Highlights
Pet care experience
The gentle giant of pet sitting
I am a "gentle giant" with a lifelong passion for animals and over 19 years of experience providing dedicated pet care. By trade, I work in the electric industry, which means dependability, safety, and attention to detail are built into everything I do. When you leave your home and your furry family members in my hands, you can rest easy knowing they are being watched by someone who is as responsible as they are soft-hearted With my background in electrical work, I am naturally observant and highly dependable. I treat your home with the same respect and care that I treat your pets. Animals truly take to me. I provide a calm, steady presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and relaxed. I am also an avid photographer! You won't just get a "check-in" text; you’ll receive high-quality, beautiful photos of your pets throughout the day so you can see exactly how happy and settled they are.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a special place in my heart for senior animals. I understand that older pets require a patient, calm energy and a gentle touch. I am fully experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, liquids, or specialized care—and I am highly attuned to the subtle changes in a senior pet's comfort and behavior.
Ratings and reviews
Nicholas is absolutely amazing!! He provided in home pet sitting for our 4 dogs for 5 days. He sent us pictures and videos of our pups daily. Our doggy crew were very calm and happy when we returned, and our house was left in pristine condition. We highly recommend Nicholas for all pet care needs and will definitely request his services in the future.
I couldn’t be happier with the care Nicholas provided for my cat, Jack! He was absolutely wonderful from start to finish, and most importantly, Jack absolutely LOVES him. 🥹❤️ It's clear that he genuinely cared about Jack and took the time to make him feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I received wonderful updates and pictures while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and very well-cared-for cat, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Nicholas!
Nicolas has been wonderful! He communicates well with owners and is respectful of pets and personal belongings. He makes you feel like you’ve left your furry friends and/or your home in trustworthy hands!
Nick is always so great with the animals and a huge help! He's very friendly, goes above and beyond, and the animals enjoy spending time with him. If you're looking for a trustworthy and flexible petsitter - Nick is your guy!
My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!
Nicholas was exceptional! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter in the Danville, VA area. My father had a medical emergency and wasn’t going to be home for a few days. During our visit to VA we were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet with Nicholas on very short notice at that! My dad’s dogs have never been away from him for more than 24 hours. The dogs quickly warmed up to him and I immediately felt a sense of relief. Not only is Nicholas attentive but he certainly has a way with animals. He was extremely caring, patient and great with communication. He put our minds at ease with staying in communication as well as sending amazing photos/videos of the pupps! He’s quite the photographer! I couldn’t say enough nice things about our experience. Both of my dad’s dogs are large lab/Shepard mix. Nicholas took to them like they were his own. We can’t thank him enough for all he did. If we could leave more than a 5 star review we would!
