Experienced and trained dog handler

Pet care experience

I've owned pets my entire life and currently have one dog and two cats. I have worked at an animal shelter and am trained in working with dogs with all major types of reactivity. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and always use positive reinforcement when training.

Nic is a wonderful pet sitter! He treats my dogs as his own and makes sure he gets all the love and care that he would normally get when he is with me. He makes my pet a priority and goes above and beyond. He is one of the only people I trust to take care of my dog! Highly recommend!

Nic has always been our go to sitter for our pup! He’s attentive, knowledgeable, and super adventurous. He has a super friendly resident dog who is a sweetheart! You HAVE to book with him.
