We had a great experience with Nicholas! He took care of our Penny for an extended stay over the holidays, and she was clearly well cared for and loved. I was so happy to receive a lot of pictures and clear communication. Thank you!

Nicholas worked well for me and my cats. He visited on a consistent schedule throughout the week and made sure all their daily needs were met

Nicholas took excellent care of my dog, Lucas. Communication was great throughout the entire stay, and he sent me photos every day, which I really appreciated. He was also very flexible with the drop off and pickup time, which made everything much easier for us. When Lucas came back home, he was calm and relaxed, which shows how well he was cared for. We will definitely keep Nicholas in mind the next time we need someone to take care of Lucas. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a vigilant sitter and walker who takes zero chances when working with my clients' dogs. My years of experience walking packs of 5+ dogs on a daily basis has given me the know-how to respond to any and all crisis situation should they arise.

A typical day

I love letting dogs sleep in my bed, so they will be woken up with love and affection first thing. I prioritize at least 3 walks a day, and live close to both Prospect Park and a local dog park so we can explore the local areas and meet up with other dogs. Typically I build close affection with my clients' dogs, and they don't want to leave my side while home. I love working on my computer with a canine companion at my feet!

If your dog is high-energy, I am also a runner and love to take my clients' dogs out for runs. Of course, I am conscious of their hydration and energy levels and make sure to stop frequently for water breaks and to curb the run length to fit their needs.
