Availability
I offer flexible daytime and evening availability to walk, visit, and spend quality one-on-one time with your pup. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, exercise, companionship while you're at work, or an evening check-in, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy, comfortable, active, and well cared for until you're home.

About Nicholas D.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I use secure leash and harness practices and follow your pet's normal routine to minimize stress. I carefully monitor dogs for signs of illness, injury, overheating, fatigue, or discomfort during walks and visits. I clean up after every walk and help keep your home tidy by wiping muddy paws, cleaning food and water bowls as needed, and promptly cleaning up any accidents. Fresh water is always provided, and feeding instructions are followed exactly as requested. I sanitize hands and equipment between visits when appropriate to help reduce the spread of germs between households. I keep gates, doors, and fences securely closed and locked, and I never leave a pet unattended in unsafe situations. I communicate with pet owners after each visit, providing updates on walks, meals, medications, bathroom breaks, and any concerns that arise.
