Pet care experience

Take your dog for a walk/hike

Hi! I’m Nicholas, a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog sitter here in Portland, ME. I enjoy providing walks, hikes, playtime, and belly rubs to make sure your dog feels loved and safe while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs required for your dog. This could include administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and following your dog’s routine. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! My wife and I are the go to dog sitter for our circle of friends, and hope someday to get a dog of our own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with excellent care!

Even after the front door locked Nicholas out, he and his wife still stayed with cooper until I was able to come home. They did not accept my cash tip I offered for being so patient, and they only had things to praise cooper for. Great walkers and great people!

Nick is a great guy and is really passionate about dogs. He frequently takes care of a good friend’s dog, most of the time for long periods. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that the dog is in good care. Nick will pay attention to the dogs needs and make sure that he is doing everything in his power for the dog to have a good day

Nick is very dependendable energic and fun. I think he would be good for rover because he loves animals and is responsible. He often lets his friends dogs out on his lunch break and walks her often for his friend when he’s available.

Safety, trust & environment

I would make sure to take special care of your dog, and make your dog feel comfortable. If I only did a house visit, I would make sure your dog has everything they need, before I left your house.

A typical day

I routinely take a dog out for hikes, long walks, and fun adventures. I could also stay in the owner’s yard, and throw the ball around. We are new to the area, but would always look up dog friendly areas. I can accommodate any special services your furry friend needs
