Safety, trust & environment

I take pet safety seriously and will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and home security. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect while making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!

Information Nicholas K. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, I’d love to know: - Your pet’s routine (feeding, walks, bathroom schedule) - Any medical needs or medications - Behavior around other animals and new people - Favorite activities and things that make them feel comfortable - Any fears or triggers (loud noises, separation anxiety, etc.) This helps me make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for!

A typical day

Each day is different depending on the pets I’m caring for, but my focus is always on providing attentive and loving care. A typical day might include morning walks or playtime, feeding and fresh water, and plenty of affection. Throughout the day, I make sure pets get exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship. For overnight stays, I follow your pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, this could mean long walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or enrichment games like treat puzzles. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys, feather wands, and cozy lap time (if they’re the cuddly type!). My goal is to keep pets happy, engaged, and well-cared for while you’re away.

Experienced & Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over ten years, providing pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra care. I currently work in legal aid, but I continue to offer pet care when my schedule allows. Whether your pet needs a cuddle, a long walk, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like my own! What Sets Me Apart: - Experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments - Comfortable administering medication (if applicable) - Happy to help with senior pets or pets with special needs - Personalized care based on your pet’s routine and preferences - Lots of love, patience, and belly rubs! - As a Yale graduate, I bring dedication and attention to detail to everything I do—including caring for your pets!

We found Nicholas in a pet care emergency-our regular sitter had to cancel and our flight was the next day. We really lucked out in finding him. He was so responsible and responsive in the animals adored him. He was great about communicating and sending pictures and he left the house in immaculate condition. Highly highly recommend this kind person!

We are so grateful to have found Nicholas! He is patient and understanding with our somewhat anxious but entirely lovable dog. Always on time, friendly, and helpful. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Thank you, Nicholas!
