Information Nicholas R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they have any specific routines, allergies, or favorite toys. Are there any behavioral quirks or triggers to be mindful of? Understanding these details helps me provide the best care possible!

A typical day

A typical day involves plenty of outdoor time, from walks in the neighborhood to playing fetch in the yard. I ensure meals are served on schedule and that we spend quality time bonding with belly rubs, cuddles, or games. I love to walk and play fetch, letting pets explore their surroundings through sniffing—it’s like a library for dogs! Discovering new scents stimulates their minds and keeps them happy and engaged. Plus, I enjoy inventing fun games tailored to each pet’s personality.

Pet care experience

I’m a proud dog/cat dad to two beautiful girls—Lou 🐶 and Pig 🐱, and I’ve lived in a home full of animals my whole life (so only having two is strange for me.) I am the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family because they know I just can’t say no.
