Information Nicholas W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about behavioral challenges (i.e. temperament around other dogs, people, etc.) and any medical necessities as well - I want to ensure that you have no worries when they’re in my care!

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do is walk around Horner Park - if your dog needs exercise, this place is the perfect environment for exploring! For dogs that may not have as much energy, I am also perfectly okay with a quiet night in!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓)
