Availability
I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet. I’m able to provide the attention they deserve and can easily accommodate last-minute bookings or changes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—it’s something I look forward to every day.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Here’s how I approach pet care in both settings: In My Home: • Safe and Welcoming Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards and providing cozy spaces for rest and play. • Consistent Routine: I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime to help pets feel secure and reduce anxiety. • Personalized Attention: Understanding that each pet has its own personality and preferences, I adapt activities and interactions to suit their individual needs. In Client’s Home: • Respect for Home and Rules: I adhere strictly to the homeowner’s guidelines, ensuring pets follow their usual routines and house rules. • Home Security: Before leaving, I double-check that all doors, windows, and, if applicable, fence gates are securely closed to keep pets safe and maintain home security. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep a list of emergency contacts, including the pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest animal hospital, to act swiftly if any health issues arise. In both scenarios, I focus on providing loving care and companionship, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their surroundings.

Paws-itively the Best Care in Town
Pet care experience
DOGGY DAY CARE [only 1 spot avail. for cat-friendly small/medium sized dogs] I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs since I was a teenager, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog body language and their unique needs. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, and I have hands-on experience with training, including basic commands and leash manners. What truly sets me apart is my patience and calm approach—whether I’m working with an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra care, I always tailor my approach to make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. I also have experience with reptiles and small animals—from feeding routines to habitat care. If you have non-traditional pets at home, I’m happy to assist with them too!”

Nayke did very well with our tricky cat and we are very grateful for it.


Nayke was awesome!! Both of our cats were so well taken care of and our usually shy one even came out for him!! 10/10, would absolutely recommend Nayke!!
Nayke did a great job caring for our 2 kitties while we were away. He sent daily updates and pics. We came home to 2 happy cats. Thank you!


One of the best, most professional dog walkers ever experienced. Highly personable and responsible, with great care to pets. Highly recommended!
