Your Dog Is My Spirit Animal
Pet care experience
Hello! From early childhood I have loved dogs, having raised, housebroken and cared for 5 different pups-turned-adults with my mother and sisters (2 Chocolate Labs, 2 Jack Russels and 1 Yorkie, who passed away in the summer of 2016). After moving to Los Angeles in 2014 I was finally able to get my own little girl, Naomi, a purebred Jack Russel Terrier. There is a deep respect I have for canines, an empathetic connection that makes me uniquely qualified to take care of your kids. From long walks to overnight stays, while in my care, your pet can expect nothing but undivided attention and love. I am currently living with my sixth dog (after having raised five at home with my family) - about 15 years of close experience with canine lives has taught me that the most important quality to bring into a dog's life is love and affection. Even more so than people, dogs have a keenly acute sense of love, empathy and loyalty, and deserve an authentic relationship with their family and with their caretakers alike. This is what I bring to every pet I care for.

Nicholas will definitely make sure your dog is loved, safe, and cared for. And finally someone with just as much energy as your dog! You know they'll be in safe hands with Nick, and will come home to you happy and ready to relax!
I love Nicholas! What a beautiful spirit and a beautiful person. He walked our chocolate lab Bud for two years while he finished up at theater school in Tucson. Always on time, Bud would light up every time Nick came over for a walk. He is not a stickler on time and was usually very flexible with future scheduling. He connected with Bud in a way no other walker has since. COME BACK TO ARIZONA, NICK!
Nicholas has been my go-to guy for a few years now. He's great with Lucky and I know I can trust him to take care of her. He's been great with all the dogs I've seen him with - dogs just seem to instinctively love him. I can think of no higher praise.
In addition to being a good friend, Nicholas has demonstrated the kind of compassionate and caring nature essential to being a good friend to a pet. He seems to have in innate understanding of dog behavior and is one of the few people I know that I unconditionally trust with the care of my own dog, having done so on several occasions. Every dog (and dog-owner) I know greet his arrival with enthusiasm - I cannot think of higher praise.

Information Nicholas H. would like to know about your pet
All breeds and sizes are welcome! The only thing I always ask before meeting any dog is what his or her temperament is, and if there are any special walk routes or parks he or she feels happiest in.
A typical day
Living in North Hollywood affords plenty of wonderful spots to walk and play - North Hollywood Park, Woodbridge and Feynman Canyon are a few of my favorite spots. Dog runs in Runyon Canyon and ball play in the enclosed portions of Runyon are other wonderful options I take my own Jack Russel, Naomi, to.
