Pet care experience

Your Best Friend's New Friend!

I grew up with cats and have grown to love dogs. I had my own cat for 13 years before he passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I love to care for my friends' pets! But with an open home, I'm ready to treat your best friend like my new best friend! I've taken care of cats and dogs extensively throughout my life including providing medication at regular intervals. I've also looked after snakes, turtles, and geckos, but I don't have any equipment to house them. But I love all animals whether fuzzy, furry, or scaly!

Nicholas was fantastic, will definitely rebook! Very responsive, easy to communicate with, and regular updates during Bubba's stay. I felt assured before and during the stay that Bubba would have a fantastic time and he did!

Nicholas was amazing in every aspect of dog sitting. He was always keeping me up to date with information and photos of my puppy and was super flexible. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Nick was an amazing pet and house sitter, and I highly recommend them! They watched our cat and home for 10 days over the holidays in December and were fantastic throughout the entire experience. They were very communicative both leading up to and during the stay, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos of our cat. Our cat is usually very nervous around new people and tends to hide, but she warmed up to Nick surprisingly quickly, which says a lot about how calm and caring they are. They also went above and beyond by helping with things around the house, like taking the trash bins out on collection day and watering our plants. We came home to a happy cat and a well cared-for home. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Nick again for future cat sitting needs! :)

Nicholas is exactly the type of person you want around your pet. Caring, attentive, responsible, fun loving and full of love. Dogs love them too! Watching Nick around our cats for 20 plus years, and with all dogs we come across is a joyful thing.

Nick is the absolute best with animals! They are the most caring, attentive, kind, responsible pet care takers I’ve had help me. Dogs and cats just gravitate to them. They are so easy to communicate with, and treat every animal like their own. I couldn’t recommend them enough for watching your beloved pets.

Schedule

I live in downtown DC in an apartment building close to several parks. I have a hybrid office job but live a short walk away from my office, so it's easy for me to swing back home whenever is necessary. I regularly catsit and dogsit for friends, but currently don't have any pets of my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I respect animals autonomy, but always prefer to play, cuddle, or walk with the pets. They'll have full access to my apartment. They're welcome on furniture and if they prefer to hang out solo, that's okay, too. They'll still get the same love and attention, just from a few feet away.
