Pet care experience

Lifelong pet owner with a big heart

For as long as I can remember, I've lived in a household with pets! As a kid, my family had a little shih tzu and then later on we had a huge pit bull mix (we also almost always had at least 3 cats running around, adding to the craziness). I've always loved getting to spend time with animals because of their vastly different personalities, from the lazy pug I currently have to the crazy cats I take care of for friends! I'd love to get the opportunity to spend time with your pet too, whether it's taking them on long walks or just playing with them around the house!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a gated apartment complex currently with a large dog park. Because of my current home, I only offer drop-in visits and walks. Because of this, I'd be visiting your home. I believe in treating everyone's home with absolute respect so I'll make sure to follow all rules you set for your space as well as ensure your pets are safe and happy at the end of my visits!

Dog Walking • Aug 08, 2026

Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!

Nick has been a pet lover since he was a child. He grew up with cats and dogs and understands they need care, love and patience. As an adult he now has his own family pet. He would be an excellent pet caregiver.

I highly recommend Nicholas as a pet caregiver. I've known him for a very long time and seen his interactions and history with different pets. He grew up with three cats and several dogs, giving him a true understanding of both. Because he helped his mom care for their pets from a young age, he is as comfortable understanding a cat's personal boundaries as he is handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. He has also been a huge help whenever we care for friends' pets together. Nick is very responsible, patient, and respectful. Any pet parent whether they have a dog or a cat would be incredibly lucky to have him.
