🐾Energetic & Flexible Dog Care! 🐶
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for critters my whole life. I have always owned dogs and have experience with a variety of pets, breeds, sizes, and other species as well. My care is always animal specific: I make sure to understand your animal’s needs first and adapt their care and cleaning as needed.
Reviews
Nicholas was absolutely amazing with both our dogs. Our blue heeler is very afraid of people and he made an extra effort to build trust and make them comfortable. He's an excellent communicator and fantastic house guest. Even left a beautiful hand drawn portrait of one of our dogs. I will absolutely book with him again!
Nick was VERY accommodating to my last minute ask for a drop in visit for my two large pups. Upon initial meeting, my more independent guy took to Nick immediately which was a big surprise to me. He’s very friendly, timely and courteous. I will certainly be asking Nick to care for my pups again!
Nicolas was great with our 4 month old puppy! They had a blast and he was able to follow all the many instructions we left for potty training, playtime and nap time. Would definitely recommend to other puppy parents!
Our puppy had a wonderful time. She took right to Nicholas and could tell he was kind. She got to go to the beach with her dog pals and run around and learn from the “big kids.” She didn’t want to get in the car to go home! Nicholas also sent us lots of photos and a video throughout the day. Thanks so much Nicholas!

Safety, trust & environment
My house features a securely fenced back yard with grass, dirt, and a porch to play on. My two dogs, Miley and Buttercup, are fantastic company for any social dog. I am an avid walker who takes leash-listening seriously while keeping the adventure fun for dogs of all sizes. I can easily vary care for dogs of different breeds and socialization comfort.
Information Nicholas S. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to get to know you and your 4-legged friend! Please provide me details about your dog’s dietary needs, play expectations, level of socialization, and any other special requests. With dogs of my own I understand that every animal is different. I look to give yours a specialized day of activity and care that reflects what they are comfortable with at home.
A typical day
Each day at the house includes a walk, visit to a local dog park (if your pup is social) and unlimited scratches! With a playful dog resident, abundant play and sleep areas, and a spacious back yard, every day of dog care is unique and stimulating for the dogs. I am always happy to vary care as need be to ensure that YOUR dog has the best visit imaginable.

Availability
Dog care is not just my job, but a passion! Pups come first and I am home daily, open for care. I do some work from home but my schedule prioritizes walks, siting, boarding, and of course play time!
