.

Pet care experience

Chicago-born and raised, I had 3 dogs growing up, a Yorkie, and two Bulldogs. I am currently a grad student at UPenn and have been pet-sitting for family, friends, and coworkers since I was a freshman in college in 2014. Comfortable with cats and dogs and most pets. I have experience with special healthcare needs (read I had a French bulldog for 13 years) and will take extra note of any needs your pet might have while you are away.

Nicholas did a great job taking care of Sawyer. She looked happy all the time and sent pictures throughout the day. Would book again!

Nicolas was great with our cat! Gave her lots of attention and sent plenty of pictures! He also left the apartment in great shape! Would highly recommend!

Nicolas and our pup were fast friends during our meet and greet and he took great care of her while we were out of town for a few days!

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.
