I’m a theatre performer, so my schedule is pretty flexible. That means I’ve got lots of time during the day to spend with pets, whether it’s going for walks, hanging out, or just making sure they’re comfortable at home. Honestly, caring for animals is one of my favorite parts of the week — it keeps me active, happy, and always surrounded by good energy (and wagging tails!).

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets’ routine the same so they feel comfortable and secure — whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company.

Information Nicholas I. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time — like feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, or things that make them nervous. The more I know, the more I can make them feel at home and cared for.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! That might mean long walks, trips to the park, playtime with toys, or just lots of cuddles and attention if that’s what they love most.

I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds — from playful dogs and curious cats to small animals who need a gentle touch. With plenty of experience and a true passion for animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping routines consistent, I’m here to give both pets and owners peace of mind. - Administering oral or topical medications - Caring for senior pets with special needs - Puppy training reinforcement (commands, housebreaking) - Cat behavior understanding (shy, anxious, or high-energy cats) - Handling high-energy dogs (exercise + stimulation) - Experience with crate training - Special diets and meal prep - Knowledge of pet first aid - Experience with small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles)

Nicholas is a wonderful person and did a great job housesitting our English Bulldog Red! He sent pictures and messages to keep us up to date, which was appreciated since our dog had is older. The house was completely clean when we got home, just how we left and it was an excellent experience working with Nicholas!!

Nick was awesome and took my house and dog sitting request last minute. He was quick to organize a meet and greet with me and was amazing with the pup. He was communicative and I came home to a happy pup. The house was also super clean! I will definitely be a regular for Nick after this visit.
