Highlights
Pet care experience
Lakeview Dog Dad
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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.
Nicholas was great! Our puppy loved his time there!
He was awesome, and sent great photos of my pup during his stay.
I needed someone to puppy sit last minute, and Nicholas was a life saver. Everything went smoothly, and my pup came back exhausted 10/10 experience.
Nicholas took great care of my pup and was very easy to coordinate with!
Nick was so great with Ruby and was super easy to communicate with! Thanks again for watching her on short notice!

I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so I am available for boarding, walking, sitting, and drop-ins seven days a week.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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!
Pets
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!
