Pet care experience

Dogs & cats are my favorite people

I've always loved every animal growing up. I probably begged my parents for every type of animal from a dog to a raccoon even. They finally caved in when I was about 10 and got me a black pug who i took care of as my first pet care experience. Later my love for animals lead me to major in veterinary science in college however the schooling was a bit too difficult for me. Even though that did not work out I take any chance I can get to work with animals because I love it. I am currently in my senior year of college at reno, now majoring in agriculture science. While in college during summers and winter breaks when I am in vegas for two years I worked at the doggy day care and boarding facility called dogtopia. At dogtopia I started as a canine coach and became fully trained in dog behaviors and language. As a coach I maintained control of a large groups of dogs, up to 35-40 dogs at one time. Although there were many I engaged, played, and enjoyed caring for each of the dogs. I always maintained a clean and safe playroom for the dogs and am very comfortable around all dog breeds and sizes. I was later promoted to the rover position at dogtopia where I train and support the Canine Coaches, prepare dogs meals & give medication/supplements per instructions, bathe dogs and attended to dogs who were boarding, including on Sunday’s when the store was closed. I also have a roomate in college who has a cat who I have taken care of so I have experience taking care of cats as well. Overall I just love animals and would be happy to help take care of yours. :)

Here I am… again… leaving Nick a 5 star review! For anyone considering Nick to watch their pets, I say sincerely… he is absolutely wonderful with the cats. In one picture he shared this visit, he was able to hold Birch in a manner that he doesn’t even let me hold him (Birch is a kitty we got through a rescue who didn’t have a wonderful home life prior, unfortunately and is very skittish when held certain ways). Nicks got all of the cats quirks down and clearly their trust along with ours. We will hire him again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Nick watched the cats for the third time and as usual all was a success. The daily pics and his attentive nature towards both us and the two kitties at home, while we took our senior kitty out of town for a procedure is just impressive. Nick is wonderful and I recommend him with the highest regard.

Nick has been great for the second time! The boys enjoy his visits and we returned home to all things in order. We will gladly book him to watch the boys again. Thanks Nick!
