Availability

I work for myself and run my business from my laptop, which gives me very flexible availability for pet care. I’m currently available for daytime visits, evenings, weekends, holidays, dog walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in your home when my calendar is open. Because my schedule is flexible, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine instead of forcing them into mine. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday drop-in, evening visit, medication timing, or overnight companionship, I’ll do my best to keep things consistent, calm, and reliable. For overnight care, I only accept bookings that I can properly commit to, since I can’t be in two homes overnight at the same time.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care in the client’s home and neighborhood, so I take trust, cleanliness, and home respect very seriously. I’m clean, well spoken, non-smoking, drug-free, and careful when entering and leaving a client’s home. I make sure doors, gates, crates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely. Before a booking, I like to confirm feeding routines, walk expectations, medication instructions, emergency contacts, vet information, house access, leash rules, and any behaviours I should know about. I’m comfortable with senior pets, puppies, large dogs, shy animals, anxious pets, reactive dogs, rescues, and pets with mobility or medical needs. I also drive and have a valid driver’s license and insurance, which gives added peace of mind in case of an emergency. During visits and overnight stays, I’ll provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Reliable, Clean Calgary Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, puppies, senior pets, rescues, and large dogs over 100 lbs. My first dog growing up was a Border Collie named Zero, and I’ve also cared for multiple poodles and two cats named Bandit and Shadow. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve also been involved with animal rescue work, including helping with Wyoming Pug Rescue. That experience taught me patience, calm handling, and how important it is to earn trust, especially with shy, anxious, reactive, or rescue animals. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, large breeds, special diets, mobility issues, eye drops, medications, breathing concerns, seizures, and pets who need extra patience. I currently offer dog walking, drop in visits, and overnight care in your home. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible while giving you clear updates, photos, and peace of mind.

Nicholas did drop in visits for us for a couple of weeks, he was great, he provided great updates and ensured our little guy got lots of treats and pets. We would recommend using his services.

Nicholas stayed at my home for two weeks over Christmas while I was away traveling and cared for my Siamese cat, Jazzie. I was very particular about finding someone reliable, clean, and respectful of my home, and Nicholas was exactly that. Jazzie was well cared for, her litter box was kept clean, and Nicholas made sure she had playtime, attention, and the routine she is used to. I came home to a happy cat and a clean, well looked after house, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nicholas to care for Jazzie again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter.
