Highly trained animal expert.

Pet care experience

Professionalisms! You get what you pay for when it comes to service. My formal background as an animal behaviorist and trainer as well as my love for animals and first class work ethic makes me perfect for the care of any and all animals. I’ve accumulated about 11 years of paid formal husbandry experience working with domestic/other animals. I’ve hand raised and trained several hundred animals that include about 25 -30 different species. I was even on a few Discovery Channel shows as an animal expert and animal stuntman. I have my class 3, 2, and 1 animal handlers license issued through FFW. I also have formal dog training experience of about 2 years at a facility in Miami. I did basic obedience, advance off leash hand signal training, service dog training, and even protection or working dog training. Over all I’ve personally trained hundreds of happy dogs and happy owners one on one. I have also been entrusted to house sit and maintain many multi million dollar mansions and multi million dollar yachts up to 85ft. All while working for a yacht management company in Miami FL. My job was to look after and maintain their boats/homes for months on end while they were out of town. I have even done a few formal chartered yacht trips to the Bahamas and back as First Mate on these ocean vessels. I’ve had a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders before and you can feel confident that my experience and expertise is what makes me the best choice and sets me far ahead of others. In summary, I’m very responsible, good under pressure and most of all I love animals of all kinds and do my best to bring joy to all gods creatures I encounter.

Finley loved his walk with Nicholas and we loved all of the advice/training tips he had to offer. We definitely look forward to utilizing Nicholas' knowledge and experience for future walks and visits.
