Your best friend is my best friend.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve been a pet care provider for the past couple of years and have a deep passion for all animals, whether they run, crawl, swim, or fly. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dog and am always focused and engaged with them. I take special care to understand body language and to keep a sense of the environment at all times to provide safety, comfort, and quality care for your pet. Our dogs are our babies and their safety and well-being is what matters most. I have no trouble with any special instructions, special care dogs, puppies under a year, or elderly dogs. No matter the age, breed, size, or temperament all pups deserve a good walk and plenty of belly rubs.

Nick is the best dog walker I have had since first adopting Cooper (an elderly greyhound) four years ago! Always prompt and reliable, Nick is someone I can count on to take great care of Coop during the day while I'm at work. He's also very compassionate and gentle with Coop, who is unsteady on his feet after having a stroke last summer. Whenever Nick takes Cooper out for walks, I'm never worried that he might be pushed to walk too far or could be in danger of hurting himself from falling over (which happens often). Cooper might be the best testimonial for Nick, though - he's typically quite reserved, but whenever Nick comes by to take him out, Cooper is thrilled to see him! He has the most happily waging tail and big, goofy greyhound grin! We're both very lucky to have Nick come by each day. I can't recommend him enough!

Nick is the best dog walker we have ever had. Our dog Ellie loves him so much, Nick is the only person she has ever excited peed for! Nick has been walking Ellie since she was 8 weeks old and is the only person we trust. He has a special way with dogs and Ellie is on her best behavior for him just because she loves and respects him. She is like this with no one else, not even friends and family. I highly recommend him!

I am a crazy dog mom. My puppy Ellie is the most important thing in my life. I do not trust anyone to take care of her, except Nick. He is the only person she gets so excited to see that she actually pees. I’m also pretty sure he is a dog whisperer because Ellie is a perfect angel for Nick (we have a nanny cam and I’ve seen it with my own eyes). If given the choice, Ellie would choose Nick over any other person, myself included. He is always on time, follows all my crazy dog Mom instructions, and my dog thinks he is the best thing on the face of the earth. My boyfriend, Ellie’s human dad, is actually jealous of how much Ellie loves Nick. I cannot recommend him enough.

Nick is a fantastic dog walker! Our dog, Bobbie Sue, adores him. He has been walking her for a little over half a year and it has been great. He always sends cute pictures of their adventures and does a good job keeping her happy with plenty of belly rubs :)
