Pet care experience

Paws, Scales, and Tails—All Loved

I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from fish and lizards to cats and dogs. My wife and I are proud cat parents to S’mores (who, despite my best efforts, isn’t too keen on training). I helped train both of my family dogs and still love visiting them at my parents’ house. After a busy year teaching high school, I’m looking forward to a summer with less talking and more time playing with pets. I’m happy to work on basic training or reinforce commands while you’re away—whatever helps keep your pet happy, safe, and loved!

Nicholas was so kind to our babies. He even went above and beyond and took our nervous Nelly of a baby out twice since he didn't pee the first time. We are very lucky to have found a lending hand to walk our boys. Thank you!

Nicholas & Tamara are great. They checked in and we're attentive to everything we ask. Add on to that, our pit bull is 70 pounds and they handled her very well.

Tamara and Nicholas were great with our cats, and we would highly recommend them! They took care of feedings and maintained the litter box while we were away, and they spent lots of time engaging with the cats and playing with their toys with them (even working to earn the trust of our shy kitty). They were also super helpful when things came up, like the auto feeder going offline and some electrical issues- we appreciated their willingness to drop in and help and all the photos/updates post-visit. Thank you for keeping our cats happy and healthy while we were traveling!
