Highlights
Pet care experience
Used to big labs and st. Bernards.
I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicholas was an excellent host for our cat and communicated with us whenever possible so we would know that our pet was in good hands. He was very patient and made sure their guest was as comfortable as possible. I would recommend Nicholas to anyone.
Nicholas was an amazing sitter.His home is wonderful an my cat was very well taken care.I will be using him in the future an would recommend.You definitely will feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well taken off. My cat Roger seemed to really be comfortable staying.
Nicholas was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Willow. He sent me updates and a couple of great photos. But the real surprise for me is that this morning, Willow was sitting near her carrier. We all know that cats HATE their carriers - they bring memories of vet visits and long confusing car trips. But she seemed to be saying, "when are we going to that great place again?" On the practical side: when I picked Willow up, her litter box was emptied and spotless, all the extra food (and even a bit of litter in the bottom of the box) were returned, her dishes were also spotless, and she was as happy and friendly as ever. Very happy with this service - it is exactly what my cat and I needed!
Friendly warm atmosphere
Nicholas took great care of our kitty while we were away! He provided updates and pictures. It was clear she had a good time! Will definitely use Nicholas’s services again in the future! Thanks again! :)
Nicholas was great with my kitty while I left for a few weeks. She was very nervous, but he really helped her feel comfortable

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.
Pets
A typical day
If your furry baby loves to play, then we'll have a ball. For cats, I've got my feather wand toy skills clocked in along with kickers, crinkle balls, and laser pointers. For the dogs, we'll enjoy catch with a ball or Frisbee and play tug of war.
