I work remote full time, so I have a lot of extra time to take care of the dogs. I also am always out walking with my family and their dogs and taking them on different adventures.

Information Nicholas C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to take account for. I have had many dogs growing up including those who have special needs and/or are reactive, so I am flexible

A typical day

I go on walks around my neighborhood regularly as well as frequent trips to small local parks, and hikes all around (including upstate). Being remote also allows me to have a lot of quality time with all the dogs that I watch

Dog Lover & Outdoor Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and my first move after getting my own place was to adopt my own dog, Phoenix. Despite Phoenix’s passing, I have still stayed very active in the dog community with both fostering and dogsitting. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and needs and am very eager to help with yours!

Nicholas did a fantastic job watching Duke during boarding. He kept us well in the loop with tons of photos. Duke seemed like he was having such a great time, I wondered if he even wanted to come home! We will certainly be using Nicholas again in the future!

Thank you for taking such great care of my big guy! It is always easier leaving knowing he’s in good hands. I appreciated the regular updates and photos. Will be requesting to stay with Nick again in the future.

Nicholas took great care of Bentley for us when we went out of town for 5 nights. His communication the entire time was great and handled everything with ease. We will definitely be using him again when we travel.
