Dog whisperer or maybe just talker

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover and can enjoy if not tolerate most animals. Just got out of the service and going to school to get a degree. Experienced with many situations from dogs with aggression knowing how to read signs and how to react if/when these problems should arise. Also, I am attentive and cared for many breeds and temperaments. Been around and owned many dogs. Currently on occasion take care of neighbors' dogs and other pets. My love for animals and especially dogs began when I was younger and have had experience while helping at humane society and veterinarian office when I was interested in becoming a veterinarian. Hopefully someday can become a breeder or help run adoption agency to keep dogs off the street and out of the pound.

Nicholas did a great job caring for our senior dogs even with their medication schedule. He even fed our fish! We would definitely book him again in the future.

Information Nicholas S. would like to know about your pet

Got to know because depending on services and dog, what them to feel as comfortable as they are in their own home. Don’t want them to feel like they’re away from their owners. So much fun and activities/toys for them.m, they won’t have time to miss them.

A typical day

Cater to individual needs of all dogs. Know how to avoid or handle situations that can and might come up. Have plenty of experience with either one dog multiple dog households. Have experience in grooming and some training techniques. Willing to put in extra time in to ensure all needs are met everyday and have owners feel as if they are hiring a sitter to watch kids because that is the level of care I will give.
