I live alone and work from home as an instructor and researcher at a few universities. I wake up very early and love being outside as much as possible. I am keen to explore my surroundings, including parks! I have access to a vehicle too with advanced notice.

Information Nicolas P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet's character as soon as possible, including its general energy level, special care instructions, routines that it likes, areas (and parks) that it likes to visit, and any dietary needs. I have lots of experience with dogs of varying ages throughout my life, but I don't have any pet care stuff (like toys, pillows, blankets, foods, treats, etc.). I'll have to rely on you for those types of things.

A typical day

I would prefer to go outside with your dog (and cat, I suppose) and take them to a park with a dog (or cat?!?!) area. I would take them off leash in those areas and throw a ball or frisbee around and shout and yell...encouragingly, of course. If we had to be inside, I would encourage them to sleep and be quiet, to be honest. I am patient and can play immediately and spontaneously, though. I can even throw a ball around in my small apartment.

Energetic and patient

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Nick, and I am a lifelong animal lover. I believe every pet animal deserves a safe, fun, and engaging experience. Whether it’s a long walk in the neighborhood, a hike on the trails, or just some quality backyard playtime, I’m dedicated to keeping your pet happy and tired! I am reliable, punctual, and—most importantly—patient. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I prioritize clear communication and frequent updates. I look forward to giving your pet the attention and exercise they need while you’re busy. I just moved to Victoria BC and have lots of free time, a flexible work schedule, and a bike to get around.

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.
