Highlights
Pet care experience
Love & care when you can’t be there
I’ve loved and lived with dogs since birth and have experience with every kind of dog from couch potatoes to chaos gremlins. I’m all about earning the ultimate seal of approval: your dog being excited to see me! I’m here to impress your dog just as much as you! I am also Red Cross Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid in case of emergencies!

Nicholas also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
As a responsible, meticulous and dependable pet sitter I prioritize each pet’s well-being, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, playing with energetic kittens, or simply providing companionship to senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As your house sitter my goal is for you to spend your time away with no worries and return to your home just as you left it with no added stress. I am very self sufficient when it comes to accommodations, I provide my own portable sleeping materials if staying for overnight care, no need to prepare a guest bedroom or worry about bedding! All of my bookings are within a very short distance of my home, so I can handle personal daily needs (cooking, bathing, etc) in my own home, no need to worry about towels, tubs, and dishes! I am extremely laid back and do not require anything for my stay, you just enjoy yourself and I’ll handle the rest! I’m also happy to help take care of other things such as bringing in mail/packages, putting out trash, etc.
Ratings and reviews
Our two cats and puppy just love Nicholas!
Nick was great. He was extremely communicative throughout out trip, giving us updates and pictures. The house was in good shape once we got back. It is hard to emphasize the value of knowing that your pets are being well taken care of when you're away.
Nicholas has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations in house-sitting my three dogs Bister, Artemis, and Winston. Long story short. The house lost power for 3 days during a mid-summer heat wave. Nicholas saved the day. After a brief phone call for consensus, he shepherded the pack to a local hotel with AC. Didn't miss a beat with their daily routine. I've booked with Nicholas twice since. He's earned my implicit trust for home and dog care. Looking forward to booking with him again next month.
Nick was everything I had hoped for. Leaving my older dog for 10 days was a really hard decision for me; she had only been left with family for a day or two. Nick was professional and respectful which is great but most important of all, he treated my girl with kindness and caring. We came home to a house that had been cared for and a very happy, relaxed pup. Thanks so much Nick, you were great!
Caring and responsible, plus my dog Nell is now in love with him. And she has excellent taste in humans.
Nicholas did a terrific job as always. The girls, Pearl (a labradoodle puppy), and Lucy and Layla (calico kittens) adore him and always have a great time while we are away.

I have flexibility in my schedule in order to best meet the needs of you and your pet, with open availability outside of other scheduled visits! If providing overnight care, please note that due to other scheduled visits and personal responsibilities I am unable to be in the home 24 hours a day, however I am able to guarantee I can adhere to their designated meal and potty times, and assure that they will never under any circumstance be home alone for a period longer than 4-6 hours as stated in my profile.
