Availability
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home and maintain a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods and are treated like Big Lu, the Doberman who inspired Lu’s Doggy Watch, in other words, part of the family.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and supervision are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are cared for in a clean, comfortable environment with a fully fenced backyard, structured routines, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs are introduced carefully, monitored during play, and separated when needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, exercise, and sleeping arrangements, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
Home
Information NICHOLAS W. would like to know about your pet
Whatever you feel is important as a dog parent. You know them best! Could be any of the following below. Before a stay, I’d like to know about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, vaccination status, and how they interact with other dogs and people. It’s also helpful to know about any fears, anxiety triggers, resource guarding behaviors, escape tendencies, or special needs so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your dog’s stay feel like home.
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of supervised outdoor time, play sessions, potty breaks, and time to relax indoors. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality, whether that means playing fetch in the yard, going for walks, working on basic commands, or simply providing companionship and attention. My goal is to keep dogs active, engaged, fed and comfortable while maintaining a structured routine that helps them feel at home.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including large working breeds, senior dogs, puppies and dogs with medical needs. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs safely, and tailoring care to each dog’s personality and routine. Lu’s Doggy Watch was inspired by my Doberman, Eero Lucas (“Big Lu”), who recently passed away. After losing him, the house felt far too quiet, and caring for dogs again felt like the right way to honor him. Every dog in my home is treated like family, with a safe, structured environment, a fenced yard with birds and squirrels, plenty of supervised play, walks, pictures and attention! My goal is simple: give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
Reviews

Nicholas was super awesome. My dog took to him right away and Nicholas was just superb with Po. He was very good about sending pictures and just never once made me feel like I was missing anything. I would highly recommend Nicholas and will use him in the future for sure

Nick was awesome with Blue. Definitely recommend

Nick sent plentiful pictures and Hana looked like she was having a great time!

I was truly pleased with the services of Nicholas! My dog seemed to have really enjoyed herself as well!
