Availability
I am available every day of the week! After deciding that my old job in human resources was not for me, I decided to dedicate 100% of my time to caring for animals. I am free on weekends and holidays, and can easily fit early mornings or late nights into my schedule.

About Nicholas M.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my role as a pet sitter, the well-being and happiness of your beloved pets are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home or your client's home, I adhere to a comprehensive and personalized care approach. I ensure that the pets feel secure and at ease in their own surroundings. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and providing fresh water, as well as adhering to any specific dietary requirements or medication regimens your pets may have. Additionally, I understand the importance of mental and physical stimulation for pets. I engage in interactive play, stimulating activities, and regular walks to keep them active and content. Safety is paramount, and I am vigilant about securing the home environment, ensuring that potential hazards are minimized. I prioritize the safety of dogs during walks by utilizing secure leashes and harnesses, carefully assessing the surrounding environment for potential hazards, and maintaining constant vigilance to ensure a safe experience for pets. I am also well-versed in recognizing signs of distress or illness, and I maintain open communication with pet owners to provide regular updates on their pets.
Information Nicholas M. would like to know about your pet
Health Information: "Are there any existing medical conditions, allergies, or required medications that I should be aware of to ensure your pet's health and well-being during my care?" Diet and Feeding Schedule: "Could you provide details about your pet's dietary preferences, feeding schedule, and any specific dietary restrictions, ensuring I maintain a consistent and tailored feeding routine?" Behavioral Traits: "Are there particular behaviors or triggers that I should be mindful of to create a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet during my time with them?" Exercise and Play Preferences: "What level of physical activity does your pet typically enjoy, and are there specific activities or favorite toys they prefer during exercise and play?" Emergency Contacts: "Could you share emergency contact information, including your primary veterinarian's details, to ensure a prompt and effective response in case of any unforeseen situations?" Daily Routine: "Can you provide insights into your pet's daily routine, including regular walk times, play sessions, and nap schedules, to maintain a consistent and comfortable environment for them?" House Rules and Training Commands: "Are there specific house rules or training commands that I should be aware of to maintain consistency in reinforcing good behavior during my time with your pet?" Comfort Items: "Do you have any specific comfort items, such as blankets, toys, or favorite sleeping spots, that your pet prefers to have around for familiarity and security?"
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs on walks, whether in lively social settings or peaceful environments. I am dedicated to providing both mental and physical stimulation, maintaining an extensive collection of toys and puzzles. Interactive puzzle feeders challenge cognitive abilities, while chew and rope toys contribute to dental health and satisfy boredom. Engaging in games like hide-and-seek with treats or toys adds a layer of mental enrichment.

Nicholas did a fantastic job looking out for our three dogs while we were gone, which was such a relief for us to be able to relax and know that they were being well taken care of.
wonderful with dogs and great communication
Nicholas took great care of our pups and communicated each visit with pics of the pups. We will definitely use him next time we need to be out of town
Nick is the best! He is so good with our German shepherd!
