Highlights
Pet care experience
Will go the extra mile!
Hi, I’m Nico! I’m a grad student at UCLA’s film school, and I’ve been in L.A. for about 5 years. Aside from caring for personal pets, I’ve been a consistent and reliable dogsitting resource for many friends (here in L.A. and back in Texas). Graduate school allows me plenty of time to care for and attend to all the adorable dogs in my social circle! - I get along with all personalities. So whether your dog is high energy and constantly in the mood to play, or whether your dog likes to be a couch potato and kick back, I can easily match their vibe. - My girlfriend and I fostered a “classic canine” (9 y/o +) so I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping strict routines. FUN FACT: I recently had to bathe and blow dry a dog that was skunked at night. The dog’s owners later said neither the house nor the dog’s coat smelled like skunk. 🤯 - I’m committed to making sure you feel confident in your choice of dog sitter/walker, and I know you’ll be happy with my services. :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am deeply cognizant of any potential hazards for your pet; I like to discuss any specific hazards or concerns you have while your dog is with me. That could be anything from being mindful of open doors, to a strict diet, to keeping pets from teething at their stitches from a recent surgery.
Ratings and reviews
Nico was excellent with my little Boston Terrier, Rio. Rio has a lot of separation anxiety, and Nico constantly made sure that he was okay while watching him. Super communicative and your pups will love him. Highly recommended!
Nico was a great pet sitter for our dog. He was prompt and a great communicator. He provided us updates and photos throughout the day. Would definitely use again!
Nico is an incredible sitter - I always feel so confident every time Nico watches our pup. He is timely and deeply caring. I can't recommend his services enough!
Nico was a pet sitter for my dog Pixi. Pixi was an older dog who needed really gentle care and he went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. I trusted him to take care of Pixi for time periods as long as two weeks, and I never had to worry about her health or safety in his care. He is kind, thoughtful, and responsible. I would recommend him a thousand times over to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Nicholaus has cared for our dog Bear several times over the years, and every experience has exceeded our expectations. The truth is, once you find someone you trust with your dog, you don’t want to use anyone else, and that’s exactly how we feel about him. Bear is family to us, so we’re very selective about who we leave him with. Nicholaus immediately put us at ease with his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. He’s incredibly reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, and he always takes the time to make sure Bear feels comfortable and cared for. We especially appreciate the regular updates and photos. It’s such a comfort knowing exactly how Bear is doing while we’re away, and every update shows a happy, content dog who is clearly getting lots of attention and affection. The best part is that Bear genuinely loves him. Every time Nicholaus watches him, we come home to a relaxed, happy dog. There is never any stress, and it’s obvious that Bear feels safe with him. As pet owners, that’s the greatest gift someone can give you. We trust Nicholaus completely and recommend him without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, communicate well, and give you total peace of mind while you’re away, you’ve found the right person.
If you're looking for a kind, responsible, pet-loving absolute gem of a sitter, Nico is your guy! My shiba who can be tempremental and weary of strangers took to Nico quickly and is so excited every time she sees him. I highly recommend Nico for all of your pet sitting needs.

Schedule
I’m currently a grad student in the midst of writing my dissertation. This means I make my own schedule with very few strict time commitments during the week. A normal day for me consists of writing in the morning, a long walk in the afternoon, and reading/editing in the evening. All this to say, I really enjoy having a little buddy 🐶 by my side throughout the day.
