Pet care experience

Lover of all fuzzy friends 💕

I have extensive experience caring for pets, including running training classes for dogs of all ages. I’ve worked with puppies in specialized classes, as well as providing one-on-one training tailored to the needs of individual dogs and their owners. This background has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, which helps me manage a variety of situations calmly and effectively. What truly sets me apart is how I treat every pet as though they were my own. I understand that pets are beloved members of the family, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits during care, maintaining routines, or just giving plenty of cuddles and attention, I strive to make each pet feel right at home. I’m also experienced with senior pets and those needing extra patience and care, providing a calm and nurturing environment for all. If you’re looking for a sitter who combines expert training experience with the care and attention of a loving family member, I’d be honored to help!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. For walks and drop-ins, I ensure pets are secure, stick to familiar routes, and avoid stressful situations. I check all equipment and prioritize hydration and comfort. During house sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine and provide personalized care, ensuring they feel at ease in their familiar environment. For training, I use positive, reward-based methods tailored to each pet’s needs, making learning fun and stress-free. No matter the service, I treat every pet with love and care as if they were my own.

Nicholas has taken care of our bunny and cat several times now and always does an amazing job. It’s very reassuring to know they’re in good hands when we’re away.

Nicholas is always amazing with both our kitty and bunny. We love having him take care of them and feel very at ease knowing he’s at the helm when we’re away.

Nick is wonderful to work with and the dogs love him! He has always been on time and communicative about how things are going with the dogs which means a lot to us. We will gladly work with Nick in the future.

Nicholas was really friendly and on time! He was very good at handling Kona (who tends to jump) and was able to handle his pull-y nature. Very grateful for all of Nicholas’s help and I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.

Schedule

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize making time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s midday walks, extended visits, or overnight care. I make sure to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, ensuring their routines—like feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles—are maintained consistently. I also enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether it’s going for a fun walk, practicing training exercises, or just relaxing together. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my day; it’s a rewarding part of my life that I look forward to every single time.
