Compassionate Sitter

I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly see them as family. I have a lot of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m great at following routines, giving plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and at home while you’re away

Nicholas has been our dog sitter for a very long time. He is very responsible and trustworthy. Our dog loves when Nick comes to our home to walk/watch her. He is kind and considerate of others. We will always refer Nick to anyone looking for a dog walker.

I highly recommend Nick Basso as he is an attentive and caring pet sitter and truly has a passion for animals! He pays attention to details and has great work ethic.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m a student, but I manage my workload well and have plenty of free time. Since I’m graduating this year, my schedule is more flexible, and I’d love to spend that extra time caring for dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home, whether I’m caring for them in my space or theirs. I stick to their usual routines, keep the environment clean and secure, and give them plenty of attention and affection so they can relax. Building trust is important to me, so I also keep owners updated and treat every dog like my own.

A typical day

I’ll keep pets happy and active with walks, whether short strolls or longer adventures, depending on their energy level. I love spending time playing with their favorite toys and giving plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. It’s always great if you bring their toys along so they have something familiar from home. I’m great with both super active dogs and total couch potatoes. I grew up with a very energetic dog, so I’m used to all kinds of energy levels and know how to keep each pet comfortable and content

It’s helpful to know their daily routines, favorite activities, and any special needs or quirks. This way I can keep them comfortable and cared for just like at home.
