Looking for new four-legged friends

Pet care experience

I consider myself a dog-whisperer as there is yet to be a dog I've met that I don't like and that doesn't like me. I own two dogs...a 14 year old shepherd/terrier mix adopted by my wife before we met who I fell in love with instantly and a 3 year old samoyed/pomeranian mix we rescued as a puppy (a mere 3 months before my son was born). There is nothing that makes me happier than coming home to my best friends and I'd love to share my enthusiasm, care and love with others. Having both of these dogs means I have experience with dogs of all kinds, from the energetic puppy wanting to run around outside and in the park to the loving older dog who just wants to curl up and cuddle. We consider our dogs our children/part of our family and I can bring this experience, fun and love to your dog. I am up for all needs...play time, walks outside, ball in the park, overnight stays, etc. I am decently available and can accommodate most needs with a couple days heads up.

Nick did drop in visits for the weekend while I was on a short trip. He was great with my two high energy dogs. Would use Nick again! Everything went smoothly.

I would definitely recommend Nick for any/all of your dog needs! We have a large, energetic, 4-year-old Belgian Shepherd mix who just adores him. He is so loving, giving her tons of attention; whenever she sees him, she is so excited so I know that he treats her great. He also always follows our requests for her needs so I know she is well cared for. Plus he sends lots of great pictures so that I know she's having a good time. Look no further! You've found your man.

Information Nick A. would like to know about your pet

Just the standard information: medication (if needed), eating preferences, exercise needs, general temperament (including whether they play well with others...both dogs and people), favorite activities, any favorite treats or toys, etc.

A typical day

I love to walk around the neighborhood and visit the dog's favorite park. If good, happy to take them off the leash and play ball. If there is a favorite dog park or forest preserve, definitely down to take them there as well. Fun activities include playing ball, long walks at their favorite spots, trip to the dog beach if they like to swim, treats and playing with their favorite toys, I provide a ton of affection and fun, as well as energy to keep your dog energized and having fun. With older or less active dogs, I am great at being more low-key and staying around home or just playing in the backyard when they're up for it. A fun cuddle or petting session is just as good as well.
