About Nicholas F.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have 30 acres and three male dogs that do not always get along so we have a strict crate and bedroom rotation to keep everyone happy and safe at our home. It requires a lot of work so unique situations at home are not lost on me. I’m very passionate about working with my dogs I take them on three to four walks a day on our property and most of which are separated so I get 12k steps a day just looking after our crew. I have a remote job which allows me to be home with them. Thankfully this year my wife will also be remote which allows me some time to look after your pets with her being home more.
Information Nicholas F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any need to be aware of, I’m no stranger to quirks. My dogs have quite a few indeed.
A typical day
Depends on the dog what are they into and how old are they? Do they like fetch? Are they resource guarding? Or do they just want to do zoomies? What about toys? I also like taking dogs on walks and working on training with them if you are into that.

Reviews
Would definitely use Nick again. Very communicative and took great care of the dogs and cat.
Nick was incredibly great drop in sitter, gave a ton of updates and insured my babes were happy!
Nicholas was conscientious with detailed texts about Cato's activities and pictures as well. I appreciated his care of my 17 year old kitty.
Nicholas has been walking my senior American Staffordshire Terrier, Maya, on midday walks, while I’m at work, and Maya couldn’t be more thrilled, with her walkies. She immediately warmed up to Nick, at her meet and greet, with him. She didn’t have any reservations, or shyness, and she brought her ball out right away and wanted to play a game, of fetch, and was all silly (at her senior level), showing how comfortable she felt, with Nick. He sends great photos, on a daily basis, and brings along the water I bottle provided and Maya’s collapsible water dish, because she drinks a lot of extra water, being a big dog, and 13 years old now. Nick shows a lot of extra compassion and care, for Maya, so I don’t have to worry about her, while I’m at work. Having an older dog takes so much extra care, so I don’t want Maya to have to suffer because of my long work day, and having Nick walk Maya and make sure she drinks enough water and goes to the bathroom means peace of mind, for me. Nick, and his wife, also have a lot of experience, with large dogs, and pitbulls, which was a huge added benefit. It’s also great that they foster and do rescue work, which is very near and dear to my heart, since I’ve done foster and rescue work, with pitties, for so many years, too, and that is a huge amount of work, and shows their commitment and devotion to dogs.
