Pet care experience

I love dogs, dogs love me back!

Dogs come first in our house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on hikes, walks or play dates. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with safe pedestrian friendly streets. I also have a yard which is perfect for dogs to get in some fun in the sun and places cool off in the shade. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub!

Peace of Mind! That is what Nicholas provides. We had a LONG 12day vacation that was the first time away from our 6 month old puppy. I was so nervous about leaving her, however, once we met Nicholas and his dogs, we were thrilled. I knew our dog would be well taken care of and get tons of socializing with other dogs. He provided pictures throughout our trip and answered any questions quickly. We came back to a happy and healthy puppy.

Nicholas was an outstanding sitter for our two pups, Koko and Paisley! From the start, he made us feel completely at ease. He sent regular photo updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. One thing we especially appreciated was how thoughtfully he handled introducing them to other dogs. Koko and Paisley don't have much experience socializing with other dogs, and Nicholas did a fantastic job making sure those interactions were positive, safe, and comfortable for them. It was clear he understood their needs and took the time to help build their confidence. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Nicholas with our dogs again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about the pets in his care!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 04, 2026

This was Peach’s first daycare experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. We received updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Peach came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Nicholas was so welcoming to our pet and made us feel that she was in more than capable hands. We would trust Nicholas with her care without a second thought. Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.
