Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Dog Sitting & Walks 🐾
I’ve spent a lot of time around larger dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with handling strong, energetic breeds. I’ve also cared for a deaf dog before, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and communicating with dogs in ways that work best for them. I’ve handled stressful situations as well, including a time when a dog I was caring for had stitches rip and needed immediate attention. Because of experiences like that, I stay calm under pressure and always prioritize the dog’s safety and well-being. I’ve also looked after an older three-legged husky, which taught me how to be patient and attentive with dogs that need a little extra care and support. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like they’re my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At the moment I’m not able to host pets in my own home, so I focus on providing care in my client’s home where the dog is already comfortable and in a familiar environment. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine with walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I genuinely love dogs and believe they really are man’s best friend, so I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well looked after while their owner is away.
Ratings and reviews
What a godsend Nicholas was for our pups! Our trip away had stressful events, but the care of Pepper and Layla back home wasn’t one. It is clear that Nick adores the company of dogs, and our pups felt the same about him. Also, he could easily handle the 170 lbs of dogs for walks; that is a rare quality in dog sitters. He was communicative, and sent photo and video updates. We will definitely hire Nicholas again.
Nick was amazing! He stepped up last minute to help us out and took such good care of the fur kid, who took an immediate liking to him. He was prompt and responsible, communicative and kind. We would love to have him back any time.
Nicholas is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. He treats every pet as if they were his own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays close attention to their needs and routines. I would absolutely trust Nicholas with my pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!
Nick is an amazing person! He has watched my dog for me in the past. Trustworthy, honest and has a big heart! I would recommend to anyone!
Nick is excellent with animals. I had him look after my husky who unfortunately had a leg removed from cancer. Nick took extra care of him assisting with medicines and carrying him up and down the stairs as he couldn’t quite figure out how to navigate them. He is definitely the kind of guy you want looking after your pets.

Schedule
I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule. During slower periods of work I like to stay active and productive, which makes dog walking and pet care a great fit for my routine. I enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active, so making sure dogs get exercise, attention, and care throughout the day comes naturally to me. Because I manage my own schedule, I’m able to be reliable and give pets the time and attention they need.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know a few important details so I can give them the best care possible. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know how they behave around other dogs, people, or new environments, as well as any triggers or things that may make them anxious. I also like to know their favorite activities, toys, and commands so I can keep things consistent with what they’re used to. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the easier it is for me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.
