Great with all dogs!

Pet care experience

I am comfortable with all dogs and I have yet to meet a dog that did not end up loving me. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have spent all my life around friend's and family's dogs. I am great at walking and playing with dogs, especially if you want them to have fun and be tuckered out when you get home! I have experience watching friends dogs and pets overnight. I also have some experience giving dogs medications, typically coated in peanut butter. I do have some animal care experience and have giving shots and other medical needs. If your dog has training routines or commands that you need worked on or need implemented, I am great at that. I helped with training our Aussie. I can't wait to meet your dogs!

Nicholas was wonderful to our boy while we were away. He’s extremely reliable and communicative. We received updates every day on how he did. We would love to use his services again.

Nick is an honest, trustworthy and dependable young man. He grew up with an Australian shepherd that guarded the home against delivery men and competed often in agility competitions. With me, his grandfather, he spent time playing and caring for three different dogs. The current dogs include a newf-hound and a border/retriever who thinks he is the best thing since puppy treats. Nick and I and both dogs took a camping trip across the country several years ago. It would have been really tough without his help with the dogs. He has a knack for keeping things running smoothly. He also has experience working at a wildlife rehab center one summer. He's pretty good with ornery owls as well. You won't go wrong handing your dog's leash to him.

I have know Nicholas all his life - he has grown up with dogs in his own home and those of friends and family and has assisted in the care of our own two dogs (50 lb. mixed breeds). He is well-schooled in feeding, walking, playing with, medicating, and all aspects of dog care. More important -- he is totally honest, prompt, and reliable and is able to react intelligently and quickly in an emergency. You can depend on him at all times.
