Highlights
Pet care experience
Always Reliable Never Ruff!
I've been fortunate enough to have dogs in my life since I was a kid. Over the past 7 years in particular, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of canines: shy, bold, sweet, temperamental, clever, energetic, healthy, in need of special care - you name it! I appreciate how every dog is a little different, and am ready to tailor your dogs' walks to their individual needs. Puppies, elders, and all ages in between - I'll make sure they're safe, well-exercised, and happy while in my care. Comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, with your ideals in mind. I can't wait to meet your dogs and take them out on the town! When walking dogs I am caring yet firm. I walk at a comfortable pace while making sure any pups that I am walking are happy, healthy and cleaned up after.

Ratings and reviews
Nicholas has such a fun house for dogs who like other dogs. My dog was so tired when he came home! Nicholas is also a great communicator, sends lots of pictures, and is very responsive.
Nicholas was an absolute angel with our 10 year old Lab. We were in the area on vacation and knew that Picasso was in excellent hands while we were out. Thank you Nicholas for taking such amazing care of our old man!
Nicholas was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Sent pictures each night. My dog came home happy, healthy, and tired. Thanks Nicholas!
Our almost 1yr old golden retriever Josie loved her 4 night stay with Nick and his family! Nick was caring, thoughtful, and communicative. Josie definitely enjoyed relaxing and sleeping next to Nick’s son. Nick even went above and beyond to bring Josie to our wedding day nearby his home—we couldn’t thank him enough. We would highly recommend Nick to any dog owner!
My Jasper didn’t even want to leave
Daisy loves visiting and we love being able to drop her off with confidence that she’ll have a great time. Thank you!

Schedule
I am a stay at home father. Most of my daily tasks can be adjusted to fit the needs of my clients and I can be quite flexible. My fiance has a hybrid work schedule. Most days there is always someone in the home, there will be times however where pets staying in the house will need to be crated or gated for upto 2 hours while I do walks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large yard in the woods away from major roads. I take dogs in and out on leashes a fence is in the works but it will be some time. I have 3 dogs who play well with others. I can gate off different sections of the house if dogs need to be separated or if they need a break. Dogs kept here will be in a home with other dogs, resting on the couch, playing and so on, not kept in kennels. I am bonded and insured through Pet Sitter's Associates to provide extra assurance and safety above and beyond the Rover Guarantee.

A typical day
Daily routine usually starts with a walk. I live on a nicely shaded side street that has a nice loop of just under half a mile. Next is breakfast. After breakfast tends to be a rest period where the pups spend some couch time. The pups usually start playing again after an hour or 2 they go in and out as needed. In the afternoon there is play time. Sometimes we go to the dog park which is 8 minutes away from my house. We usually do an afternoon dog walk. Dinner and then go from there.

- Temperament is key. Any dog that I board or spends time with my dogs will need to get along with my dogs. I have the space to separate them if they do not get along well, however I would prefer not to. As far as walking goes, as long as the dog likes me and I know of any leash reaction issues, I could just leave mine at home while walking.
