Pet care experience

Personalised care for your fur baby

I’ve loved all animals my entire life, and have always had atleast one dog of my own. I have been in the petcare business for over ten years now. I started out in grooming a bit over ten years ago, later on l was the boarding supervisor at a dog daycare pool and boarding facility. I later went back to grooming while also doing Rover dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting and boarding at my house. I moved to Nebraska and became the Kennel manager at Town and Country humane society where l helped save and rehome lots of dogs. While at Town and Country l completed and internship with Wildling Dog training and have been training dogs professionally ever since. I have worked with dogs on all ends of the spectrum, from dog/people reactive dogs to overly confident and exited pups. I’m currently enrolled at UNOmaha studying biology and environmental sciences. I am a young, passionate and energetic guy; with a positive attitude and an immense love for animals. I speak spanish and a bit of french so l can absolutely accommodate for a language barrier. In my time working with animals(especially dogs) l have been able yo spend thousands of hours studying dog behaviors and body language. I have had lots of experience administering medications and feeding dogs with special needs. Over all, l have a deep passion for animals and their care. I live by the belief that we must protectand speak for animals as they have no voices of their own.

Nicholas was so kind and thoughtful. He helped my nervous Duke settle in right away as Duke was happy and relaxed for their visit! Nicholas is knowledgeable about dog behavior and psychology, so he knew right away how to approach Duke and help him feel confident and secure. Duke enjoyed his visits and I would absolutely work with Nicholas again!

Nicholas was great! He provided all cares and tons of photos of our boys throughout his visit! He followed our instructions/wishes and our doggos seemed to love him. Thank you Nicholas

Second time having Nicholas stay with our two beagles and couldn’t ask for a better sitter/guest. Our dogs love him and we look forward to using him again the next time we travel.

Nicholas was a great sitter! Super responsive and communicative the entire time. He was great with my dogs when I observed him with them during the meet and greet. I'd highly recommend him and would easily use him again.
