Pet care experience
Reliable & Loving Care for Your Pet
What sets me apart is the personal attention, patience, and peace of mind I provide. As an experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is not only safe, but comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is in good hands. I also have personal experience with rescue dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and allowing dogs the time and space they need to feel comfortable and build trust. I know every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours and provide the kind of care that works best for them.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nick watched my very high energy pup, Pepper for 2 nights. He was great with her and took her for walks, played frisbee, kept to her food schedule during the day, and tended to all her needs. He also kept us updated with pictures during her time with him which was great. I would bring Pepper back to him in a heartbeat!
I have known Nicholas since he was a child. He always loved dogs and as an adult he had two dogs of his own, both rescues, that were given a wonderful, loving and safe home. Nicholas is a very responsible person and I can vouch that any pet in his care will be happy and super well taken care of.
Nick is a wonderful, caring, and highly responsible animal lover. I have left my dog in his care on more than one occasion, and I always felt completely confident knowing she was in very capable hands. I also knew that if any issues came up, Nick would know exactly what to do and would take the same steps I would if I were there. My dog absolutely loves spending time with Nick and is always excited to visit him whenever she can. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to care for their pet. He gets a 10 out of 10 from me!

Schedule
I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including daytime, evening, and weekend availability. My schedule also allows me to accommodate last-minute requests when possible. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s routine and needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping each pet safe, comfortable, and happy by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other special needs, while giving your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. For boarding in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, walks, attention, and supervision. I’ve had rescue dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. I take the time to help each pet feel secure and at home while they’re with me. For drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise, companionship, and care they need while you’re away. I’ll also send photos and updates after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for.
A typical day
A typical day includes morning and evening walks, plenty of playtime, outdoor exploration, and of course, lots of cuddles and relaxation. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with their favorite toys, games, and activities while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality, energy level, and preferences so they stay happy, active, and comfortable.

- I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding and potty schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special care instructions. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with new people and other animals, as well as any fears, triggers, behaviors, or quirks I should be aware of. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.
