About Nicholas S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As I mentioned, both my partner and I are home all day and our dog Toby is super sweet, playful, and cuddly so your dog will always have a human or dog companion keeping them company and making sure they’re having a great time!
Home
Information Nicholas S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special food or medicine requirements, social issues, and their usual schedule for going outside. Additionally, knowing how they interact with other dogs is helpful so we know what to expect with our dog or dogs they see on walks.
A typical day
I like to make sure your dog has the best time possible within the parameters you are comfortable with and depending on what they like best. I have a very sweet and playful boxer who absolutely loves to play with visitors who come over but he’s also a big snuggler and happy to chill with his buddies if that’s the vibe. We also live close to parks if your dog enjoys that environment and our building has a small dog park that is generally not too crowded or is often empty if they’d like some exercise in a less stimulating environment. I am more than happy to tailor activities to your dog’s needs to make sure it has the best time possible!

Pet care experience
In addition to owning an amazing six year old boxer named Toby (who has never met a person or dog he didn't love), I have many years of experience taking care of all kinds of animals. Growing up, my family consistently owned large dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Retrievers, and mixes) for whom I was the primary caretaker. I also spent 3 years working at a veterinarian and boarding facility as a Kennel Attendant and worked for several months at a top rated dog daycare in DC where my duties included walking, playing with, feeding, watering, administering medication, and providing care to dogs of all sizes and breeds. I did Rover for years when I used to live in DC and loved the experience, Toby and I made many lifelong pup friends whose parents we still keep in touch with today. I’m available for walking, pet sitting, and boarding.
Reviews
Nicholas and family are amazing! Our first connect with them was when Harry was a little pup during a family emergency. They helped him with separation anxiety and Harry is happy when he sees them. They continue to help support our family during an ongoing health journey - can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend this family for any services - great home away from home for your pups! 🐾
Nick was awesome!! He took great care of Riley and shared lot of pictures! Thank you so much!!😇
Nicholas was fantastic watching Tilly and provided updates and photos along the way! This was our puppy’s first time being dog sat so we were a bit nervous, but glad we had Nicholas watching her!
I highly recommend Nicholas. He was very communicative, flexible, and always responsive. He sent me photos whenever I asked, and most importantly, he gave me peace of mind knowing Shusha was in good hands. Shosha came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I would absolutely leave Shusha with him again in the future.
