About Nicholas B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets like they are royalty. They absolutely bring joy to me so I always want to make sure that they are comfortable, content with enough play, receiving enough affection, and more. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring after your pets. I do everything I can from getting introduced to you & your pets before services start, to providing pics/vids from each visit to let owners see their pets and be updated while away! *Please note that prices are flexible, I’m willing to work with clients’ needs individually.* For my sake, I work best with written instructions so that I know exactly what my clients’ preferences are to best meet them.
Information Nicholas B. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know if your pet has any special needs/cautions that may need extra attention given. Owners always know best for their pets, and I want to provide them the best services. Letting me know your pets’ likes/dislikes, routines, and anything else that is important to you, will help me give them the best care I possibly can. I am completely comfortable with pets that may be less cooperative with strangers other than their owners. That being said, if your pet has ever been aggressive or regularly bites/scratches, please let me know ahead of time. I will still work with the animals, I just need to know precautions. **Please be aware that prices are negotiable and I am willing to adjust them based on clients needs!**
A typical day
I very much like matching pets’ energy levels and letting them dictate how we have fun together. Whether the animals like playing fetch for half an hour, going to a local dog park, or prefer to be wrapped up in blankets, I am happy to oblige and play along. It's important for me to ensure that pets are getting the right amount of exercise and interaction time. Knowing how to play with them or what favorite toys they have will help me know how to play with your pet even when there is poor weather outside.

Pet care experience
I grew up around family dogs (from a pack of huskies, to a pug who slept 23.5 hours a day, to an energetic German shepherd) nearly all my life. It was only after college that I fell in love with cats as well. I now own a 2 year old tabby, Dorcas. I innately get along very well with animals as I have a sense of calmness that animals especially can pick up on. I really enjoy working individually with clients to meet their pets’ specific needs. I offer all services and work with all types of personalities of dogs and cats!

Reviews
Nick was SO excellent!! He was caring towards our dog and seemed to be very affectionate with her. He stayed in touch with pictures and information about their activities and her reactions to things like bad weather or events during their walks. He even offered to clean up branches that fell during a bad storm. He’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!
Nick was great. He was very conscientious and responsible. We felt confident that our dog was receiving great care. He left our house in good, clean condition. I would definitely use him again.
highly communicative and i kept me in the loop. really curious about what will make my pup feel at home and honestly plan on using nick in the future! thanks nick!
Nick was fantastic! My cats, Maya and Calypso, are calm and happy following the extended weekend he took care of them. He was attentive, asked great questions, and delivery quality care. Thanks again, Nick!
