Pet care experience

We can learn so much from animals

I grew up in a house that was always full of animals, which inevitably turned into my chores (best chore there is!). I will go to great lengths to ensure the safety and comfort of any animal. I have gone as far as tomato baths when my dogs were sprayed by skunks to carrying my pitty back from a hike UP hill. We currently have three puppers which are absolutely SPOILED and wouldn't mind spoiling 1 or 100 more! I am currently going to school and working from home. Neither one interferes with any request or preferences you may have regarding your little babies. I will accept same day scheduling as I am human and understand stuff happens fast. I do ask if you schedule in advance and need to cancel that you do as soon as possible, especially on the weekends. I understand that how I take care of my pets an how others take care of theirs is different. I would like to do a meet and great prior and at that time we can go over specifics if you choose for them to stay at your home. If you choose boarding, our fur balls have a fenced back yard, more toys than they need, an XXL dog bed with blankets, and a large wooded crate. We have a tile floor and leather couch so no need to stress! I will provide as many pictures and videos as you need to ease any sort of worry. At the end of the day, you would be choosing a trustworthy individual who will show your animal unconditional love like we have been best pals since high school.

Nick is always consistent and caring with Marley. Whenever we are going away and need care for her we know Nick can be counted on.

I recently hired Nick to care for my dogs and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to understand my pups' quirks and needs, ensuring a stress-free environment. His reliability was unmatched—always punctual, communicative, and consistent with feedings and playtime. What stood out most was his flexibility; he accommodated a last minute schedule change without hesitation, making the whole process seamless. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy, adaptable, and caring dog sitter!

Nicholas was an excellent companion for Olivia. He was always there to make sure she was calm and offered us options to do so. He gave us updates on the day and left everything in order when he left. 100% recommended and would definitely use his services again.

I really just need to know the basics. I would need to know if there is any medications, if your animal gets along with other animals, their aggression and energy levels (just for my own knowledge), and if they have a disability, what you do to accommodate for said disability. If boarding or house sitting, I would need to know their potty and eating schedule, and if they are allowed on the furniture or not.
